Forum rules
This forum is designed for you to get HELP with building fixtures, Please make an attempt if you get stuck YOU must upload your partial fixture file (as an exported fixture file) so we can point you in the right direction if you don't do this you won't LEARN and if you don't learn you will may never be able to get the fixtures you require. It is Very hard to make fixtures for people when we don't have the same light at hand to test it with after all having the light in front of you makes programing so much easier! That's why we will help but rarely build any fixtures for you. You Alone are the best person to build your fixtures if you need help ask if you want it building for you Don't....

Sequence stops .. then jumps ahead

Post by RichieR »

Hello !

I have an issue with Freestyler 4.1.0, I have 4 x RGBW LED Par Cans:
AVE QUAD FLAT RGBW.

The 8 channels are:
1. Red
2. Green
3. Blue
4. White
5. Dimmer
6. Strobe
7. Color walking
8. Sound Control

I am only using channels 1 - 5, (however I have all 8 setup), I am trying to setup a nice slow colour fade, I start by selecting my fixtures,
Set Blue to 255.
Set Red to 80.
Then I open "Create Sequence"
"Open FX Generator"
Select "Sine"
Select channel "Red"
Click "Generate"

The plan is to have red slowly increase and fade out.
Then I add:
"Sine"
"Green"
"Generate"

etc etc ..

It looks great and works beautifully but it will suddenly freeze on a colour ... wait .... and then jump ahead.
And because it is jumping ahead, the jump is a noticeable colour change, not a smooth fade.

Following the steps above you will get 22 "Steps" in the sequence.
When I click "Play Sequence", it will play steps 1 - 22 beautifully, then back to step 1.
Steps 1 - 7 and suddenly stop on a random colour.

FREEZES / WAITS ... 15 seconds later, when it gets to step 1 it will jump back to the original Red 80/ Green 0/ Blue 255 colour and start fading .. then it might stop at step 18 .. freeze for 15 seconds ... etc etc ..

I am using the Lixada uDMX USB to DMX cable. I tried changing the refresh rate from 20 to 40, tried changing number of channels from 96 to 256 to 512 etc ..

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance for any replies!
