They acknowledge that this is undesired behaviour in the scenario that your fysical fader has a dimmer function. Due to the 100%, you can never start the first cue in the list without the dimmer going to full. First you need bring the fader to full, then bring it back to 0 and the 100% becomes 0%. Only then, you can give a GO (start first cue in the cuelist and use the fader to control the dimmer).
On Start-Up all Cue's are off and have to get a GO, so you have to pull down the faders to initiate a GO commando.
We have 40 pages in a show and each page has some 8 cuelists. Before the show, we need to:
1) go to every page and
2) touch every fader that has a cuelist attached to bring the 100% back to 0%
Only then we can run a show and use the GO buttons for the cuelists. This is unworkable and this issue needs be be fixed in the next release.
Please note that not a single setting (like auto start or whatever) will solve this problem. It is designed behaviour but it is very undesired (at least for theater purposes where a fader in fact is always the dimmer channel for the corresponding cuelist.).
And no, the desk does not remember the last fader position at shutdown.
And yes, the cues are off at shutdown, but the 'intentsity' is set to 100% at startup, regardless of the fader position.
Can somebody keep us posted on the progress on this issue? This behaviour is really annoying in our case. Thanks
