I have a Korg nano controller 2 that I am using with Freestyler along with simple par can lights. I am wondering if there is a way to create a simple setup that I can program each light to each slider without having cues. I've tried to create a sequence for each light but being that I can only run one at a time, I can't do what I want. The reason I am doing this was to have control of the lights like a lighting board but by saving money. Thanks.

Is there a reason you don't want cues?

I am a relative newbie of freestyler but this is how I would do it:
1. Make a separate sequence for each fixture @ full
2. Add each sequence to it's own cuelist
3. Load each cuelist into a submaster
4. Set each slider to control a submaster intensity

Now, as long as each submaster is running, you will be able to control the intensity of each channel on a slider. If you want to be able to flash each fixture:
1. Set a bunch of the sequences from above to override buttons.
2. Right click on each button and select the "flash button" option.
3. Map the override buttons to a corresponding button on your midi controller

Done! Faders with flash buttons! It might take a little while to setup, but as long as you save your setup, you will be set. Unfortunately you wont be able to set a state using the faders and record it to a cue. I don't know of any way to do this in freestyler at the moment.

Let us know how you go!

Thanks Chris. I have it working on my computer but I haven't tried it with my pack yet but it looks like it will work. The reason I am doing this is I am just using one dmx pack with 4 different colors and I don't need the cues and sequences so I just needed freestyler to do something simple and your solution seems to work. Thanks again!
