I am new to Freestyler and could use a little help if anyone is interested. Ive got a decent grasp on how to create fixtures and , create cues etc. However i have come across a snag. Some of the fixtures I use are 6 channel LED RGB Par cans and the channels are

1 = Red
2 = Green
3 = Blue
4 = Shutter
5 = Auto
6 = Speed

I have successfully programmed the fixture and everything works but... How do I configure the Strobe , Shutter and Speed ? All channel 4 does is determine which type of Strobe is happening but you need to use Channel 6 to speed the strobe slower or faster. How can I create the fixture so Freestyler knows that all channel 4 does is activate the strobe feature while Channel 6 is responsible for its speed ? It seems simple , but the issue im having is that for whatever reason the shutter channel on this fixture doesnt actually have a closed position. from 0-27 its just solid on, once you get to 28 it starts to Strobe , but then to change the speed u use channel 6. Ive tried setting up Channel 6 to control low, med fast and it does work. But using channel four as a shutter doesnt because , well it is more of a strobe ingage than a shutter. If i call it a shutter , than the Blackout feature for this par stops working

Thanks in advance

hi it seems you dont create any Sequences (am i right?)

if you create a Sequnce.
Strobe stop , all ledpars channel 4 "dmx value 0" channel 6 "dmx value 0"
Strobe slow, all ledpars channel 4 "dmx value 30" channel 6 "dmx value 15"
Strobe med, all ledpars channel 4 "dmx value 30" channel 6 "dmx value 128"
Strobe fast, all ledpars channel 4 "dmx value 30" channel 6 "dmx value 255"


and add these to a the CUE or i would add them to the overridebuttons and you can toggle between de buttons.

I can see it would work if i created sequences, i was just hoping for a fixture creation that would allow the global strobe feature to automatically work. I was able to create a profile for elation emulation where i created a sub channel for channel 4 that automtically came up when i increased strobe/speed channel
Thanks for the input
