Dantheman Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi all in Blue-room. At our local am dram venue they have a Strand 300 50/50. I am trying to get some 5 channel LED lights to work on it.I have put the lights into the fixture file ok but getting them patched in has me fooled.If I set the DMX address on the light to 1 it will work on the sliders but if I put the address to say 54 I see it come up on the patch screen but I have no way of controlling it. I know it is something I have done, so any advice would be gratefull. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Sadly, it's not really practical to get LEDs to work as a fixture UNLESS they have a master intensity/dimmer/level channel. Something that many budget options don't. The only practical way I've found to work with these is to simply patch the channels individually to suit - and just use the R/G/B channels if you need to conserve addresses.I've also found it useful if using a number of these to patch all the red channels on adjacent desk channels, then the green, then the blue - keeps it tidier and easier to call up a 'wash' of all red, green etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
