same Problem here 

It only works in the default Stage

So .. I also have a problem with the Chauvet Intimidator Spot LED 150.

I received the unit today, updated it and brought it into the lab with a selection of fixtures to test with:

Chauvet Intimidator Spot LED 150 moving head

Blizzard Flurry 5 moving head

Venue ThinPar 64

The Intiidator 150 moves quite a bit to the music, but the light will not come on. If you go in and set the Dimmer to a value of 4, it comes on and stays on .. white. If you set the Color (Colour) Wheel to 255 and Dimmer to 255, it goes nuts all the time and you can't get it to black out (makes sense, as you have it manually set to be on all the time). I have also tried other (Built In) Intimidator movers with similar channel assignments to see if one of those worked .. nothing yet.

I also have the Blizzard Flurry 5. In 8 channel mode, it barely responds. It moves alot, but very little light. In 13 channel mode, it's better .. but I think it could still be better. I was catching the drums (tapping Blinder) better than the unit was.

I have tested the Venue ThinPar 64 and while they come on, I'm not impressed by their action just yet, I have not tested any other fixtures at this point.

Thank you. I will reach out to support. I appreciate the response.

Otherwise, feel free to post your stage and we can have a look.

I had created a new stage and added fixtures to that stage. Nothing. I decided to add fixtures to the default stage and boom. Music would engage the lights however. I’m can’t get my movers to work. I had to create a fixture profile for Chauvert intimidator spot 155 and they will not work. Any ideas on that?

I had no issues getting mine to work.  I don't have the UI to look at right now, but you need to poke around in Show Control I think?  There's two ways you can go, "Live" and something else... the something else has like play, stop, etc, buttons like on a tape recorder.  The live one reacts to music, the other one just goes if you hit the play button.  If you have your stage and show set up properly you should be able to get it running.  If not, Gabrielle from Limbic is doing regular office hours, you should see if she can walk you through it. Maestro is awesome.

I figured out the issue.  i had created another stage in addition to the default stage.  When I created fixtures in the default stage the lights react to the music.  So that is solved.  Not sure why after you load the stage you create lights do not respond.  Maybe a bug unless I did something wrong.  I am not having much luck with my movers at this point.  I had to create a custom profile for chauvet initmidator spot 155 and it doesn't seem to wanna work.  Not sure.  I will keep messing around and post any updates.
