    So in my grand quest of light show dominance I begin... and stumble lol

    The issue: I can't seem to get my banks to fire separately.

    The Setup - Laptop going to a USB Enttec Open going to a dimmer relay. The dimmer relay is broken into two banks, (1,2) and (3,4). The initial DMX channel is addres 1 and as such the display on the dimmer is A001 and CH value is set to 2, hence the two banks.

    VSA - Track 0 and track 1 are both configured the same except track 0 starts at 0 and goes to 100f and track 1 starts at 100f and goes to 200f. Essentially I'm trying to roll from bank 1 to bank 2. Problem is that they both fire despite my configuration. Here's where it gets odd... I move track 0 to start at 200f and the lights still turn on from 0 to 100f

    Track 0 is address 0 in VSA and track 1 is address 1

    I've also tried pulse and linear bars.

    Any thoughts?

    Hi Grim,

    What do you have set as the 'default' values for Track 0 & 1 in VSA Settings? This value will always get sent at the start of any routine.

    Well after refusing to give up I figured out my issue. Turns out it was "state"

    For anyone new to this and reading for the first time, don't forget state. My issue was that my default value was set at 255 instead of 1. This would explain why everything would be on when I started and why it wouldn't turn off when I finished.
