Override question
@Leon wrote:
Hello,
So I am trying to record override that will control effect on LED fixtures . Efect is doing intensity swing on all segments of LED fixtures and the thing is that I want be able to control only fx speed with my fader. When I push up fader he is controling fx speed but I also think that he control range of swing intensity. Therefore when I put fader on 20 % fx speed is slow but swing only goes to like 30% intensity. IS there a way what swing will always go 100 % and that I only adjust fx speed with fader?
Thanks!

Selecting/Deselecting Cues
@edyoucaterself wrote:
I apologize as I think this is a basic concept I am failing to grasp. I am having trouble selecting cues to edit.
I have created a few cuelists, and would like to rename some of them, and add parameters to some of them. When I select 'Edit' and the cue and then Enter, if I go to the Selected Cuelist windows, the last cue I created is still populated. I am having trouble changing selected cues.
Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial that covers the concepts of selecting/deselecting cues?

M6 2nd submaster module - all subs fire at 0%
@KatTheLD wrote:
I just installed a second submaster module in my M6, set to ID1, and I'm having a big problem with it:
Any submaster from the ID1 module (or at least, any that is not ALSO on the bank the ID0 module is showing) fires at 0%. It looks like the console is ignoring any level data that isn't coming from ID0. There are no inhibitives in the entire show file, and I have bank change releases turned off, so I have no idea what would be causing that. Copying a submaster from one page to another will either break or fix it, depending on where you copy it to/from, so I know it's not the actual submasters that have problems. Cuelist Options settings appear to have no impact on these issues, and they occur exactly as described above even in a freshly created show file. I even swapped the physical locations of the modules to see if it might be a wiring issue (it's not).
Bonus weirdness: If I set a fader level on the ID1 module and then flip the ID0 module to the same page as ID1 for a moment, the console suddenly notices the level set on ID1 and accepts it as valid, without me touching anything on the ID0 module. It will stay frozen there after I change the ID0 module back to another page. Any attempts to edit the level on the ID1 module while the ID0 module is pointed elsewhere will be ignored.
I'm going a little crazy over here, because I can't for the life of me figure out why this is happening. Please help!

Is there a way to LOCK a preset panel from scrolling?
@brianshupe wrote:
I would like to program buttons 1-10 for fixture A and 11-20 for fixture B.
I would like to have to panels for intensity in two different columns, with column 1 pertaining to fixture A and column 2 pertaining to fixture B.I would like the intensity panel in column 1 / fixture A to display buttons 1-10.
I would like the intensity panel in column 2 / fixture B to display buttons 11-20.I can do all of this.
What I can't do is to then LOCK those panels so you can't scroll away from that set of buttons.The purpose of this layout is to try and make a bulletproof "just press and go" screen where a layman can run lights simply without going into the 2d planner and selecting lights and the Parameter panel.
I would like the buttons in 1-10 to only apply to fixture A and not change any parameters on any other fixtures 11-20 to apply to fixture B, etc.Is this possible?

MSD Pro - Video output stopped working - Resolved
@Sylas wrote:
Hello, I am having issues with video routing via MSD Pro. I has been functional for months, but all of a sudden has stopped responding.
I have been on the road last two months so assumed it was latest update, but after rolling back, I'm still facing same issue. I have double checked feed routing, video mapping, and file type...all seems to be correct.
Oddly enough, still photos load with no problem, it's just video playback.
All previous working videos show me a MSDpro splash logo.
Anyone have an idea what could be causing this?

Updated M2GO, now it says its a Maxxyz Compact??
@j_gold wrote:
So I updated our Martin M2GO controller to 3.70.885. After installing the first thing I see is Martin Maxxyz. I didn't know what to think. then I was asked the monitor location on the screen. Internal was the only option. I thought this was pretty weird. Then I update the firmware. Start a new show. Next thing that this message pops up on the screen reading:
This Maxxyz Compact is not licensed to run on Windows 7 Embedded and has Insufficient Hardware. Please purchase the Maxxyz Compact Version 3 Upgrade kit through your local Martin Dealer, which contains upgraded components including a windows license. While this console will continue to operate, its performance and speed may be compromised. The Operating System is not licensed and is only provided for evaluation purposes. By confirming this message the user acknowledges that he does not own a valid Windows 7 license for this Maxxyz Compact and chooses to continue without the upgrade kit installed.
I thought this to be the weirdest part. But when I went into the Menu and and it read this:
Device Type: Compact Free Edition
Software Version: 3.70.885.0 (Release)
SHA-1 Build: 2268325
Operating System: COMPACT OS Version 635 (build 6.1.7601.19045)
Fixture Library Version: 06.Apr.2017I also ran the full OS update via the USB and it was the same thing. Then reverted back to 3.50 and it started as a Martin Maxxyz again with bad resolution on my Elo.
I just want to get to a normal M2GO OS 3.50 - 3.70. Some help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello,
Yesterday I bought a (demo) Behringer BCF2000.
The install of the latest versions of MPC and MPC Tools went well.

