ViewReverseDimmer = FALSE
ViewReverseIris = FALSE
ViewColor = 16777215

Channel 1 through 6 = pod

I guess I should have put what I do not understand.

there are 6 individual lights with 8 different settings just for color and there is only 1,23, gobo wheel and 1,2 color wheel which only gets 5 of the lights going.

I did not see how I could make a macro to give me all the settings with out making 48 macros....is that what it takes?

Also, then does the strobe still work if I end of having to make all those macros?

Yes that sound the most logic way to me.

Just create 8 macros for Each Light. You can also do it with the Formula you can use with Fixture creator

look at: http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki/f ... plications

I used Channel one only and then used the ch0x=ch01 and I got all the colors....only issue I am having is with sound activation, but that is with all my lights, I am sure I am missing something

Just me being lazy....I am new but figuring out the fixture creator very fast. I know this is not the most powerful way to use FS, but I first I will do manual switching until I get good at programming.

I will be making a lot of Macros today for this light though

it's realy good to Start with the Fixture Creator this way you Learn how your Fixture Works and all the Feature that the light haves.

And aftre that its the LONG learning progress of Programming your own Sequences.
I also learned allot of Real profesional lighting gay's.
and they learnt me how to use the Submasters(Playback faders, Because i used the Avolight Pearl desk to learn it), and the idea behind everything.
But its realy easy if you understand it.

But the Cuelist buttons and Submaster are 2 totaly Differnt ways of programming ;)
