Erwin, if I recall: As long as the preset fader has nothing patched to it, you can save your look there. Preset faders with fixtures patched to them obviously control the intensity of that fixture.

thanks alot…I only know how to stop strobes which i will set an open fixture for it…So far i didn’t realize about the stop value in gobo rotation..Thanks for the info, might try it during programming. I have another question though. Like wat you stated in your guide, how do we save playbacks on a fader on a expert titan. Do we just memory our programming and select the swop like how we usually do on the playbacks?? For example- I put in a circle and dimmer saw as my programme and when i memory it i just save it on the place where i patch my lights?? If so when i wanna play it do i just push the faders?? cause as i remember pushing faders will give the lights its dimmer value. Sorry my english is not that good and you might be kinda confused but i hope you could help. Thanks alot in advance =D

Hi Erwin

Within the Gobo Speed attribute (that is often, depending on the moving light, also the Gobo Index) there should be a range of values. Rotation at different speeds, clockwise and anti-clockwise and a Stop value. In a memory or palette, record that Stop and play it back to stop your gobos from rotating – and don’t forget to do the same with strobes or prism rotates – having a Stop palette for these LTP attributes is important as they continue rotating/strobing/whatever until you ask them to stop.

Hi rob,

This article is very informative and i learned alot about it.
But i have one question. As we save gobo rotate(fast or slow) how do we set it to stop??
Do we just set a static gobo which is included in the wheel or there is another way?? I have a show which needs me to programme and its onli 2days away…really need help.

I have a question about setting up lighting. I am the pastor of a small Church and our lighting guy had to leave for college. Let me begin by saying that I am in the dark about lighting programming. I worked in a stereo shop while in college, and I understand wiring and basic concepts, but I have no experience in lighting wiring and setup. We have a dmx panel and 4 American DJ LED light bars on our Church platform. Somehow, something got out of sequence and we cannot control the lights on the platform, they run on their own, with some control, but then it seems that they are in slave mode to other lights and run on their own.

I would like to reprogram the lights. I was not sure how to do it. there are four buttons on the LED bars that read “Mode”, “Set Up”, “Up” and “Down”. There is a digital readout where it tells what mode etc the light is in in red writing. We have the lighting daisy chained and all of the connections are made and seem to be ok. So how do we set the lighting up. What should the digital readout be set on for each light? We desperately need help.

Thanks,

Glenn Deaver

Cool just found this blog on the same day I learned that I need to master a new ETC console. I Love the way you lay out your process for programing a show.

If there are any mods out there to the SG.DAT file, then the Avo forums or the Blue Room is the place to ask. If you fancy it, you could edit the file yourself – there is some information at Avo on the the file, I think. Not my cup of tea, tho.

Thanks for that 3 combination idea. I tried it today in my warehouse, it was working fantastically. I understood that the light can do only few things. Rest remains in the head of the LD:).
Ok. Now another doubt. Is der any way to download any new shapes uploaded by avolite gurus for their other advanced desks.
