Driving NEW parameters into cues
@mikekars wrote:
I added a new fixture to a show and used the Clone feature to drive the new fixture into groups, presets, and cues for an existing fixture. That all worked pretty well. The new fixture(s) are RGBW fixtures and they were cloned from existing RGB fixtures.
When the Color category presets are modified by the Clone operation, the additional "W" (white) color parameter is included for the new fixtures and is assigned a null value. This is what I would expect since the Clone command would not know what value to use.
And, as a result the "W" color parameter is not part of any cues either. I suppose I can understand this limitation.
So I use the programmer to edit an existing color type preset named FOH AMBER and assign a non-zero value to the "W" parameter for the new fixtures and then re-Record that change to the same preset "merging". Now I see the FOH AMBER preset looks good and has a value in the W parameter.
However, the changes to the preset are not automatically reflected in any cues. That is, the "W" parameter is missing.
For Example I have an existing cue named FOH LIGHTS AMBER that now contains the new RGBW fixtures and references the FOH AMBER color preset. Tthe "W" parameter is not part of the cue values. It says "FOH AMBER" but only contains the RGB parameters.
To get the W parameter into existing cues I have to edit them one at a time re-recording with the modified preset.
Is there a way to automatically drive the new W parameter into the cues?

Edit Cue Macro No Apply Option Only Delete Button Available
@jmiller wrote:
I am fairly new to MPC and am experimenting with recording Macros in cues. I can add a macro to a blank cue but when I try to assign a function, in this case, release the cuelist with the next go, I only see the "Delete Macro" button and not the "Apply" or "Del All Macro" buttons. Any idea what could be going on?

Help identify issue
@chrisdrayburn wrote:
Hello. My first time with an issue... thanks in advance for helping!
We have an asus all in one pc, Martin M-Touch Controller and 16 Blizzard Hotbox 5 RGBAW LED Cans. The system is very simple. The dmx cable is plugged into can 16 and then daisy chained back to can 1. Things have been working great for 2 years. All of a sudden, things don’t work. The first thing I noticed was that fixture 1 was outputting a dull green. Everything else was off. The controller and MPC software were working great, but the lights would not respond to any software commands. I took 1 can to the A/V booth for testing. The DMX address is 001. I created a new show, patched it but there is no response. When I navigate thru the hotbox menu, I can adjust the light, color and intensity. As soon as I plug in the dmx cable, which is connected to the controller, the dull green starts again. So I powered the can off, unplugged the dmx from the controller and only plugged it into the can. Plugged the power it and it came on as normal. As soon as I connect it to the m-touch it starts that dull green again. I tried different dmx cables and tested the 5-pin to 3-pin for continuity with my multimeter. Everything is testing good.
I reinstalled the MPC software with the instructions from the Martin website. Did all firmware updates to the m-touch and retested. Same results. My conclusion is that the M-Touch is no longer working, even though it is responsive with the MPC software. Something about the dmx signal out is not working.
Any thoughts?

MPC Tools with Midi Timecode
@Georg_Matt_Gonner wrote:
Hey guys,
is it possible to use Midi Timecode from Reaper (or a similar tool) AND mpc tools for the midi devices at the same time?
I used LoopBe1 as a virtual midi cable and it worked fine with M-PC. I enabled the Midi input at the midi timecode from reaper was displayed. Everything fine.
But using mpc tools, the midi input in M-PC has to be switched off.
Is there a workaround?
THX everybody

Tracking Suggestion
@jp_ridgard wrote:
It would be great if you could consider adding a global/geberal tracking off for all cuelists.
I know I can use the active/inactive record option, or turn tracking off in the cuelist options, but, I’d like to turn of tracking for all cuelists at once.
Thank you.

M1 DMX Output Issues
@david.ruggles wrote:
Is anyone else having this issue? There are random times when my M1 doesn't feel like outputting DMX from the DMX out in the back of the desk, Opening it up and re-seating connectors to the DMX PCB seemed to work but I'm not sure if that is what "fixed" it

