I just started using FS and I'm trying to set up my show. (Replacing the old AmericanDJ Show Designer)
I have;
-6, Martin MX4 (set for 6 ch)
-2, Martin Acrobat 6ch
-4, AmericanDJ Rainbow 250
-4, AmericanDJ PP20 (chaser/powerpack) for rope lights
-2, AmericanDJ PP20L (chaser/powerpack) for stupid fixtures (raptor, mace, agressor, ect)
We are a 32 lane Bowling center.
This package is for our Rock-N-Bowl every Fri and Sat night.
My problem starts at the begining with the MX4's.
The optional 7th channel is a jumper inside the MX4 to enable.
FS software see them as 7 channel, and 3D viewer sees them as 6 channel.
This is really messing me up!

There seems to be no way to tell FS that I'm only using 6, or tell 3D I'm using 7.

Now, for the actual show, I could jumper all my fixtures to 7 channel.
But this removes the 3D feature from my grasp. I like that I can program my show without any lights on, then hook them up and just need little tweeks to the cues here and there to get the look I was after.
Is there a 6 channel profile for the Martin MX4?
Can I use fixture creator to make my own MX4 profile?
I'd prefer to run the fixtures in 6 channel rather than take them all down, open them up, just to set a jumper.
And then, How can I tell 3D that MX4 is a 7 channel fixture?

Also, I haven't yet purchased my interface.
Which one work best for you? Why?
I'm looking at the EntTec Pro.
But all the pictures of it show a 5 pin out and my fixtures are the old 3 pin XLR.
Does the EntTec come in a 3 pin XLR?
Thank You for helping a newby,
