I have an RGBA fixture, and I'm trying to use the color wheel with an amber channel. I added the RGB channel and the white/amber channel in scan library. In the desktop mode, I right clicked on the amber channel and selected auto. I move the color wheel around, but nothing happens with the amber/whi...

I don't mean to keep bringing this up, but is this coming any time in the future?

Is this being looked at as something to include?

Thanks for getting back to me. Lumidesk does not support an RGBAW fixture then? I did get the "auto" selection working based off of the color wheel. I guess I would like to see white/amber be split into two different channels and those both be auto off of the color wheel. That would make l...

Thoughts?

No.

More and more lights are getting white and amber LEDs, it would be great to support that.

Yeah, it's totally the fixture. People are returning these left and right. So my apologies for making this a huge deal.

I downloaded show xpress just to see if programming the colorstrip using that was any easier... it's not. If there's nothing we can do, then I guess I'll just deal with it. I don't know that there are any other fixtures that have this same oddity. I'm going to skype with someone later this evening t...

I wish I could make a new profile in scan library. But I cannot. The software does not allow me to have a RGB color selector across channels 2,3, and 4, and then add a fade speed on channel 2, etc. I will talk to some people and see how they are doing it.

? They all use the same DMX channels... So you're not understanding what I'm saying. If you look at the picture in my third post, you'll see the "modes" I'm talking about. I don't know how else to describe it other than I have already stated. I understand the colorstrips are a special circ...

Nope. Open up lumidesk and find the colorstrip (just "colorstrip") under Chauvet. If you patch that, you'll see a panel with static colors, color changes, color chases, and some other stuff. That's channel one for the fixture which is telling it what to do (if you look at the picture I pos...

I don't understand your question. I don't want to have to change the mode in the patch panel. I want to do it in the desktop mode. As that picture demonstrates, the colorstrip's modes are set via a dmx value on the first channel.

The number of channels assigned to (at least with the colorstrip) never changes. Some channels don't get used with some modes though.
Here's the image from the manual:

Well, the colorstrip has several different modes. All of which I may want to use in one show. Being able to select different modes during programming would make programming something like the colorstrip a lot easier.

I just bought two colorstrips and have Lumidesk Ultimate. I know the colorstrips are extremely difficult to program due to their several modes. But is there any way the software can be changed so that in the Desktop programming mode I can change modes of a profile on the fly? I would assume that sce...
