7.33 Help and Hints
Problem : Programmed Chase does not replay.
Solution : Replay a Memory, then try replaying the Chase. (This was a bug
in some software versions.)
Problem : ADD buttons will not step on a Chase.
Solution : On the Sapphire, they may have been disabled. User Setting 11
will allow you to re-enable them.
Problem : Chase does not replay after programming.
Solution : Press the CLEAR button, or turn the Key to Run.
Problem : Programmed Chases have disappeared.
Solution : Check that you are on the correct Roller Page.
Problem : Some HTP Channels do not replay.
Solution : Check that they have not been reduced in the Reduction bank.
See Section 9.5 Reduction Faders.
Problem : Some Channels on Moving Lights do not replay.
Solution : They probably have not been recorded. If you are using Record
by CHANNEL then you must edit each Channel that is to be recorded to put
it in the Programmer. This means that you must access each one and do
something to it, even if it is only reasserting the level it is currently at. See
Section 6.1 Recording Modes.
Problem : The Presets, Wheel and Tablet do not output to the stage.
Playbacks work correctly.
Solution : Check you have not selected BLIND mode.
7.33.1 DMX limitations on Chase Speeds
The following text explains why only some BPM rates are allowed, particularly
at very fast BPM.
Given that every step of a sequence MUST be output (otherwise some critical
information may not get to a Fixture), the fastest Chase speed in BPM is
determined by the DMX refresh rate.
The maximum theoretical DMX refresh rate is 44 times a second or 2640
times a minute. In practice this is not normally met, and on the Sapphire and
Pearl a speed of 2400 can be achieved. That is to say that on every DMX
refresh cycle a new step will be output.
