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 th
e 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
- Choose the parameter's DMX channel with OFFSET
- Choose the parameters Home value
- Push a button (flashing green underneath the faders) to assign the parameter type
- This is the fader/button you will use to control this parameter
FOR COLOR MIXING
- Select the MIX type (i.e. RGB)
- Choose a Home value
- The first parameter will be Red, so press Hue (button #4) once
- Change the OFFSET to the next number
- Press the Hue button again to assign Green
- Change the OFFSET to the next number
- Press the Hue button again to assign Blue
