Problem with Freestyler and BCF 2000

Post by alicevanimpe »

Hello Everybody

I have buy a BCF2000 , and ok for the config with smoke machinne and blackout ect...

But I have 4 led Bar with 8 DMX channel .
I try to assign 1 bar on first channel on BCF2000. :
Channel 1= Dimmer
Channel 2 = Strobe
Channel 5 = Red
Channel 6 = Blue
Channel 7= Green
Channel 8 = Whithe

I would you like to assign the fader of channel 1 to the dimmer on led bar , assign the rotary buttom to select the color , and the push buttom to assign the strobe.

It is possible ? If no another solution to control one led bar with One channel of BCF 2000

thank you

I afraid I can't help as I dont use BCF200, but I believe you need to use it as a midi control or something like that. I think spirit the moderator is best at this kind of stuff, might be worth dropping him a PM and see if he can help.

Cheers,
Nathan

yes i do indead know the trick ;)

but first look at this page here you can get a Idea about ALL!!! the differnt External command you can use with MIDI.
http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki/e ... l_commands
Look @ Fixture control & external control

Now there are two ways..

1. you can use the MIDI to DMX function...
so Fader1 becomes DMX channel 1
Fader2 becomes DMX channel 2
and on... upto 24 Midi to DMX command can be used.

2.Or you can use the there for made Dimmer, Strobe, Red, Green, Blue, White commands
and assinge them to the faders..

NOTE: you need to Select the Fixture before these Command will work..

yes thats because i LOVE!!!! to use a External device to control my light instead of Keyboard and mouse..
and i LOVE!!! the midi Protocal as its Realy!!!! easy to understand and i can Create some workarounds for Features FS doesnt have :geek:

like Scroll thru the submaster list with a Encoder before i used a script to get this working. but now the devolper added the feature to FS.

and some other stuff i do with midi..
