Fill me in on what you'd like to do with the REVO 3.
I usually run mine in sound active and never really thought about wanting to run it DMX.
Note that channel 1 sets the mode (standalone, chase or pattern) then channel 2 selects the chase or pattern, channel 3 sets the speed and channel 4 sets the dimmer.
That's in 4 channel mode.
10 channel mode says it does the same thing but uses channels 2-8 for chase and pattern, and ch 9 for speed.
Mybe next week I will hook it up and test it out if no one creates a fixture before then.

I played around with the REVO 3 in DMX mode and can only see additional benefit for me personally of:
blackout control, strobe all lamps and turning on/off sound active.

To me the patterns and chases by themselves are kinda boring.
You could program it yourself for a series of chases and patterns but IMO it's a waste of time since the built in programs are already pretty good.

I'll upload a 4 channel file with shortcuts for fast strobe, slow strobe, blackout and sound active in a little bit.

Remember that if you want to program it
Channel 1 is mode (Pattern - Chase - Standalone)
Channel 2 is selection of pattern or chase 1 - 25
Channel 3 is chase speed or pattern strobe rate
Channel 4 is lamp dimmer

Check your manual for corresponding DMX values. Larry

Hi,
I'm new here so don't shhot me down if I'm being dumb ;-)

I'm investigating options for a friend who has an Impossibled and 2x Miracleds. Can anyone tell me a) what control you get over the Impossibled via DMX (colour etc?) and b) If there is a fixture file created for it?

I've yet to really use Freestyler and, as yet, don't have access to a USB-DMX dongle. Therefore testing isn't easy so far.
Thanks all.
