Hi guys,
I was wondering if I could have a little help using the StageDesk 16. The following is what I want to achieve:
) I have 8 par-38 cans, 2 pinspots, 2 strobes, and a water effect machine ( Abyss II ) and some rope-lights that are all on separate channels.
) I want to be able to run chase patterns - specifically the built in ones - but I don't want the pinspots, abyss, or rope lights to be involved in the chase as to not ruin the transformers (already destroyed my first 2 pinspots unaware - even though the relay pack is zero-crossing) (no transformer on the rope lights but I want manual control)
) In addition to having the pins/abyss/ropes/etc not involved in the chase, I want to be able to control them manually (using the sliders) so that I may turn them on/off as desired.
) I tried following the instructions in the manual using the 'Kill' function but it appears to have done nothing. I turned a chase pattern on, pressed kill (the light lit up), and pressed the flash keys for the channels I wanted to remove, but they still come on during the chase. Does this only apply to user-defined patters? If so, is there any way I can copy a built in pattern into a user-defined slot so that it will work?
Any help is appreciated.
