Chauvet Circus

[jsquaredaudio]

I am new to this so I am going to try and make the Chauvet Circus fixture, I will upload tonight as I do not see it anywhere on the forums.
Can someone check my work if possible?
Thanks

So, the programs are cool and alll, but I am assuming they are considered macros in FS. Does that mean I need to figure out each pattern and make a little gif to match with each?
I will do that but can someone tell me if that is the case.

Doubt I will get anything posted tonight but I am working on, all just so new to me
Thanks

Like with inbuild programmes i just Use the Icons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

But in the end it just how you like to have it.

[jsquaredaudio]

Macros is the best place to do inbuild programs though?

[Spirit]

You can use Macros or the Third gobowheel.
But its not a Big deal.

[jsquaredaudio]

Why not the 1st gobo wheel. I am just trying to understand how to build fixture files

[Spirit]

read this page, and all the links you see
http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki/fixture_creator

thats because , i have never seen a Fixture with 3 Gobo wheels.
So the third Gobowheel is mostly Used for other commen functions.

and the Macros is a Jocker Function, it can be used for realy everything.

First try at this, anyone want to take a loook and see if it makes sense

Gobo2 is Speed of program
Gobo3 is built in programs

and then there is a strobe pattern.

For some reason I could not export as a pff so I attached a zip file with all the files I used
Thanks

[Spirit]

Ahh yes i used it and i see a Fault, Sorry but i also forgot this.
But the Gobo Window does not Open. but that comes because there is No Gobo1 Channel.
So if you Change Gobo wheel 2 To Gobo wheel 1 then that problem will be solved.
Only the bad this is You need to Redo all the Values again.
You can also Change Gobowheel 3 to 1

And the Lamp panel wil not Open and thats caused because there is no Shutter ch Or Intensity ch.
and to solve this i would recommend to fill in the Chutter ch. to 3 and Open = 255 (Fast Strobe) Closed = 0 (Shutter off)

But Shutter closed is also the Blackout feature with in Freestyler, so that will not work. And it will stops The Strobo.

I will redo tonight and re-upload...I am also going to take picture of each of the 42 programs so it is easier to tell what each is

[jsquaredaudio]

Finished this file with pictures for the in-built program. Anyone with a Circus let me know if it works for you.
I get my DMX to usb tonight so I will try it out as well

My first attempt at building a fixture but I think I did it right

[jsquaredaudio]

It works for the most part, but sound activated program does not work....any ideas for me

I even tried to activate the sound mode but it didnt do anything

[Spirit]

oke and you also turn on the Program Speed? ch.2
