Chauvet FXPar 9 - 23 channel

The FXpar9 is complicated. It is like several fixtures in one.
It has 3, 6, 9, and 23 Channel modes. I am looking for 23ch

Manual: https://www.chauvetdj.com/wp-content/up ... ev4_WO.pdf

It has has a 9 lamp ring divided into groups of 3 each one can be Red, Green, Blue, Ultraviolet, with strobe.
Then it has a ring of Surface Mounted Diodes that strobe.
Lots of macros too.
I started this one. I didn't know how to add a second and third set of RGBuv and the SMD ring.

Someone must have created an FX PAR 9 file

If you realy want to use it in the 23 ch mode then I think you need to make it as more single fixtures and then add them next to each other. There are some info on the wiki about combined fixtures.

Fixture A Ch1 = red, Ch2 = green, Ch3 = blue, Ch4 = UV, Ch5 = strobe
Fixture B Ch1 = red, Ch2 = green, Ch3 = blue, Ch4 = strobe, Ch5 = SMD strobe, Ch6 = Auto ...........

When you then add it to your addressing in FreeStyler then you need to add them like a group.
3 x Fixture A and 1 Fixture B


Address 1 - 5 Fixture A
Address 6 - 10 Fixture A
Address 11 - 15 Fixture A
Address 16 - 23 Fixture B
