I cannot adjust the brightness of the fixtures [fixed]

Post by mondinga »

Hi, I am able to use Pixels to create scenes and that works fine.

My problem is that I cannot adjust the brightness of the fixtures. So, when I create a scene, the lights are too bright and blinding.

I tried creating custom colors in the hopes that that would work, but it didn't. The amount of control that you get seems to be extremely limited.

Any ideas or suggestions?

You can link a Master Fader in Live to all the RGB channels, or to the dimmer channels.

Also in "Pixels settings" (first icon in Pixels toolbar), you can adjust led/lamp brightness.

Thank you for the suggestions.

There aren't any dimmers on the fixture in using. It has 18 LEDs. Each LED gets assigned an RGB channel and that's it.

I assigned all of the RGB channels to the master dimmer and it does in fact dim the lights down. Unfortunately, it's not very progressive. Maybe this is just a limitation of of doing pixel mapping over DMX.

It would be cool if someone could post a video clip of what they have done using pixel mapping.

The pixel mapping definitely works, but my LED's have to stay full on or full off, which sucks.
