I ran into something this weekend. After doing a show for 2 hours... I ran a replay and the fill channel of the fast forward never fired. After trouble shooting a bit I found that that the lance A channel was off. after turning it back on it ran fine the rest of the show, has anyone ever seen this issue? I had a 3k, lance (device 2) and fast forward.

Yep, cleared all registers. I know that I did that because after I marked the first effect I realized I forgot, so I did it then.

Greg, did you clear all registers before you started building your show? If not maybe you recalled a register where channel B was the only channel selected. Of course, since it is a microprocessor controlled device anything is possible.

Bill, I believe I had ganged all the registers I used, however I may have forgotten one. I did run the effect several times prior to and everything was fine. My guess it was OE because once I re-enabled the channel everything ran fine the rest of the night. greg

Hi Mike - yes, gang data gets copied along with in/out times, clip names, and speed data. (Almost no one uses speed data - that allows a variable speed to be recalled when the register is recalled. This is then the speed that the machine will run at if you send it a VAR PLAY trigger).

Bill, just to satisfy my mind, IF I gang channels A and B on say register 121 and then copy that register to 15, does the copy also copy the gang data from channel 121 to 15?

Hi Greg, Did you have the 'gang' or channel enable configuration stored in the TDC registers you were using? If you haven't explicitly stored this channel enable info, there might have been old gang information one of your registers which when recalled turned channel A off. If you hold down A and B, and press SET on the keypad, the TDC will capture that config to the current register, and will make sure channels A and B are enabled every time you recall that register. If nothing is explicitly stored, the TDC will leave the channel enable config alone, so if somehow A gets turned off it won't turn it back on. Explicitly storing gang information is good insurance that each register will operate the machine channels you want. Hope that helps.... Bill Lance
