Recently picked up the Chauvet Swarm 5fx. Anyone know where I may find the fixture file for it? I'm working on trying to create the fixture but I'm also new to Freestyler and is taking me awhile to figure out. Appreciate the help guys!
Here's the manual to help out if needed....

Why not pay the complete library a visit.
I think it is in the new_14_05_01.zip

Yes i noticed that fixture however does it seem incomplete? I'm getting the light tomorrow so will test. I'm learning all this however I may be wrong and fixture is complete.

I can see what you mean.
However all channals are there so you can control the fixture but there are no fancy buttons to press.

Hi and thanks again . I cannot seem to get any control out of this except for a couple of pre-set loops. Strange. Is it apparent to you why? I've definitely set all channel s right. Other lights work fine.

Just tested and it the same exact options available on the old incomplete swarm. I see you added to the existing controls however they do not work properly. Id love to send you this light lol

If I read the manual correct then channel 1 has to be set to 255 and then you should be able to control it with the faders.
There is a macro button "DMX mode" it sets channel 1 to 255.
This is the only thing I can see which could make the fixture not reacting on the control.

Thanx Jan for the upload. Most features seems to be working fine for me. Almost everything i need anyway.
I have found that the master blackout does not kill all the channels though

Hej alanv
It is a bit tricky with this type of fixtures as it is 3 fixtures in one. (Additional I don't have the fixture)
There are 3 different blackout One in Macros, one in Macros/ gobo and One in the color wheel 2.
I don't know if there are additional parts which need to be turned of to give a blackout.
Also the master "blackout" in FreeStyler don't work on blackout I have made for this fixture because it only works on intensity / shutter channels.
It could be an idea to add a master blackout.

Sorry for only coming back now. I got it sorted. You need to diable DMX first then blackout
