knightdan65 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hi. Working in EOS Nomad. Patch is 1 - 1. All lights responding to command line but no response to the virtual faders. What do I need to do to get the fader page talking to the channels? Thanks,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRW Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Have you actually loaded something onto a fader? Note, a fader is different to a submaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightdan65 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 If I hit the tab above a fader it says load and the tabs below say group/assert and bump. Not sure how to link a fader to a channel. I’m assuming the faders page is for channel control and not subs? Further digging has revealed that faders can’t be mapped to intensity channels in Nomad, which seems daft. Anyone know of a work around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Faders need to be mapped to something - could be a submaster (which could be a single channel) could be a cue stack, could be an effect control, could be a macro ... On a real universal fader wing you can map the faders one to one to the channels by (if I recall correctly) holding the fader control key down and then hitting the bump on the bottom right fader when it prompts. But until mapped, the faders don't do anything, Not sure if you can do that on virtual faders, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightdan65 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Yes looks like if I want simple intensity control of genetics using faders I have to assign each individual light as a sub then map the faders to them one by one. Does anyone else think this is a massively unintuitive move by ETC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Control of Genetics using faders? I'm just going to turn the "Heart Disease" fader down a bit. :** laughs out loud **: The EOS software is designed for situations where fader-per-channel is likely bit too...simple. You maybe should reboot in EOS Element and put it in channel mode rather than submaster mode. I think that gets you the functionality you're looking for.

Does anyone else think this is a massively unintuitive move by ETC? Its really not un-intuitive when you realise that you can assign multiple generics to one fader/submaster. You might do this, for example, when you have colour washes made up from several lamps per colour. One submaster would then control one colour, not just one lamp. Indeed, this is how you'd busk a simple show. Groups of generics for your washes would be on some submasters, while individual lamps for your performer specials would be on others. But as Bryson has already said, switch the software to Element mode to get true one lamp/one submaster control over your fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
