Hi, I love you for crating the program and make it free of usage, but I've to say I've lost time trying figure out of some malfunctions, I hardly believe a program at version 4.1.1 may have that:

- Some sequences when loaded give strobo to 255 to some, 212 to other fixtures, I can low it to 0/off and save it, it doesn't help. This happens to a sequence with 2 or more scenes, for one scene no problem.
- One fixture, and one only, when scene is saved and loaded back have the second wheen olour to 110. I have other lights with the same fixture type and they don't have this problem.
- Sometimes the program goes to offline mode, I can't understand why, cue is sotpped/empty, same for cuelist, I've checked all, the only way is to reload Freestyler. How you never thought to introduce an easier way to exit from offline?
- Touch panel with one screen could be better to have in window mode too and activate it by a button on freestler. Now to activate it I need to go to setup, not really user friendly for a person who know a few of PC.
- Can't add simply a cue to a touch panel button, seams I've to create a cuelist, remember its number and assign the button to it.
Guess I've forgot something else but this is the main problems I've. I've opened a bug but haven't an answer yet.
Thank you for reading this message

Have you tried turning "Link sliders with channel functions" off under the setup tab?

Strobe values differ from company to company, some strobe values are full on at a value of 64 only a few work from 0 - 255

Have you actually not saved a default value for the colour channel, you can save it to return to any value as default

Thanks for answer, all my fixtures have no-strobo when its channel is 0.
Can you please explain me why, when I open a sequence from file, the strobe goes to FAST? Even if I saved the sequenze with OFF strobe before?
Also, why it happens also with "50% colour channel" to 191 value? I saved it with zero.
Thank you

Try resetting your patch and correction settings, and also put all values to 0 and 'save as startup values'

How the patch can be useful for? I have numbers from one (for adress1) to 511 (for address 511m where whe addresses are mapped), I can't put automatically all to 0 as you suggest, do you suggest me to write 500 times 0 manually?

Anyway I set all values of all fixtures to zero (X-Y to middle), and I saved it as startup values as you suggested, I've also saved the scene to a sequence 1/1 called "zero-values". I've closed the program and loaded back, it respected it and all values to zero, then I loaded the "zero-values" sequence and I got this. Inexplicable

No press reset, is all...

You need to upload the exported fixture file do NOT zip it just upload the PFF (use the export feature in Fixture creator) your they only one reporting this problem so there must be a reason why ..

If I reset the vaules I obtain this:
the only way to have them to zero is to change namually, selecting one by one.
Which difference there is between pff and fxt? Since the editor can open fxt I was thinking that was the correct format to upload..

Yes I believe there is something wrong with my Freestyler, that's why I'm noticing this bugs.. and that's strange I know.
Maybe something wrong when compiling the fixture, the editor produces somrthing that Freestyler don't get well.

I think the difference between pff and fxt is that it contains the pictures

A pff is for export and sharing, you zipped some files on your other posts despite it explicitly stating not too, anything that makes that fixture will be contained in a .pff if you have something I don't then I'll never get it with a .fxt

Ok, sorry I didn't know about that, have you tested them, have you may found a problem in the fixture creation? Thanks

Double click to install and confirm overwrite and try again

That's double click when it's downloaded...

Thanks for support, I have no ide what you did, but this is how I proceed.
I renamed the actual fixture-aura.fxt and to fixture-aura-backup.fxt
I've opened your pff and exported it as fixture-aura.fxt, in this way Freestyler will load it instead of the previous one.
I've opened freestyler, the dmx output, and loaded a sequence. The strobo still go to 255.

Don't rename anything, I didn't tell you to rename anything! Download the file, double click it, it'll ask to overwrite say yes, close fixture creator, restart FreeStyler if already open...

Let me know what happens...

That's all you needed to do....

I did it, I closed all, doubleclicked on your file, ovewrote, opened Freestyler, loaded sequence, again strobo to 255, then I deactivated it to 0, saved the sequence and loaded back, again strobe to 255.

For you the fixture works correctly? Have you tried to use my Freestyler installation? I've created the rar and uploaded link to the maintenance site, I report it here too:
https://www.freestylersupport.com/bugs/view.php?id=1662

The fixture file is the problem, if your around and about at 10pm UK I'll have finished work in the meantime please open the fixture in fixture creator and show me the channels page in a screenshot

Oh and when I say open fixture I mean the one in the list and not the file I sent you. Please also try to use the backup feature and send that file to me by uploading here

I've clicked on fixture in Freestyler and selected "edit fixture", then the screenshots in the editor:

this is the original file that I uploaded yesterday, before edited with yours.
The problem is affecting all the other fixtures, not only this one. When I loaded the sequence, all of them goes to strobo HIGH. It doesn't matter where the strobo channel is, all fixture has different channel, but all strobo goes to HIGH. I think it's a problem of Freestyler, so I suggest you to open my rar file and test that, if for you is ok then there is an incompatibility with my Win10 64bit

There's a back up feature back it up and post the file please

I got what you mean, I did, thanks

When I load that I see no lights set to strobe, If your setup looks like this and your lights still strobing you have the wrong fixture for the light, try moving all the sliders to zero does it stop strobing? The best thing I can advise you is to uninstall freestyler and re-install 4.1.1 then use the backup file you posted, if your online within twnty minutes of seeing this we can do a remote connection so I can see what your describing because its not easily making sense because non of the lights in your backup are set to strobe
