Greeting, Newbie to mydmx,Seems to be great... trying to set up Chauvet COLORstrip,there are three versions listed. Which one should I use?
Thanx,Mike

well RGB mode is simply just that, only RGB control. i would use the REV II if it is in there if it is not let me know ill email it and you can check it out.
Sincerely,

I figured that but were are 2 RGB choices.I wasn't sure, There is not a REV II,thanx for getting back to me so soon.
my email is m3231 at nj dot rr dotcom, to send me REV II,I would appreciate it
Thanx again....

will do as soon as I can. Sincerely,

Installed the RevII ypu sent me, but something seems amiss.
MyDMX comands on the panel do not correspond with colorstrip.Have reset colorsrip.IE 4th fader(Blue)changes speed,not color.
Do I need to add Colorstrip RGb to get change color,fade?
Iwould like to have all controlls avaiable to me through MyDMX.
Am doing something wrong?

well let me make sure is that first you know that channel one controls what the other channels do correct? your RGB mix mode is channel 1 at 210-219 and the color fade is 220-229. tell me exactly what channels and values you are having trouble with in the software.

I understand that. Here is what happening.
Ch 1(icon)4-242 Only Full on ... no ther respnse
Ch 2 (Speed): Nothing,
Ch 3(Speed)72-74 only work
Ch 4(Col Blue): No clor change. erratic behavoir,flashing seq,off
I can send you break down of channels for Colorstrip,but you prob.have it.
Maybe There instructions are wrong????
Ther should 4 channels w/corresponding commands
1 Blackout and Static/Flashing colors
2 Chase Programs
3 RGB Mode
4 Color Fade Mode

Thanks

well the profile i sent you is exactly to the manuals specs. and really if there is control for 4 channels and you move the 4 faders it should work regardless if the profile is entirely accurate or not which in this case the profile is spot on. so are you saying you only get random flashes and such?

depends on where the sliders are.
some are randomOn but color isn't what it should be(red=red,blue=blue etc...), some are erractic.
I set up Colorstrip in manual mode(not connected to Mydmx), and everything works fine.
The revII you sent me does not correspond to the Channel summary (per owners manual on page 5),Colorstrip indicated.Have unit set on S dAd
After resetting.
Possible the program is corrupt?
Should this be first in line ? I have it last.
Thanx for your understanding...

No the colorstrip need to be where you addressed it in the software and you need to make sure it is on DMX mode. so if i had 2 of these and they started at channel 8 the first unit would be addressed to ch.8 and the next to ch.12
How new are you to my dmx and DMX in general?

Pretty new to both.
I have it DMX mode. Channel 22(S dAd) I have one of these units. 2 Fusion ex scanners, one DMX star Ball, One strobe,one lg60 laser 4 par 64 cans.
Everything works fine. Not too difficult. pretty much drag and drop to set up. Already set up a couple of scenes.
Pretty adapt when it comes to computers.

ok well as i said it cant really be the profile. try moving it to the front of the line cable wise and address wise see if that helps. or try a straight plug from dongle to strip and give it a try. or if you have access to a hardware dmx controller give that a try aswell. are you using proper DMX cable and not Mic cable? are you terminating the last fixture in the line?

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Was away...HAd to skip a channel to make it work. ie,had a light on channel 20-25 had colorstrip on the next channel,had problems, but skipped one channel to 27 and everything was fine.
Have accu cables, dmx terminator FYI, also, have a DMX board, when I hooked colorstrip up worked just fine.
Don't know why skipping a channel worked, possible interference of some sort?
Again, Thank You for all you help.Being a newbie and all. It was much appreciated.

Thats weird but im glad you got it to work.
Sincerely,

greetings again, Can I add a Matrix for the colorstrip,using the REVII program?I'm not sure how that works?I want to have finer controll of the rgb color mixing. I now have two colorstrips.
Still learning...

if you only have two of them then there really is no need for a matrix. matrix is for large amounts of RGB lights. like 10-20+. unless im not understanding what matrix your talking about? Let me know.
Sincerely,

I just wanted to controll the rgb mode more precisely.I read in the manual you could add a matrix for RGb, not realizing it was for many lights.

well see with that fixture the RGB channels have multiple functions so the color manager and matrix would not work with that fixture profile. I could TRY modifying it for you but no gaursntees it will work.
Sincerely,

That would be excellent!Worth trying.I try to get as much time as I can understanding the operation of this program. Youtube, manual,etc...
Any help you can offer would be much thankful for..

do you have the Colorstrip RGB mode profile? it should work with color manager and efx gen and if you have enough the matrix too. Let me know if you have it or not. if anything try the New chauvet profiles folder on the my dmx webpage on the ADJ site. ok?
Sincerely,
