I dont think it is bug in freestyler 3.0.1. You can check this by go to Edit-->Show Output

When your isshows does strange things you can easily check if it is Freestyler which is sending wrong dmx values.


Another thing which could cause the problem is the DMX Daisy chain. Do you use a terminator in the last fixture of your setup? If not, this could easily be the problem.

And after the above; check your cabling and isolate the problem.
Connect _only_ the Ishow 3c to the DMX interface with some DMX cable, make sure the cable is good, see what it does then.
Let us know what comes out.
