Hello new user here,
We want to use the Driving Mode BPM to sync the Steps of our Scenes to the BPM. The BPM light is in sync, but the light-icons are not blinking in sync. Sometimes they are, sometimes they are not. We thought it might be a problem of the software internally so we bought the dvc fun, to see if it follows the correct bpm, however it does not. It is irregular and it does not follow the BPM light. Also the actual fixtures do not fully match the blinking of the light icons. The only thing that was in sync was the light icons with the 3d Visualiser (but also not to the BPM light).
What do we do? Is there a fix?
Kind regards
Lukas & Yorck

Hello,
If you are using Steps for your scene, the number of steps need to be in a power of 2 for correct bpm syncing to happen, ie, 2 steps, 4 steps, 8,16,32,64. if your number of steps is not one of those, "the math" or something xD doesn't work out and it wont sync. once you have the effect all planned out for the number of steps you want to use, you can adjust how its divided on bpm using the "Beat Division" "/2 , x2" modifiers to adjust steps hitting on quarter notes, eight notes, 16th, etc..
