Hi,

This is my first experience with moving heads. My Virtual Console contains an XY Pad and a Cue List. The cue list contains scenes with the same fixture connected to the
XY Pad. It seems that when I press the play button, the XY Pad takes precedence, and the head goes to the last position set in the XY Pad. Then, when I start the cue list, the first scene in the cue list that moves the head is ignored. But not the identical scene several cues later. I thought maybe it had something to do with HTP/LTP, but that doesn't explain why the first scene doesn't work, but the subsequent scene does. Any ideas?

It seems like the cue list, and any other widget are mutually exclusive? I tried a slider as well.

Thanks,

Howie

Howie, at a first, hunch, you re-apply the same scenes inside your chaser - setting (calling) the same scenes again? This is bad: one will set/reset your chaser...
Send in your project-file and we'll sort it out.

The cue list contains scenes with the same fixture connected to the XY Pad.

I suggest not to use a Cue List for Moving Head Positions, but use a (second) XY pad instead.
