I am as green as it gets when it comes to lighting. I currently do all the sound for our band and now I am working on getting some lighting setup. I have 2 x 4Bar Quads, a Gig Bar 2 and a Hurricane 4D hazer. I have DMX cables, a laptop (i'm in IT so that is easy
), an Enttec Open DMX USB interface, 5 pin to 3 pin adapter, USB cable and of course the lighting fixtures.My dude at Sweetwater recommended QLC+ and so that is what I am going to try and use.
My issue is with the correct config within the fixture editor for the 4Bar Quad. The Gig Bar2 already has a definition within QLC+.
I am able to configure it and validate it, but I know it is not quite correct because of channel 3 having 3 functions dependent on what value channel 1 is set to. I believe I need to create an Alias, but I cannot even get to a point where I can click the "+" on the Alias section. I am stuck at this point. I have tried watching YouTube videos and looking at the Alias section of the manual, but I just cannot figure it out. I need some more specific direction.
Currently I have channel 3 set as strobe, but there is an "Auto speed' and "sound sensitivity" piece as well. This may work just fine how I have it set currently, but I know it is not "correct" and I would like to make this fixture 100% and share it with the Community.
I have attached the DMX values for the 19 channel setting that I will be using as well as my fixture definition file.
I am not looking for someone to do the work for me, but some specifics and direction would be very much appreciated!!!
Mike
