At times, on some songs, with Aurora or Borialis, the first command recieved by all controllers. We were testing tonight with a 4 sequnce loop in borialis, and the first song is out THX intro... The firat ramp wasn't always initiated. When the command wasn't executed, it was always the entire contoller, and not a single channel.
The network has not been terminated yet.
Dual networks mostly setup. 6 ACx16s on Net1, 2 on Net2.
Once, not a single controller picked up the first command at all. It was very odd. Most of the loops everything worked correctly though???
Anyone else have oddites like that?
Also, I did notice the same behavier with 2 contollers on a single network on the tablet and a burnin sequence. On the start of a very few loops, the first command wasn't picked up. ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!

Spectrum used to do that a lot. I simply stopped using the first cell, and as a matter of habit I still do that with Aurora. Try making a new event marker and skip the first one. ------------- ~Jonathan |

That's not a bad idea. ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!

Just a note... on "heavier" sequences (e.g. 20,000+ events), 1.0.41 had a bug where heartbeat would not be established promptly which would result in some controllers missing events in the first 1/4 second of a sequence.
This was corrected (mostly) in 1.0.69.
It is still impossible to put an event in the first cell, but the time delay is on the order of a few milliseconds now instead of near 1/4 second. An upcoming version will remove the glitch entirely, including allowing placement in the first cell. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

Got it.... I know we're over 20,000 on a few this year.Well, cool. It's known and already being fixed. ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!

I have one that I'm working on that I've only sequenced just over 1 minute out of 5:45... and already have 20k. Yes, I really am trying to saturate two networks... makes for great Aurora testing.

Yiikes,
I hit 90 K + in at least two sequences myself.

Yea, okay. So I'm still missing the command on half of the controllers in the THX intro. I know that didn't happen last year at all. I also don't think it's a firmware thing since last year's 1.15beta is missing the commands still.
Anything else that I can try to get the first command to pick up? ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!

Edit the audio so it's got one second of silence at the beginning. Then do a time shift for 1000 milliseconds later. Then leave the first cell blank.

No problem.
So it needs one second, that's the official number? ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!

Yes. And if you pass this message along to five friend within one day, close your eyes and make it wish, it will come true. OMG I tried it and this totally works! If you don't then you will have bad luck forever and a ghost will visit you in your bedroom tonight. Sorry, couldn't resist.  Ok seriously, no, it doesn't matter. One second just gives you plenty of time; overkill, really. You could do 1/2 of a second and then shift 500 ms over, or do 2/3 of a second and shift 666 ms over. Whatever. I tend to edit in about half a second myself. Any longer and the delay starts to make me feel like something has gone wrong. ------------- ~Jonathan |
