Hi I am very new to the world of DMX

I can't seem to get S2L to get random DMX values for my fixture.

I can manually change the values using the sliders within freestyler and it works great.

S2L detects the audio just fine but freestyler does nothing. I have selected every option to react to sound within freestyler but I get nothing.

I think its a problem with my fixture file that I created.

See if the attached file makes any difference?

Sorry I did not get a message about your reply.

Thank you for taking a look at my fixture.

Between now and posting I have moved to Ubuntu Linux so I am unable to test the file

As it happens I uploaded my party light pdf into Microsoft Copilot and it spat out the following config for Freestyler DMX to copy into a pff textfile.

I got a similar file output for QLC+

Thanks again!

Just discovered QLC+ does not do S2L.

Try the O2SL plugin, which is compatible with many DJ applications and allows you to trigger lighting effects directly from audio signals. Additionally, you can assign the LINE IN port in QLC+ as an audio input to use an external music source for sound-to-light effects.
