Aubrey Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I have a pair of MArtin 812's that I'm controlling with a Stairville DMX Master I.(This is for a small touring band's lighting and they are working to a small budget...)I can set the Stairville to do everything I want - BUT - pan and tilt of the mirrors can only be acheived by using the faders and not the joystick. Using the joystick seems to have no effect.I would like to be able to use the joystick to control the mirrors in manual mode to act as a sort of mini follow spot when the singer is talking and wandering around the the stage between songs - without the joystick this is not possible.Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing something wrong? Do I need to set up the Stairville somehow? Also Does anyone know if I can use a standard midi footswitch controller to change patches on the Stairville? Thanks in advance...

david.elsbury Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I don't know the Stairville itself, but is it possible that you need to load/use a particular "profile" on the controller to tell it to assign pan and tilt to the joystick? I would have thought that the manual should go through assigning a moving light to the controller. And I wouldn't hold out too much hope for the followspot effect. There's quite a few threads on here about how people have tried the same thing, and the general consensus is that it's pretty hard to control, with not a great deal of accuracy. But don't let that stop you :( David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
