Pan and tilt limits issue

At the time of writing (rekordbox V7.0.8 2025-01) the moving head pan and tilt setup is not right. Most of the pre-programmed lighting scenes have the pan and tilt effects only occurring in half of the the top right square of the overall movement range (but not all of them!). My guess is this was an early fix to the issue of most moving heads having massive movement ranges, before rekordbox added in the ability to set pan and tilt limits. The problem is, now that there are pan and tilt limits, their operation is extremely confusing because of all the scenes not having movement over the entire 0-255 range. When you are setting the limitted range you are setting the range that will be used for the whole 0-255 of pan and tilt by the pattern setup in a programmed scene. You either have to just allow for that, and set the limit range much bigger than will actually get used, or you’d need to go in and change the programming in every scene that uses moving heads……for all 4 or 2 of the moving heads fixtures you are using! No small task…

Pan and tilt home position

At the time of writing (rekordbox V7.0.8 2025-01) the moving head pan and tilt home position can be set but doesn’t appear to be used (at least it isn’t for my moving heads). When a scene isn’t using them they return back to DMX level 0,0 which is a massive movement on my heads! Very annoying, only soloution seems to be to add them doing a pattern to every scene and jus have them not turning on.
