Can't register Martin Lightjockey 2

Hey there.

I just bought a used, but original Martin Lightjockey 2 one key and DMX box (this one: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ol3uSO277Xc/VQEZ5Jl5eWI/AAAAAAAAAC4/IGzkmeQvsbE/s1600/b_8560.jpg)

I've installed the one key driver, and CodeMaster software. As the codemaster software shows, the USB i recognized and is carrying a license to Martin professionel, but no matter what i do, it won't register Martin Lightjockey 2. Anny suggestions?
Thanks!

Grand Master on M Touch

@greendoor wrote:

Not sure there is any way to do this currently, but for me it would be really useful to be able to map the Grand Master fader onto the M Touch somewhere. I can achieve the same thing pretty much with an inhibitive cuelist, but seems strange to have the Grand Master function in the software which does exactly the same thing without the need for a cuelist.

Buttons colors of the M-Touch

@LEIDA wrote:

Hye
In MPC, i've set my cuelist so that the forcetouch button (the one under the fader) is the GO.
the 2 buttons on the top are respectively Flash and Release.
Is it normal that when i launch a cuelist (with the go button), i've no color on the button ?
It's grey (no color) and nothing happens when i press it.
Maybe it could be green, to show that it is activated ?
the only thing i can see is a little led indicator on the release button.
Is this normal or do i have to set something else ?
Thanks by advance

Simple LED Look

I'm trying to create a simple static look with a line of, lets say 20 LEDs, where they start with one color on stage right become a different color around center stage and then back to the original color at stage left. Like a gradient between two choose colors or something to that effect. Sorry if I'm not explaining this well or my terminology is way off, I am fairly new to programming.

Question about modifying the intensity of an override.

@Action_Joe wrote:

Recently we were doing lights for a dirt rave where we were lighting up the front of a wooden shack with a mix of conventional and led fixtures... well we created an over ride that put the intensity on the cyc lights and leds lighting the front of the shack to full, but the cyc lights took a moment to get to full intensity due to the nature of conventionals, whereas the leds came on instantly and cut to zero intensity instantly as well. How can I slow down the leds to match the intensity curve of the cyc lights?

Playback fader 6 is wonky on my m-touch

@Action_Joe wrote:

It seems as though there are particular cuelists, (we've noticed this with submasters and overrides in particular) that don't behave properly and the touch faders will spaz out and sometimes the flash button will get stuck on mysteriously and stay lit green. I think this has happened with one or two of the other faders as well but it's hard to remember which ones. I've moved playbacks off of 6 and onto another fader like 7 and they go on to work just fine. I might need to get the m-touch looked at by a pro. How would I go about doing that? Should I talk to the dealer I bought it from? (Impact Lighting in Richmond in San Francisco Bay area)

Hi there,
I am in the process of setting up an M-PC setup for a theatre and we created nice new panel layouts etc for a twin screen set up.
Now when we try and start the program it hangs at starting live output and wont start.
It seems strange that it allows you to create these however should you choose to change them it then cannot handle it and will not start??????
Is there something i need to change in the settings?
Cheers

Only 10 F# Buttons?

@visualvoodoo wrote:

Hey there folks,
I am using a Hog1000 to trigger everything in M-PC. So far so good, however just wondering why there is only 10 F# Buttons to access when there is pretty much unlimited amounts to make if we so choose within the software.
If I am wanting to create all the top menu buttons on the hog to things like preset positions, colours effects etc how could I do that?
I would have assumed I would do that with the F# buttons but obviously 10 is not enough.
Quick responses would be great as we are trying to have this working by the weekend.

jeff

Fader for variable effect speed.

@barnumflight wrote:

I thought this was covered in the old fourm but can't find it. I want to use a fader to control the speed of rotation. So in the master cue list I have the fixtures with the gobo I want (making sure it is on the rotation selection). Then on another handle have the rotation. I have tried doing it with an overide but it keeps the speed constant throughout. Any ideas?

