EasyStep and 'play with BPM'

Hey Guys,

I'm prepping my Sunlite 2 for the performance of a Dance school. I like to work a lot with Easytime and EasyStep, together with the sound to light feature, so the Bargraph is a well received feature in the latest version ...
I do have, however, a small issue with some LED Pars in Sunlite 2 Beta (May 5) :
When programming different easysteps to change the colors of a LedPar, it works when I play them in 'time' mode, but the shutter is closed when I switch to 'BPM' mode...
This is how the EasySteps are programmed :
- Fixture = LED PAR56B.ssl2 (JB systems LED PAR 56)
- Assign 'EasyStep Cut' to RGB Channels to play with the collors
- Assign 'On' to the Shutter channel.
When I select 'Play with the BPM', save and reopen the scene, the Shutter channel is still marked 'On', but the value is '0' resulting in the shutter to be closed

Hi freddywaters,

I can see what you´re talking about.
Seems to be a bug.
For now you can just programm the shutter channel to 255 in each step.

Keep in mind that the 5th May release is a beta version and should not be used in critical live environments.

Best Gernot

Thanks for the fast reply...

I know about the consequeces of the beta releases ... but the Audio/Bargraph is not available in the last oficial release (Jan 2011) ... I have both version on my laptop, and can switch whenever there is an issue ...

We'll have this fixed in the next beta
