Why don the ChromaServer Program/Parameter/PanelSetting values reflect whats stored in the Chroma?
For the first Chroma attached to the circuit (at address 0) they mostly do. However, as explained in the circuit design, this is the only Chroma that can send information to the computer. Because I’m viewing Program information on the Chroma as primarily write-only, that’s OK with me – I’ll just make sure I write Programs to those other Chromas before I play them. Any discrepancies between the first Chroma and ChromaServer’s properties should be due to shortcomings in the Chroma’s computer interface. At least one of these is the surprising failure of the Chroma to transmit Panel/Performance switch On/Off commands to the computer when the corresponding Set Split 16-19 functions are punched into the Chroma manually. Thus, the computer can’t alwalys tell when these switches are flipped. I also am not getting good values from the Volume command when the Link balance is changed manually on the Chroma.
