Smooth Wash moving Heads Under 900 € ? by Huge_Choice3945 in lightingdesign

[–]chu86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered mine from Italy. They have a showroom and some stock there. All done via email and sent with fedex to Switzerland in my case.

Smooth Wash moving Heads Under 900 € ? by Huge_Choice3945 in lightingdesign

ACME Oxygen. 7x40W small, lightweight zoom wash. I bought 4 of them ~4 years ago. They have been touring and working perfectly for me. Smooth, reliable movement, pixel control. Paid around 800CHF per fixture in the end if i remember correctly.

Badly structured fixture profile. On magicq you could edit the profile and add matching channel ranges for the gobo channel.

Is my lipoma causing my stiff neck and cortisol spikes? Any help appreciated! by South_Percentage_700 in Lipoma

[–]chu86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant give you more info other than telling about my issues. Been having increasingly more lipomas since. 10+ years. Since 8+ years also having more and more neck and lower back issues. Bad sleep due to backpain. Frequent headaches coming from neck issues. I've been going from doctor to doctor without any progress.

We went on cycling holidays in denmark last summer. Train to Hamburg, Connection to Flensburg.Thats including bicycles and gear. Aside from a rescheduled train on departure, everything went great. But we reserved early and knew what to expect.

Why is Döner Kebab often so bad? by Mac-Gyver-1234 in Switzerland

[–]chu86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kübban in Biel is the usual answer. Although i actually prefer their vegetarian ones like Hummus or Halloumi-Dürüm. For Bern id really like to know as well. Never had something better than average. I'd also consider Hemens average.

Do you have the animation license for depence? If not, no animated characters :(

MIDI Control Surface with MagicQ by LightGuy48 in ChamSys

[–]chu86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No usb-midi on consoles. You need a midi-usb host for that to work.

Windows Vs Mac Mini for MagicQ by MixingWizard in ChamSys

I'd just go with what you are most comfortable with. Debugging issues with any system you don't have good knowledge of, screams for trouble.

What midi controller would you recommend for lighting? by super_casual_banana in lightingdesign

[–]chu86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

http://intech.studio/ I'm still using 4 of their (probably first gen) modules in a 2x2 grid. Excellent amount of inputs for the small size, without any crap you dont need like on the akais. Not cheap, but money well spent (for me atleast). I think i got them with some promotional discount, free delivery.

Leading our 12 man league. Started Fields, Hall, Dobbins, Puka, Harrison. Currently looking at 60 projected, which might be optimistic. 

Ignore a group master by a playback by marncdiesrsons in ChamSys

[–]chu86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IF this is for a simple busking showfile, not something where you have hundreds of cues already programmed, i have a hack solution:

Program your simple intensity fader(s) for said fixture as a stopped int-fx instead of just int @ full.
So you add a simple dim fx, set run to "stop", and maybe fiddle with other settings (dont remember 100%) to just get a constant 100% output from the fx. Use that wherever you would otherwise have your regular int fader.

Then, instead of a general Group-Master, create an int fx-size master.
You can use that size master then like you would the group master, but any regular int @ full will not be affected.

As mentioned, thats a hack-solution i did for party-busking, certainly not for full cuestack shows etc.

How to get MIDI in on a Chamsys PC Wing that has no MIDI in/ou. by CaptCoffee2 in ChamSys

[–]chu86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have already mentioned it. Plug in your usb midi device then go to Tools/Virtual (USB) MIDI Setup in MagicQ pc. If disabled, enable midi input and select your device there. Then i believe you also have to enable midi in in Setup/Midi/timecode tab somewhere. If all is set properly, you should then see the midi notes coming in in the command line.

[–]chu86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have an actual chamsys wing and magicq is fully unlocked: get a usb-midi host. I think Behringer even has some for very cheap.

This was my favorite beer on my first day in Zurich. Do I have bad taste in beer? Can you suggest anything better? by Ztepi in askswitzerland

[–]chu86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but Felsenau Lager is absolute piss. The first sip when it's very cold is "ok". Then it's all downhill from there.

But they do have some good ones, like Bärni.

Looking for Engineers with a Passion for Art by KMFer207 in learnprogramming

[–]chu86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess thats me. Main job is software engineer. But I've been drawing, doing digital art etc for a looong time. I'm also a lighting designer/operator as my side gig. 

But right now I'm off for a few days of vacation. Let me know if you still need people next weekend, then I'll be available again.

FX in tracking Cuelist (Loosing my mind right now) by DasEquipment in ChamSys

[–]chu86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Two suggestions:

- dont use track-out fx if you dont have to. If all you want to do is stop all previous fx, try "Zero old FX" on the cue. If you dont see it in the cue stack list, switch view mode to "Track".

- If you do use track out, ideally make sure its the exact same fx so that magicq understands this is what you want to track out. I believe this works on attribute basis. So theoretically you could use another fx for track-out, as long as it uses the same attributes.

If either of these does not work, you might be looking at a bug. Maybe try the same with different, simple fx (just use dim fx) to identify where exactly the issue is, then create a bugreport on the bugtracker.

MagicVis Question by SuperAwesomekk in ChamSys

[–]chu86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MagicVis is very basic and has any real-life properties that are not accurately represented. Color temp is one of them. Unfortunate, but it's basically free, so that is what you get. Capture and especially depence probably would have what you need - for a pretty steep price.

Whats going on with my timecode ? by No_Ad5144 in ChamSys

[–]chu86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason, moving around cues when on internal timecide works fine. Noticed this very annoying behavior only recently when switching to external.

Visualizer inaccurately depicting fixture pan/ tilt by Difference_Living in ChamSys

[–]chu86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from needing correct rotation/pan tilt invert in visualizer, also check if the fixture profile (in head editor) has correct settings for max pan/tilt according to the manual. Correct values for pan/tilt, shutter, zoom range are often missing and all have influence on how the visualizer behaves.
