Linked Fixture Channels [fixed]

[GPC]

I use Chauvet Hybrid 140SR's but have a problem when programming DMX using the 2 gobo channels.

ShowXpress seems to link the two channels so when you adjust the static gobo, the rotating gobo channel is also adjusted (and visa-versa). So you end up with your desired gobo AND a blurred gobo from the other channel at the same time.

You can disable the gobo channel you don't want, but as soon as you change the desired gobo channel the disabled one is enabled again. It's very annoying and I don't see a reason why the channels should be linked.

Is there a way to unlink the two channels please?

Many thanks, Gary

Hello,

I have the same problem.

It is necessary to modify the library of the projector in the patch dmx because the 2 channels have the same name.
you have to put gobo for the first channel and gobo 2 for the second wheel

Yes, the library should be effectively as gérald01 said.

Thank you for your replies.

While experimenting to find a solution I tried your exact example, by changing 'gobo wheel' to 'gobo wheel 2' in the fixtures settings - shame the profile wasn't set up correctly to start (Hybrids are also missing the gobos in the 3D viewer).

But I also realised the 'ungroup channels in fixture' button on the steps page does effectively the same thing! I really don't see a reason why they would be grouped to start with?

I would have included a picture but can't see how to embed an image in the post.

Many thanks
Gary
