Output remains 0 when changing the slider value for certain channels

Post by nuramon3211 »

Hi everyone,

I have the following problem in freestyler:

I have a location with multiple things, but for some channels of some devices, changing the value using the sliders on the top right does not change the output value, as seen here:
https://youtu.be/3A4GmMAfQvc

This happened to several devices when playing with the location, starting with simple spotlight attached to a dimmerpack.
What also happened (and I don't know if this is related): I have around 15 standard "par64" lamps controlled by several dimmerpacks in the location. When I use the function "locate selected fixtures" on one of them, this one turns on (correct), when clicking the option again it turns off (also correct I guess), but after that, none of all the par64s can be controlled by the sliders anymore. The "show output" window shows that after using the "locate selected fixture" one time, changing the values on the sliders has no effect anymore and all outputs stay 0. Did I just miss some option to somehow enable all the channels again, or what is going on there?

I've been using freestyler for several years now (but only one time per year at always the same event), but confusingly this is the first year in which these issues come up.

Best regards!

Hello, I have never used that channel mapper and then tried to use the manual sliders. I think you are best off Highlighting the fixture you want to control and then using the manual sliders. Also verify all your channels are correct.
