Rekordbox Lighting with ADJ Pocket Pro Question

I just got a pair of ADJ Pocket Pros and the Rekordbox RB-DMX1 box. When the lights are running with the built in macros both lights are only running on one side 180 degrees - the right side as your looking at the front with the display.

Initial position is set to straight up.

I've tried running in 11 channel, 13 channel, Moving Head 1/2, and Moving Head (Simple) 1/2.

Why won't my lights scan the entire 360 range?

Things to check...

- that they function properly when non-DMX'd in a macro mode

- that another DMX application allows them to move in their full expected operation range

- that the assigned DMX address in software matches the address on the hardware

- that the movement pattern in the macro does indeed occupy the full operation range of the fixture

Yes. Lights run full range in the sound active and show modes.

- that another DMX application allows them to move in their full expected operation range
Unable to test. I do not have another DMX software program nor interface box.

- that the assigned DMX address in software matches the address on the hardware
Yes.

- that the movement pattern in the macro does indeed occupy the full operation range of the fixture
The macro pattern is the default "line". The lights are following this pattern, but instead of drawing a line in front (front being the side with the display) the light is drawing a line on the right. How do I set the range to be the "front" and not the "right"?

Try changing the shape to a circle for testing purposes and see if that allows full range of movement.

I went in and looked at the macro settings. The defaults are just a small line on the right side. When I change the numbers in the boxes I can get it to scan the entire length. I can also change to a circle and get the proper scanning range.

Is there a way to bulk edit the macros, or do I have to edit each scene for both lights one by one?

If you edit the macros themselves, any song they're used will be updated to that new macro design. That's about as "bulk" as it gets.

I wonder why the default macro setting has the light movement only in the upper right quadrant?
