Unexpected behaviour with RGB(Virtual Dimmer) when some colour channels are cleared

[AndyY]

Ah! Same issue as detailed here:

LED Intensity and RGBW fixure individual faders

Before we get too far, I just want to mention that im no expert by any means… I’m sure there are more knowledgeable people on here, but getting them to comment can be slow. THAT BEING SAID… I think Onyx defaults all the color channels to full in the background for reasons beyond me. I have gotten around this by making a separate playback button with all color channels of all my fixtures at 0%. In the cue settings I have the “stay alive” button on. This way everything will be black while I’m pr…

LED Colors with Submasters?

Hey James, There are a few important steps to make this work: Set the default preset to have the LED’s default as color intensity (for each color) to ZERO. Record an Override fader for each color. Right click the other colors on the attributes section, and press “clear channel” before recording (so that they are NOT included in the playback - very important) [clear%20channel] This will give you that control on the virtual console, main playbacks or submasters. -David

Fix is to:

1. Set the DEFAULT for each of the fixture’s RGB channels to be zero
2. Individually store each (colour channel at 100%) plus (INTENSITY at 100%) in OVERRIDE cuelists

Sorted!
Thanks guys
