Virtual dimmer channel (dimmer for RGB)

[Bakkster]

Is there a way to create a 'virtual dimmer' which can be automated to act as a dimmer channel for 3-channel RGB fixtures?

Sorry but we do not understand your question.

You can assign the channels of the rgb fixture to one of the master faders.

I'm hoping to create a fixture that the software treats as 4-channel RBG+Dimmer, but gets output to DMX-512 as 3-channel RGB only? In other words, control a typical RGB LED tape as if it were a 4-channel fixture.

I'm having difficulty finding how to assign the master faders. Can they be automated with macros?

Understood, so the answer of JohnRichards is correct.

Can master faders be automated with macros?

No.
The Master Fader acts over all buttons.

Has anyone been able to figure out how to create a virtual dimmer yet? I am also stuck needing a "virtual dimmer" channel for my LED strips with 3ch decoders. I have been able to find other lighting controllers that are starting to add this feature. Is this something that could be done in ShowXpress? It would be huge!!!

So far, a Master Fader can do the job.

Can you use the master fader in the steps editor?
