bad news it was not a one time event.. it happened again today..

it was in a sequence with regular ramps and shimmer ramps.. all in the same column .. saved my work..  closed the program.. opened it back up and some of the regular ramps changed to shimmer and the shimmer changed to regular ones.. not on all of them.. but quite a few

Ok, so the firmware on the controller is 1.14, which does support ramping shimmers.  Now, what controller firmware is selected for your channels in Aurora?  Right click in the channel area and choose open the BCE.  The device type you selected when you first set up the controller will be displayed.  Make sure it is set to D-Light ACx16 1.13+, not pre 1.13.  It is set to 1.13+, yes?

I was talking about what controller type is set in the sequence itself (the editor won't know what you actually have hooked up to the network - and if you try to issue a ramping shimmer to an older version of the firmware, it would likely ignore the command or just give a regular shimmer).  Right click on one of the channel labels and go to channel properties to see what the controller type is set to. 

When sequencing, setting a ramping shimmer to a channel on a ACx16 pre 1.13 controlller should issue a warning - I was thinking that it might not hurt to ensure that it is not set on this older type.

Onewish,

What they are referring to is what version of Firmware is present on the ACx16. It can be the older 1.12 (no ramping shimmer supported) or 1.13+ where ramping shimmer is supported. Only way to determine this is to use the D-Light hardware utility.

Also, there are three ACx16 choices in Aurora. One for pre-1.13, one for post 1.13 (just called ACx16), and one for RGB. Make certain the correct one is selected.

All the Best!

I think what Dewey was asking was what device type you have the channel set to when you pull up the channel properties dialog for for the channel?

This setting needs to match the type of controller you are using.  If it does not, then the effect will be re-rendered into something that the device type can support (the "generic" types and pre-1.13 D-Light do not support shimmer ramp for example).
