hello together,

I'm new here and have a question.

I
2x GLP Pocket Scan DMX
2x Revo 3 DMX
2x Pro lightmaXX SRL-562 Strobe DMX
2x srl-439 dmx Double Derby
1x Antari Z-1200

These devices also work very well with freestylers.

I have 2 x Elation Prob bar 4 how can I use these in the freestyler?

Thanks for your help

Lemy

Hi Lemy and welcome to the FS forum.

I have four of these myself if you are thinking of this one (just with IEC output for each Channel in stead of Two three prong Edison sockets per channel):

There is several ways you can control them in FS. What i do is to patch each DMX channel from the bars to par cans fixture in Freestyler:
16 fixtures to control 4 Elation Pro Bars
16 fixtures to control 4 Elation Pro Bars
Each Fixture is patched to one DMX channel on the Pro Bar
Each Fixture is patched to one DMX channel on the Pro Bar

Freestyler also have a fixture for 4 par cans you can use instead:
A fixture which contains four (dimmer) channels, one for each Dimmer on the Pro Bar
A fixture which contains four (dimmer) channels, one for each Dimmer on the Pro Bar
Each Fixture is patched to four DMX channels for one Pro Bar
Each Fixture is patched to four DMX channels for one Pro Bar

(Remark: The pictures of "Add/Remove fixture" windows differ from Freestyler 3.0.1 because I have a beta version, but works the same)

I like to patch each dmx channel to a fixture in freestyler because you then can use the FX generator and i can control each selected DMX channel from my MIDI controller.

Hope that gives you a clue how to control the Pro Bars. Otherwise ask again.

Hi LJ,

Thank you for your help it works. :D

What has struck me that if I speak to the right bars, because I can not define macros, which still seems to a bug.

have nice day lemy
