I see now the switches may be internal. We sadly can't access the fixtures to check channels (8x Euroline LED pars in two banks and 2 Mac 300s) so looking at the dimmer channels may give us an idea where to start patching.We've tried patching the first bank of pars from channel 1 (in both...

Are we missing something when looking for dip switches on this unit?We're trying to help a school at last minute before a performance.They have lost their magic Q setup.

Thanks for looking. I dread to think how many times I've gone through that manual now! Sometimes certain functions only seem to work after repeating a step two or three times which does seem odd. I think the Desk has seen better days.I wouldn't feel so bad if I was running the show myself but...

It's all individual scenes. There's about 16 'states' for the whole play.

Things seem to be coming along and they've thankfully fixed most of the addressing issues. However, I'm now having a hard time editing/deleting scenes on the Showmaster.I'm able to record a scene but when I go back to try and delete it (select page> hold edit button> double tap scene flash...

This is good to know for the future, thanks.Yes, we do have the manual on hand. There was just conflicting information in one of the YT video guides and it's comments. Perhaps they were confused with double preset mode, as in the manual it states you can't record scenes there.

I did get some kind offers of help in the end so hopefully we have a lifeline if they're still stuck.If I could just clarify something about the Showmaster? Am I right in thinking when all 48 channels are assigned to fixtures I would be unable program scenes to the bottom row, and they'd...

That's really very helpful, thank you Les for going through all that.Slightly concerning responses from the Blue Room regarding safety/insurance etc. Apparently the dimmer setup looks a bit worrying and I shouldn't be messing with any of this.I'm thinking during pat testing the fixtures were...

Good idea. I did see a laptop sitting in the booth actually and was thinking about recommending MagicQ as I've had a play with the software at home. Maybe Nomad could be a better option.It might be more appealing to the students as well. Kids these days have no fear of software and they could...

That's kind of you to think like that guys. I'll get on to the blue room. I'm really only the secondary guy who they brought along, so I've no idea of budget. I'm guessing there isn't much. This is all a learning process and it feels like a month could be cutting it short with a production...

Thanks again guys for all of that. Every bit of extra information helps at this stage. I will definately check out the blue room for some local knowledge (I'm located between Salisbury and Bournemouth).I must have been mistaken about the dimmers actually powering the LEDs and instead they're...

Thanks for the rapid response Stradivarius. I really want to come through for these guys and appreciate the help.Just to clarify... The Dimmer packs do have digital displays, so no confusion setting a binary address with switches, thankfully.Good to know it's probably 4 channels for the...

We've been asked to help a School re-connect the lighting in their Theatre and we're struggling to address the dimmer packs correctly. They've lost their previous tech guy and all the lights were disconnected for testing, so we've been working pretty much from scratch to get it all back up and...
