Julien,
It would be great that Cuety could control the fixtures as described in the fixture manual, and it really doesn’t matter what faders controls what channel.
American DJ DOTZ TPar:
- I have tried your suggestion and used 4 seperate generic RGB Pars (with addresses 1, 4, 7 and 10). It worked perfect with the fixture in the 12 channel mode. I was able to control the 4 leds. Big disadvantage of this way of working is that I need to program all fades/patterns/… (available in the fixture’s 9 & 18 Ch modes) manually. Sound activated light effects are out of the question.
- I tried to combine the 4 generic RGB pars with the fixture in 18 Ch mode, with a (faint) hope I would be able to combine the advantages of the 4 single pars and the preprogrammed flows/programs/sound activation. As expected, the plan did not work… without any doubt an address conflict
- An absolute dream would be that the 18 Ch mode would be controllable via Ceuty. This would give the greatest flexibility, I could use the fixture in a fixed DMX 18 Ch setting for more or less static lighting problems and for mobile DJ Gigs. I suppose this will be difficult in this version of Cuety, there are only 17 faders available. (Ch16 - Dimmer curves is the least interesting, so if I would have to skip one, it would be this one ;-) )
- Control over the fixture in 9 Ch mode would already be great, usable for a mobile DJ gig. For a static lighting problem I can use the 4 separate generic RGB Pars with the fixture in 12 Ch mode.
Eurolight LED Mat-Bar 4x64:
- this is a 7 Ch fixture. In the current preprogrammed profile (checked in builder), everything looks OK. But when I try to use it in Ceuty, only 4 of the 7 channels are assigned to a fader. Ch 1, 2 & 3, which are RGB, to faders 1, 2 & 3, so far so good. The only other channel that is controllable is Ch 4 (Horizontal movement (CHLR in builder)) and it is assigned to the Custom 1 fader (second from the right)
- To use this fixture via Ceuty, I would almost say it is imperative to have the 7 channels represented in Ceuty
What is your opinion, Julien? Is this feasible or is this ‘out-of-the-ballpark’?
Thanks in advance for your advice and support!
