He guys,
I was working on programming some basic cues (or sequences as they're called in Cobalt software) for my upcoming musical, Chicago. The director wants some lighting effects of just a general buildup of brightness through a dance number ending in essentially a RemDim of some red back lighting.
While I was running the sequences today I was having issues with getting the response time up to something that would have a decent visual effect. I tested to see if it was simply that I'm using old fixtures and their cooling time is long on the lamps, but it isn't. I did this by assigning the channels to master sliders on the attached fader wing and just manually moving the sliders.
Of course this means that I could just manually control the effect with the faders, although I would much prefer to have the effect run through the sequences if possible. I did try writing, editing, and completely rewriting the sequences with overriding the in/out times to 0 and it still was significantly slower than using the faders.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
