Hi Guys,
I was wondering, After you have created a chase on an ion and assigned it to a fader on one of there universal wings is there any way the fader can control the intensity of the effect rather than just using the bump button?

Thank you

If memory serves there are 2 'bump' buttons under each fader, one should start the fx running and 1 bumps the effect to full. If you hit the one bump button (I think its the lower one) the effect should start and you can then control the intensity with the fader.

Does the alex have an Ion now then? smile.gif

It's worth noting that questions regarding ETC desks, while probably getting helpful answers here (I do believe that one BR member works for ETC), may also be worth posting over at the ETC forums - we've had really speedy answers to our Ion questions over there.

Well you can set the bump button to flash the effect at 100% or toggle run/stop running again at 100% in the menu, but the fader has no effect either way.

you are correct the Alex now has an ion(as well as a few other recent upgrades). Have you been to the Alex before?

The fader type must be effectSub and the choice of size or speed being controlled is set by the entry type of the effect.
See page 243 of the V1.7 manual for the details.

Not for work, but to watch things. Glad you got it sorted smile.gif