Trouble blacking out Overrides
@mikekars wrote:
I have a regular cuelist saved to a playback button that I like to use as an "instant blackout". I am having difficulty getting a fast blackout on some active cues that are on overrides and/or Q-blender type overrides. I am able to instantly blackout all the simple dmx par fixtures but some of the others that have some of their channels controlled by overrides take some time to release.
For example I have a moving head fixture that has channels for "shutter" and "intensity". I set those to zero in the blackout cue , set it to snap all channels, zero delay, zero fade, etc.. But the moving head still takes it's time to scroll through it's color gobos , come back to some initial P/T position, and then finally close the shutter. Not a good "blackout at all!
There is only the one cue in the blackout cuelist but it also has some macros that try to get the overrides to go to "zero". The macros on that cue to set the problem override cueslist to "zero" and then release them. Still no luck getting a fast blackout.
Before I added the override / Q-blender type cues to the show a fast blackout was easy. Now I am pulling my hair out. Seems like a basic blackout should be a no-brainer.
What am I missing?

cannot record some fixture values
@Alejandro wrote:
I hev recorded plenty of fixture values into cues and sibmasters, but i have problems with certain types of fixtures. To beguin with, fixtures appear in white color in the 2D view without my intervention at all.. Accordingly, the RGB values are set at 100%,each.
They respond to the programmer, and I can change color as I want, but when I try record that into a submaster, the color strip on the fixtures values track go orange, and the fixtures go back to white, with RGB values again at 100%.
However, it works when it is recorded into a cue
Some help?

Cannot slow fade back to a "stay alive" cue
@mikekars wrote:
I have a regular cuelist with one cue on a fader playback that sets only the intensity parameter for a par type led fixture to 50%. This cue is set to "stay alive" in its options.
I have another regular cuelist with one cue on a fader playback that sets the same intensity parameter to 100% and changes the par color to white. This is sort of a "HiLite" effect for a par used as a front light.
This second "hiLite" cue has an 8s release time set in its options screen. Fade mode is default. When I release it the colors slowly fade from white to their previous setting as expected. But the intensity always "snaps" back instantly to the intensity set on the "stay alive" cue. So even though the colors slowly fade the abrupt intensity change makes it impossible to slowly release the "HiLite" effect.
Is there a way to have the intensity slowly fade back to the "stay alive" value?

M-PC not sending DMX out of M-Touch, but works when using "Console Tester"
@Soundguru wrote:
Hey guys,
I've looked through the forums and tried everything from uninstalling a windows update to reinstalling and using the Martin Lighting Cleaner to updating firmware on my M-Touch. I'm at a loss, as my title reads I can not get any dmx to be sent out while using the show file but using the console tester in the menu under System > Tools > Diagnostic. I've downloaded M-PC onto another laptop and it works as designed, with the same M-Touch and everything else being unchanged.
Any help to troubleshoot what's wrong with my main laptop would be very much appreciated.

debug Martin Universal USB-DMX 2
@Barabba wrote:
Hi mates, I need kind help.
I'm using LJ 2.95.1 wint Win7 64 and I have problems with 16 bit offset fixtures. On LJ DMX output panel all seems work correctly, when the LSB from a 16 bit offset increments a carry goes correctly to MSB and 0 to LSB, as it should be, but in reality, looking how the fixture moves, the MSB looks affected when the LSB value overcomes only 192 (if I remember right). So I have unwanted "steps" when slowly moving the fixture. I guess can be a bug of the program, do you know about it? or it can be inside the fixture firmware but I dubt because i have the same problem with two different brands, or maybe the USB to DMX adapter has a firmware bug (driver version now is 11.4.562.0). Here are some questions:1) Since I have all the fixture effects configured for LJ 2.95.1, and I don't want to upgrade to M-PC and spending a week to rebuild all manually (I guess), can I expect a bugfix on 2.95.3 about that? How can I run it under Win7?
2) Is around any way to debug the DMX controller itself without LJ? Just writing a value to a dmx address manually can be enough to check if the fixture moves correctly and the controller is bug-free.
3) if doesn't exist a way, can I eventually use M-PC in demo mode for have a test on it?Thank you a lot for your kind help!

MPC-Tools Swop function

Hello,
I'm having troubles with assigning swop function to my MIDI controller (AKAI apc40MK2), when I trigger swop on screen it works perfectly but when I try to assign swop to some of my MIDI buttons it just doesn't react. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? It's assigned as GO and Release as there is no SWOP function to bind. Any suggestions?

Position of Virtual keyboard on M6
@claytonhubick wrote:
I have an M6 with a 3rd (Martin) monitor. The pop-up virtual keyboard has always come up on the internal right screen, but recently has started coming up on the external screen and I have no idea how to get it back. Unlike most pop up modules where you just drag them where you want them, the keyboard will not. You can position it vertically within the display but that's it. I've tried disconnecting the 3rd screen, re-starting and it worked, but as soon as I restart with the external display connected it goes back to it. Ideas?
