This forum is designed for you to get HELP with building fixtures, Please make an attempt if you get stuck YOU must upload your partial fixture file (as an exported fixture file) so we can point you in the right direction if you don't do this you won't LEARN and if you don't learn you will may never be able to get the fixtures you require. It is Very hard to make fixtures for people when we don't have the same light at hand to test it with after all having the light in front of you makes programing so much easier! That's why we will help but rarely build any fixtures for you. You Alone are the best person to build your fixtures if you need help ask if you want it building for you Don't....

Fade out not working at 0% for Venue TriPar64 fixture.

Post by JDawg »

Hello to the FS community!

Currently trying to get my Venue TriPar64's (8-ch) to dim with the master intensity feature. It works fine between 100-1% but when the master intensity reaches 0% the lights 'turn back on' (for lack of a better description). For the most part everything works fine, except for this part.

I am using the American DJ - Mega TRIPAR profile. The manual for this can be found here:

I would appreciate any help on this!

Hi JDawg, do you use the master intensity or the fixture intensity to dim your lights down?

Some fixtures have various modes which will activate if one channel is set to 0. Check your fixtures intensity/dimmer channel, if dimming goes from 0 to 255 (or any other pair of values).

Do you use a MIDI fader for dimming or a slider you change with your mouse?

Or do you use a sequence? If so, check if you have a further, unintended step after your fading step, which changes the value back to a different intensity than 0.

Hey Laudrin,

Looking at the output of the dimmer, it appears that the lamp goes to its 100% value when it hits 0 (as you suggested). I raised the default value of the dimmer channel value slightly higher than 0 and it appears to fix it. I appreciate the input!

Apologies that it took so long to respond, I have been going through some family trauma this year. This is me trying to take my life back.
