Wrong behavior of fixtures in/out in effects

[daniel]

I have 2 Cameo Hydra Beam 4000 with 4 moving heads in each. They are splited so that I have 8 separate fixtures patched, 7 linked. I have created some presets with circle and conductor move effects and set order to in-to-out or vice versa. When I stored the preset the fixtures were moving 4 by 4. Later they are moving 5 by 3, e.g. 5 clockwise and 3 counter-clockwise. The only change done is a small adjustment of the fixture limits with all fixtures selected.

The odd thing is if I start the move effect "from scratch" they are moving 4 by 4 for all effects. The same thing goes for beam effects. But, if I start a present they move 5 by 3, even though I go to the move effect and change values. The same thing goes for beam effects. I have some presets that goes left to right, which works. But if a manually change the order of the beam effect after starting the preset, they also act 5 by 3.

It's something in the W1 that affects the presets but not manual controls as it's seems all presets act wrong if I use any order but left to right or right to left. Anyone with a clue on what has happened and how to fix it?

1. Make sure you are running the lastest Firmware on Wolfmix (1.0.0)
2. when loading the profile and "add" 2 fixtures, you should get
* 1st line = Start Address
* 2nd line Linked
* 3rd line Linked
* 4th line Linked

then again:
* 1st line = Start Address
* 2nd line Linked
* 3rd line Linked
* 4th line Linked

If that is NOT the case - Delete the 2 instances of Hydrabeam 4000 from your project and re-patch again. Select the profile, set amount to 2, select 56Ch mode and then press add.

Thanks for your replay!

Sorry about my late comeback. The problem was, as in most cases, the user... I had to ADJ Quad Phase with rotation mapped as PAN-channels. Removed them and the Hydras were acting as expected.

One funny thing though is that I have patched the two Hydras as you write but I have only one fixture with "start address" and seven with "linked". The linked is the last line as well. I see no impact the functionality due to this.

Best regards,
Daniel

About the "Startaddress" and "linked"...

I always patch ALL fixtures first to the Group A. After loading and showing the correct Startaddress and "linked", I THEN go and reassign them to the desired Group in a 2nd step. I think (!!) Wolfmix is having problems to correctly assign "beam" separated" fixtures right away into other Groups, so you see the difference between my setup and yours. This is NOT a confirmed bug!
