Good day. Let's have 30x light, which has a strobe channel.
I want to control the strobe channel with a fader via midi. Can be other than via
1) SETUP / MIDI CONTROL / MIDI TO DMX (max. 24 lights x 1DMX channel can be controlled)
2) SETUP / PREFERENCES / PATCH (consequently it is not possible to individually control the DMX strobe channel of individual lights)
3) ???

I know that you are wanting to control a midi channel but your explanation is very difficult to translate. What midi controller are you attempting to setup? Do you want a slider for the strobe channel of 30 different lights? 30 sliders that only control strobe channel? Or do you want 1 slider that controls all 30 strobe channels?

One slider for 30 flash channels

Do all lights need to be addressed independently or can they all have same address?
Regardless,
Right click on Freestyler desktop and select groups, create a group with all fixtures, create midi shortcut to strobe channel for that group.
I believe you can do it via command line but not sure of the syntax

The lights must be addressed independently.

Unfortunately, I do not define a midi strobe channel for the group.

The Shutter is the same as the Strobe channel. You could make a 1 step sequence and use an override Button. You could also make a two step sequence (on/off) set it to snap and lower all times and speeds to their lowest, you can make the speed whatever you want in the cue window. Why a Slider? a button would do what you want then use the slider to adjust speed or intensity. There are many ways.

I have the same problem. One potential workaround could be recreating the fixtures with wrong channel descriptions - swap the intensity and strobe channel. With those fixtures you could use the intensity slider of a submaster to control flash rates. Of course this breakes all other specificially intensity related features like blackout. I would highly appreciate if the submasters would allow to use the slider for other channels which would solve this issue ... the code is there already after all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Partyman What do you mean by "Midi Shortcut"? I couldn´t find it in the FS Wiki.

using a midi device to trigger, There is a list of option available in the midi section of setup