    Cheers,

Jumpy encoder wheels

@barnumflight wrote:

Today is just full of questions. I have had my m2go for a while (and worked for the previous owner so I have had it since new) and the encoder wheels seem to "jump" back when using them. For example if I rotate it up to 90 it will jump back to 85 even though I am still turning the wheel to the right.

       Thanks,
                Tony

Console Update - Fixture Library/OS/Firmware/Software

$

@MMSTom wrote:

We recently purchased a second M2Go console and were trying to update the fixture library. Unfortunately whenever I plugged in a USB drive with the newest update the console seemed unable to recognize the file to begin the update. I tried different USB drives and ports and was unable to get the console to recognize the file. It can search through folders on the drive so clearly it's recognizing data that's there but seems unable to access the file it needs.

I did some further digging and it appears that the last update this console had was very old. We're currently running:

Software Version: 3.42.570.0 (release)
OS: M2GO OS Version 540 (Service Pack 1 - build 6.1.7601)
Fixture library version: 14.November.2014

I was unable to find where the firmware version is listed but given this data I'm assuming it's out of date. So this brings up a couple of questions:

  • Is there a reason the console would not be able to recognize a new fixture library without the updated soft/firmware and OS
  • If updating will help what is the best order to go about updating (OS first, software first, etc) and can you point me in the direction of a tutorial to walk me through the process.
  • Where can I find the OS, software, and firmware update files for the M2GO console?

Thanks for your help.

Arkaos CITP

I'm trying to get Arkaos to work on my M6. I have everything patched correctly and I have control of the Arkaos software, I just can't get my CITP to work properly. In the 'Network Devices' pane on the CITP Thumbs page, when I connect my Arkaos machine, it doesn't assign it to the properly patched Arkaos fixture. It just recognizes it as a random media server. Is there some way to forcibly match up the two to make them sync up?

Work around for fader assignment similar to MA

@mattsmithadelaide wrote:

Hi there,

Currently have 8x101 8x250 in a venue and trying to use a fader (Fader 1) as my overall intensity effects for all lights.

Currently I have
Cue 1: All on (no fx shutter open intensity 100%) (fades fine)
Cue 2: Fx of all fixtures slowly fading in and out (fx only on intensity)
.... Cues 3-9 mixture of these
Cue 10 All fixtures flashing user shutter presets

Problem I have is when you use the faders for cues 2-10 they are a mixture of FX engine based and fixture based effects. When you pull the fader down on Cue 2 it slows down the fx rate and amplitude. When I pull down Cue 10 it goes through all the 101 and 250 effects in the shutter channel (pulse, shutter etc)

Is there anyway of assigning the fader to only effect the value of the intensities of these? I'm thinking some kind of inhibitor with macro cues or something but not too sure.

Version2.7 build3: Master intensity - how to "master fade" 3 channel RGB's with no intensity channel

@doppler wrote:

Referring to LJ version 2.7 build 3 on windows xp.

I have a large amount of 3 channel RGB fittings with no channel for intensity. I want to use a master fader but the 'Master Intensity' window only seems to fade 'intensity' channels. How do I get around this problem without overlapping channels. Is there a patch?

Thanks,
Anthony

Multiply /block/ selection for MOVE function.

Hi Everybody :slight_smile:
During (pre)programming the show you create many Presets, Cuelists and so on. You create more and more of them...
For better and more efficient work organisation and graphical visualisation (grouping and moving on the screen) could be very helpfull possibility to move not only ONE but... multiply or "block" of Presets or Culists buttons (squares) on the screen.
There is no such possibility now. You can move only ONE Preset or Cuelist at one time (MOVE function) for new place one the screen and if you need to move more - you have to make it many times.
It will be usefull to mark more than one or area of "area" of Presets or Cuelist and move them in ONE MOVE function act.
What do you think about it?
