Clear Button on Ion....

[NewRecourse]

I have a latest and greatest version of Software on an Ion Console. HOWEVER, it has a weird setup feature and I can't figure it out.

If you hit the clear button, it will take out any channels you have up. For instance:

Channel 100 @ FULL ENTER (Channel 100 is at full)
PRESS CLEAR = Channel fades out over 3 seconds.

Or - if I have Channel 100 at Full, and start typing something else - and need to 'backstage' - I hit clear a few too many times, and it takes out my Channel 100.

WHAT IS THIS?!?! I cannot find any topic online or in the manual or in control booth that has this. HELP a poor boy stuck in the middle of Minnesota, out of his native land while working on a Gig!

That's not at all what clear is supposed to do. I'd try a deep clear and see if that helps. Be sure to save your show file prior to performing a deep clear.

What software version are you running?
Does it only happen with channel 100?

I can see why the first one could happen

CH XX @ FL it releases control of that CH then by hitting enter again it captures it then hitting clear will drop it to 00s

Also this is my working it from an expression 3 console but capture from my understanding has been pretty standard across the board.


The second way you are making this happen you got me.

I would call them just to be safe, doesn't cost you anything but time.

Not on an Eos Series console - Pushing clear will not change values it only deals with clearing the command line.

Indeed "Clear" should be clearing out the command line...

From your description is Channel 100 the only one that "sneaks" out when you press "Clear" like this?

When you put up an address manually on EOS, if you clear the command line it will sneak back to 0. Is it possible that you have accidentally configured the console to do this with channels? Out of curiosity, what happens if you manually raise an address and hit "clear"?
