1 Year and 3 Months and Counting Waiting For Full Midi

[Jethrobowdean]

I am not getting ANY, NO stacking whatsoever !!!! Whether manual or through MIDI I cannot get any baseline preset to stay in part or full the moment I introduce another (stacking) preset. I get ONE, MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE preset at a time !!!!! What is up?

You can not really stack two presets in a way, that you have 2 active ones in parallel. As you also have it e.g with static colors and color FX, always the last one counts. This means, if you active a preset with just color or just movement, it will always be the only active one. It just not sets all parameters, but the just the one which are saved in the preset. This meinst e.g. if you aktivate a preset, which have just stored the movements, than it will apply these movements, but Keep the colors and beat FX from the previous preset. These will stay until you active a preset which have stored color or Beat setting.

In Theory this is a quite handy and smart approach, but I haven't tested this function enough to confirm that it works well or if the FX are too related to each other to combine them randomly.

Sorry I may have not been adequately articulate in my description of the problem that I am having. If I understand what you are saying correctly I believe that you are saying that a preset that follows another preset will only overwrite, so to say, the dmx values that it explicitly sets a value for and leave any dmx channels with their existing values as they were unless specifically addressed in the new preset. If that is what you are saying that is also what I was expecting but not what I am experiencing. Is there some general setting that needs to be set to allow a new preset to not override everything in the previous preset but only the new values for the dmx channels that it is specifically addressing?

Yes, this should be the case, if the new actviated preset is Not including all 3 Feature Types (Color, Move & Beat). Otherwise it overrides off course all settings.
Honestly, I haven‘t used that function that intensive yet as I focussed more on other new Features, but of course it is possible that it has some bugs.

Is there someone from Wolfmix who can comment on this?

Hi Jethro,

This is best demonstrated in our in our FW 2.0 introduction video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV02rAw ... el=Wolfmix (skip to around 4:00 minutes).

Essentially, each preset now allows you to store in it any combination of 'Colour', 'Move', or 'Beam' controls. This means for example that you can now be running a standard Preset that contains all of these functions, then quickly change the Colour without effecting the Move or Beam settings. You can then trigger a new Preset that only recalls the 'Move' functions for example (meaning you are now seeing the 'Colour' from one Preset, the 'Move' from another, and the 'Beam' from the original running preset).
