So iv been through the tutorials, created my fixture. All working except for the colours, the only colour that works is red. The others are different and when i click on another colour in freestyle it also makes my moving head move continuously. Any help on this would be awesome.

Re: Help With Fixture
Hej I have have a look on your fixture.
You have placed the color wheel on channel 7.
It has to be channel 6.
Also remove channel 6 from lamp the channel.
FreeStyler uses the dimmer channel to make lamp on off is the shutter channel isn't defined. Lamp channel is for striking the bulb
Strobe channel set the "Off" value to 0 and low to 5 or 10 and delete the med value (It should be calculated automatically)
If you want to use sound control then I will suggest that you add two macros a "Sound off" and a "Sound off" and then only add the value 0 and 255 on channel 7 for the macro.
Think that should help you.

Re: Help With Fixture
okay.
I think you should try to debug the fixture.
You have 7 sliders in the right side of FreeStyler
If you move them one by one then you can see what they do.
Verify that channel 5 is the strobe control and check in Fixture Creator that you only have defined / used channel 5 on the strobe.
It may also be an idea to upload the fixture here then I have a chance to look into it.

Re: Help With Fixture
Just an additional trick.
You can open the output monitor and there you can see what is happening / value changing when you press a button or icon.

Re: Help With Fixture
It is the fixture file from your original which is not the same as the one on you fader image.
The fader image I posted is how your fixture file from the original post looks when add it to my setup.
Yous should be the same and it is not.
If it is not the same then you are not using the fixture file you think.
Try to give it a fixture name like "Slender Beam Quad 1" or "Test 1" then you are 100% sure that the correct fixture file.
It may be and idea to remove the fixture and then add it again and then be 100% sure that you are using the correct file.
Also open the output monitor panel and see that the faders actually are changes the channels correct.
