4. Jamming occurs when 2 or more sequences are trying to control the same lights at the same time You might not have realised that you told the sequence editor to store this other light fixture scene data but you probably did as have done many times Looked at another way Sequence 1 has info for primarily Light 1 but has managed to also picked up settings for light 2 which isn t needed Sequence 2 has info for Light 2 primarily but also picked settings for light 1 The two sequences when played together clash or Jam against each other because both are trying to force commands at the same time Ofcourse there can only be one command sent to a light at any one time The way the lights deal with two commands being sent at once is to either go with one command or to not change light fixture settings at all Go out of Multisequence player back to Sequence Editor the main screen Select V T editor Now select the SEQUENCE that has the jamming problem do the other jamming sequence later using this same method Select the light fixtures that aren t the ones you want playing in this sequence One by go through the channel info click your mouse on ie 1 pan 2 tilt 3 gobo etc If you see coloured channel info in the right hand data screen then you need to get rid of that data That data is causing the jam The easiest way to do this is to highlight the time bar say scene 1 then scroll over to the last scene
