Grand Master behavior erratic in 1.3.0

[dsiders]

After upgrading to D-Pro 1.3.0, I am seeing an erratic behavior when using the Grand Master fader on Show Control. Using the Grand Master causes the color wheels on one of my fixtures to rotate during the dimming process. It does dim and brighten as expected, but the color wheel rotates too. The fixture has both a Colour channel and a Dimmer channel defined for the light. I did not see this with 1.2.X, but I thought it could be an error in the fixture definition (since I created it on fixtures.dmxis.com)

Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Thanks in advance.

Don,

In 1.3.0, any channels of type "dimmer" or "colour" will respond to Grand Master changes. This is to allow dimming of RGB fixtures which have no dedicated dimmer channel.

To fix the problem in this case, just go back into fixtures.dmxis.com and define the colour wheel as a "Control" channel. Then reimport your fixture into D-Pro from the patch window.

Dave.

Thanks, Dave. I had my suspicions that this might be the case.

Done. Thanks again.
