I just installed 6 Elation Opti Tri Pars. Using 2 for a color wash, and have them in 4-channel (R, G, B, Intensity) mode, and 4 of them for a general wash, and we have them in 2 channel mode (Color Macro, Intensity). I put a gel in front of the general wash lights to make them a little warmer. I opted for the 2-channel/gel method for the wash lights because I only have 12 channels on my board.
For the general wash, we put the faders all the way up, and it seems to work fine. But, if you use the master fader to fade the lights down, the general wash LEDs cycle through the color macros as they fade out.
How is this problem usually solved? Is it a matter of having a fancier board that lets you program a fader as a new master, that controls just the intensity faders?
Even if we had more channels on our board (and we could go into 24 channel mode), using the master fader would still pull down the R G B channels for the lights, changing the light color as the light fades down. What am I missing?
