	OK - Yup - nothing shows in the visulizer.. Haven't tried it on the controller itself eith thrugh playback (light bulb) or the scheduler but I think I see the same thing you do. Be nice to see it in the visulizer. Don't think I have anything on 4-16 that uses shimmer or twinkle so I wouldn't have noticed it whenI was testing.

	Create a new sequence, create one channel ..ACx16.....device 4.....channel 16 .....draw some lights on that channel Throw in some event markers....and put TWINKLE on that channel. Nothing shows up on playback when I run it.

	I believe most all my sequences where I use Twinkle or Shimmer look like they are in the visulizer. I hooked up 4 controllers and a bunchy of lights yesterday to test some display elements in my sequences. I don't use shimmer and twinkle much but where I do they all seemed to work fine. Tested my 33 sequences yesterday, other than bit of a rope light meltdown (don't run 150ft spool of incandescant on the spool - something really stupid I did, but was good excuse for me to be switching to led rope ), but all worked well Twinkles twinkled, Shimmers shimmered, ramps, both very long and very short, ramped.

	I am having the same problem with two of my channels. I have gone back through and changed them both to shimmer so at least they are doing something. I save the file and the next time I open it up it is back to twinkle and not working again. I haven't hooked up any controllers so I hope this is just a problem in the visualizer and not the actual display.

	one of my channels will not twinkle when it goes through playback. Full on, full fade, all work Timing 32.5- 38 seconds is the section on the time bar. The channel is the last on the list RIGHT WINDOW. The left window plays back fine.
