  • Hello,

    I'm probably not using DMXC (3.2.3 and 3.3.0 RC1) as usual but I'm a little bit surprised by a behavior:

    • I assigned to the Dimmer property of a device the value of ParameterMaster 1:

    • It allows me to control dimmer by a MIDI fader (MIDI fader is linked to Parameter Master 1 Fader value in Input assignment module)
    • I save the project, I close DMXC and reopen and ...
    • Dimmer value is now 0, "{ParameterMaster 1}" is lost.

    Assigning "{ParameterMaster x}" to a property seems to be lost by the save process, at least for direct property value.

    My goal is to assign a MIDI fader to a dimmer property. I found an alternate by using Programmer object in Input assignment but it's "more complex".

    Is it a "normal behavior" or I'm misunderstanding ? Thanks

  • You need to save that into a normal cue and execute afterwards the related cuelist.

    Just adding any master to the device control, with them also these values a come temporally to the programmer, is only possible for the current session of DMXC 3. After restart, the programmer is cleared - the same, if you would have type in a value manually.
