Control/Dimming Chauvet Reve E-3

[Crisp image]

Good Afternoon all,
I have a whole bunch of Chauvet Reve E-3 in a venue that I am working. We have them connected up in 14ch2 mode and the console is an ECT GIO running the latest software (3.1.5 I think)
what we have found is when recorded to a sub and we snap the sub up to full the fixture will fade up over time and not snap up. If we bump it on the bump button it flashes to full in an instant.
The dimming curves are turned off on the fixtures. How can we make these fixtures snap up without using the bump button?
They are only new (I unboxed some a few weeks ago) however they may have been sitting there for some time.
Looking forward to your suggestions.
Regards
Geoff

Is there a default fade time when you programmed the submaster?

ETC’s profile of that fixture has several bugs. I’m planning on talking to them about it on the show floor at LDI.

New show file with nothing recorded. Chan 1 on sub 1 does this. No timing recorded

Oh that is interesting. I will have a look at the profile when I get a chance and see if I can see if there is something there that can be changed.

You say the dimming curves inside the fixtures are disabled.

Isn't there a dimming curve *inside the desk too*, probably channel by channel?

That seems a more likely candidate for "snap breaks but bump does not", to me...

bump snaps to full but push the handle up fast and then sit back and wait for it to fade up.

If you turn the light on in a time of 0.1 using sneak does it fade or snap?

A lot of lights now have smoothing algorithms in them.

Don't know. Will test later this week and report.

So I don’t know if it will address this specific issue but ETC assured me that the Mint LED problem I’m having is corrected in the next software release, in, wait for it, end of January. However, if you feel like running in beta, there should be an open beta of that software soon.

I had a similar problem with my mini-movers (Inno Pocket-Z's). When assigned to 0-count cues, they still fade on or off. I could only get one to "snap" off by making a cue that closes the shutters

As of the current EOS release, at least color has been fixed for the Reve 3,

3.1.5 b8?

3.1.5 build 8 fixture library is correct, the lime chip now works.
