How would you setup this Strobe Channel?

Hello,

I have a fixture:
AVE Quad Flat, and some of the channels cause the light and Freestyler to lock up to the point where I need to reboot my PC.

Here is the LED Par can in question:
https://djcity.com.au/product/ave-quad- ... d-par-can/

Channels and settings are:

1. Red: 0 - 255 = 0 - 100%
2. Green: 0 - 255 = 0 - 100%
3. Blue: 0 - 255 = 0 - 100%
4. White: 0 - 255 = 0 - 100%
5. Dimmer: 0 - 255 = 0 - 100%
6. Strobe:


0 - 7 = No Function
8 - 99 = Strobe Slow to Fast
100 - 149 = Strobe from Fast to Slow
150 - 199 = Strobe Effect 1
200 - 245 = Strobe Effect 2
246 - 255 = Strobe, the fastest Strobe Effect.

7. Color walking

0 - 7 = No function
8 - 255 = Color Auto

8. Sound Control


0 - 7 = No Function
8 - 199 = color auto speed
200 - 255 = Sound Control

Channels 1 to 5 work fine in Freestyler, I can adjust the sliders in the little 8 channel slider menu on the right of Freestyler screen when the fixtures are selected. However if I touch any of the channels 6, 7 or 8, the LED Pars will strobe, change colours, react to sound etc .. But I cannot turn them back off.
Something will always stay on, a slow blinking strobe of the LEDs etc ..

I have attached a screenshot of how I have set them up in Fixture Creator.

I did try various settings for Strobe including:
Strobe Ch. 6
Off = 0
Low = 8
Med = 99
High = 255

and

Off = 0
Low = 8
Med = 127
High = 255

However this still causes strange behaviour from the LED pars.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, it would be great to be able to use the colour walking, strobe and sound control features of these lights, as in "Master" and "Slave" mode they are pretty good on their own.

Thanks again,

For anyone interested, after a bit of tinkering I worked out how to add some Macro's to do this.

Following instructions from here:

Needs a bit of work, but I am now on the right track :)