I mean by this, that is MPC the popup window with “new device added”
and a popup with the bank it controles.But, I don’t succeed to control with BCF2000 MPC.
I think I’m missed a step i the “lay-out” on the MIDI device..
I used the with MPC Tools provided .mididev file tot config. MPC tools.
But:
Is there software to upload the .syx file?
I think this is the missing link...Tnx for your help

Custom OSC Layout
@Hedsma wrote:
Hello!
So I recently started on my own OSC layout for M-PC, and I finished it yesterday so i just wanted to share it.
I made this file from scratch but i used Martin Professionals OSC layout to get all ID's for buttons, faders and etc.
Here are some pictures of my OSC layout.
Functions:
All Pages:
On all pages in the upper right corner you got your Clock, Battery, Refresh Button and your Device Space number."Main" Page:
Faders: There is 10 master faders wich corresponds to the Main Playback.
Buttons: There are 20 buttons to use with the Main Playback. The button on top of the fader inside the orange barrier is your Select button while the one under the fader is your Flash button.
If you haven't noticed there are 30 extra buttons inside the blue barrier wich are Playback buttons for Playback Page 98. All those buttons are Toggle buttons, just to keep that in mind.
Grandmaster: There is a Grandmaster fader and button, the button is a kind of flash thought it wont go back to the fader value so if you use the "Flash" button make sure you drag the fader up agian to update the fader value."Playback Buttons" Page:
Buttons: There are 76 Playback Buttons on this page. All buttons are in a toggle mode and are on Playback Page 99.
Function Buttons: There are 8 Function Buttons on this page. They are normal so assign anything for them in M-PC."Program" Page:
Keypad: There is a Keypad wich works as you expect it to do.
Parameters: (Orange) There is 4 encoder wheels to do your positions, intensity and so on with. In the upper right corner you got another box (orange) wich lets you pick what your encoders are going to do.
Effect Parameters (Blue) There are 4 other encoders above the other encoders wich are used to create effects. And agian in the upper right corner there is another box (blue) Wich lets you decide what your effect parameters are going to do.
Workspace / Layout:
If you feel like needing a 2D for the Playback Buttons I made one.
Here are the pictures of them:
So if you feel like getting those two 2D layouts they are in the downloaded folder with the OSC file.
Using the 2D:
So when you downloaded the file go to M-PC > Menu > Load-Save > Workspaces > Merge. After that pick the 2D file that you downloaded with OSC and then you left click on your sidebar and select "OSC Main" or "OSC Playback Buttons" Just make sure all numbers are corresponding to the OSC layout on your Ipad.
Download:
Google Drive: Click Here
If you need further support please ask the community, I will answer questions that are about the OSC file itself but not how to install this, there is a guide here if you need help. If this didn't help you ask the community please.
I really hope you enjoy this file and please leave suggestions if you want more functions or something.
Greetings from Sweden!

Maxxyz Compact DIY UPGRADE
@GarrettSAFMC wrote:
I have a Max.xyz Compact that is currently on windows XP and V 2.4 or something like that. We're attempting to upgrade it to V 3.6 with Windows 7, but didn't want to pay the overrated $1,000 for a couple Rams and an ssd. I called a dealer who was more than willing to give me the specs on the contents of the retrofit kit. We bought an ssd and Ram chips(Ram works great), and then we downloaded the software update/OS file from Martin and burned it to a DVD-R. At first we got some weird errors, but came to find something unplugged and bypassed the error. But now the screen sits with "Boot from CD" and nothing happens ever. We've tried priorities in the BIOS and stuff, yet there's a detail we're missing here. I have a specialist planning to call me tomorrow, but for now, I'm searching for anyone who might have some good ideas. Ask any questions for anything I may have left out, I'll reply as soon as possible with what I know.

M-PC on Windows 7 SP1
@alavon wrote:
Just a note for anyone attempting to install and run M-PC on a PC with a fresh install of Windows 7 SP1: it will crash loading unless the Windows 7 Platform Update - KB2670838 - is present on the machine. It took me a while to figure this one out as it's not part of the M-PC install package.

So is this a lost cause?? feels like a bad relationship
@Michael_Dlugos wrote:
So reading through all of the posts on this forum and well its pretty discouraging. I like my M-Touch and M-Play but the inability to have pixel mapping and lack of updates, constant problems with windows updating themselves and Martin not keeping up and fixing the problems. It just feels like I should get out and buy a GrandMa3 Node the second it comes out cause atleast they are trying to move forward with there product. If theres any information about Martin stepping up and actually giving there product a fighting chance to survive and keep us customers happy please speak up and give us a update, or else you guys can find my hardware on Ebay in about a weeks time.

M-pc bug?
@Giglight wrote:
Anyone else noticed that on minimised selection playback buttons it only puts a play symbol on the active cue on the left hand column. See pics.
When the same cues are main screen ie across the bottom of screen it displays play logo no problem so not an issue with the config of the cue itself.
