How To Create A User Personality On A SmartFade ML

Symptoms/Issue

I have the most up-to-date fixture library on my SmartFade ML, however there is not an existing profile for the fixture I'm using. How can I create my own fixture profile?

Solution

Go to [Menu] then [Patch] and select [Patch Device]. Now choose [User Personalities], press the checkmark on the User Personality number you desire and select (Edit). The LCD screens on your SmartFade ML should look something like the image below: 

OFFSET represents thSmartFadeML UPDATE.jpge parameter's DMX channel.

MIX (can be changed by pressing MORE) is the fixture's color mixing type. Choices: None, RGB, CMY, and RAGB

HOME represents the parameter's DMX value when the fixture is Home. Choices: 0 to 255 

ASSIGNED TO: represents the parameter type. 

 

 

STEPS
  1. Choose the parameter's DMX channel with OFFSET
  2. Choose the parameters Home value
  3. Push a button (flashing green underneath the faders) to assign the parameter type
    1. This is the fader/button you will use to control this parameter
