I need help with a profile for my new lights. There is very little information in the manual. I am attaching a photo of what info is available. They have 8 colors and 8 gobos that's about all of the info that I can find. I cant seem to locate a list of the gobos and colors. Thank you for any help you can give me as I am new!

Is this your light?

I took a chance and developed a fixture.

The color wheel is there just to give you an idea. If you can supply the colors and DMX values I will update the fixture to correct the color wheel.

The gobo wheel may have the correct images but the DMX values are not correct. Please supply corrections so that I can update the fixture.

Also, if you can post a clearer picture I can create custom sliders for the sound and strobe functions.

[Yes that is my light. The images on the site are not in correct order. I will do my best to explain. Colors are as follows, 1-white, 2-red, 3-green, 4-blue, 5-yellow, 6-orange, 7-cyan, 8-magenta. Then it goes to split colors. 9red-white, 10red-green etc thru the colors at 127 colors begin to rotate counter clockwise and at 192 they begin to rotate clockwise. Gobos are as follows 1-circle, 2hashed star, 3 triangles, 4-swirl, 5 star, 6spots or dots, 7 locked circles, 8 segmented star then they repeat with shake. at 127 they begin to rotate ccw and at 192 they go clockwise. As I stated I am very new to freestyler was using an elation board before this. I will attach a higher res image of the manual Information. Also I wanted to thank you VERY much for your help. Very Kind of you!

Thank you for the info. That will help. With your information I can place the colors on the color selection window in the correct order and provide custom sliders for the rotation. With the Elation board can you see the DMX values? Without the correct values the color selection window will still not provide the desired results. If the DMX value is not available from the Elation board then you can use Freestyler to find them. To accomplish this you would use the standard slider for channel 8 in the upper right corner, moving it and making a note of the value in the Show Output window that selects the color.

The same comment applies to go the gobo. I can order them correctly now but will need the DMX values for the gobo selection window to work as desired.

Sorry for the delay.. That took a minute. White=0-6 no7.ed 8-15 no 16, Green 17-23 no 24, Blue 25-31, Yellow 32-38 no 39, orange 40-46 no 47, cyan 48-55 no 56, Magenta 57-63 no 64, Split red/white 65-72 etc. Colors rotate ccw 128-191, Colors rotate cw 191-255. Gobos-Circle 0-6 no 7, hashed star, 8-15 no 16, Triangles 17-23 no 24, Swirl 25-31, Star 32-38 no 39, Spots 40-46 no 47, locked circles 48-55 no 56, Segmented star 57-63 no 64, 128-191 ccw rotate, 192-255 cw rotate. I hop this helps. Again THANK YOU so much!

Attached is a fixture updated with your additional information - thank you. There may still be some errors so please check it carefully and let me know.

The following helpful programming windows (top menu item Window->All) are available:
Colors
Gobos
Lamp
Pan Tilt
Custom Sliders

Everything seems to work except blackout. Any thoughts on that? And a great job! Thank you SO MUCH! I will study the profile and use it to learn from.

Found it. I moved intensity channel to shutter channel and set a 255 value and it works now! Thanks again!

You are welcome. I am glad it is working.

Hey, so I used to most recent profile you posted (thanks by the way, took forever to find something like that), but none of the lights seem to respond when get them setup. I'm pretty positive the channel addresses are correct. This is my first time plugging lights into any software let alone really using them on a professional level period so I'm sure it's a simple fix I'm just over looking.

If you use the output monitor then you can see what FreeStyler are sending on the channals.
"Output" -> "Output monitor"

On the fixture there are probably a DMX indicator (flashing LED) which indicate is the fixture receive a DMX signal.

And finally check if the fixture have more modes and if it is in the right mode.

I can’t seem to find a solution. I am also new to this and recently purchased these heads as well.
