Hello,

I have a 4 channel Dimmer and I am trying to create 4 faders for this in Show Mode, but after placing the 4 faders they all act as 1. When I move 1 of the faders, all 4 channels move together.

They seem to be linkt together, is there a way to Unlink them?

When I work with the faders manualy in the fixture window (below) they work independently and correctly, but in Showmode they don't.

Thank you in advance and greetings from Spain.

No help at all???

Hi Ravana,

Add 4 x dimmers to the Show Mode tab then right click to enter EDIT mode. Right click a fader and edit the associations, you will need to assign each fader to each individual dimmer. See that attached image.

OK, thank you.... I will try this tonight as soon as I get into the club.

Well it did not work
I see diferent info on my screen... I did sellect dimmer1 un fader one, dimmer2 on fader 2, etc. I have tried sellecting and desellecting ddp405 dimmer from the Luminaries list, but in both cases: same result.... all 4 faders move at the same time (like they are linked together).
Maybe it's a problem with the fixture, su I will try and remake the fixture myself from zero, as this should not be to dificult being only 4 dimmer faders.... maybe it will work then...?

Try patching them as 4 single dimmers fixtures from the '_Generic' folder and you should see the same options as me. Cheers

OK, I will try this tonight.

Hello, Finally I created a new fixture with 4 dimmer channels and that works perfectly... so the problem was the fixture.
Thank you for your help!

Dear Daslight Team,

I am experiencing exactly the same problem. However, if I patch 4 single channel dimmer instead of the predefined fixture I am no able to use the effect generator on the fixture anymore. I can still create effects but I am not able to preview which makes creation really uncomfortable. Can you help me how to fix this, so I can use dimmer in show mode as well as effect creator for the fixture?

Thank you

Any support on this topic?

Hello,

Yes sadly this seems to be a limit in D4's conception. Show mode works on channel types, meaning all channels of the same type in a fixture are all treated as one.

We sure will take this into account for next versions of our software, though.

Best regards,
