Hi,

I created a personality file for a Mac Viper Performance in VBuilder and exported to Quety.
When patching the fixture in Quety DMX range 1 to 31 is used. (in Basic mode)
However according Vbuilder DMX range for Mac Viper in basic mode goed from 1 to 32. So there is a mismatch in DMX channels.

Any idea what could be wrong here?

The problem comes from the fact that Cuety is an entry market DMX controller. For this reason it has not be designed to be able to control fixture with more than 30 DMX channels.
If you want to be able to fully control your mac viper with Cuety anyway you will probably have to create some custom fixture file that will allow you to access everything even if the fader names do not fit the features.

In this post you should be able to find some informations that will help you

Hi Julien,

Thanks for your quick reply. Does this mean that the Cuety technically is not able to control any fixtures with more than 30 channels? In other words 30 channels per fixture is the limit that quety can handle?

Other question that comes to my mind now : Will Cuety work with Cuelux as a DMX node?

Yes the limit of channels that Cuety can read in the fixture file is limited to 30,
Anyway the Cuety programmer can only display 19 different features/faders this is why we limited it to 30 channels max.

But, if your fixture is 40 channels and you create 2 custom fixtures of 20 channels, then you will be able to fully control your fixture. But some features will be on faders where the name doesn't fit.

The LPU works only with the Cuety app, Cuelux works only with the Cuelux cable or box.
