lollington Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) [quote name='TimR' timestamp='1428274136' post='2739906'] Post a link to your DMX fixture. Do you mean Chanel 11 on your fixture is strobe? Seems odd unless it's a 16 Chanel fixture. In which case I think you can usually fiddle with addresses and fool the controller into controlling it by using channels 1-8 on one address and 9-16 on another address. I'm not totally sure about that though.

Found some wireless DMX receivers which look handy too. Seems to be a lot of cable that comes with the territory.

Norris Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 There's a lot of cables involved but at least they all daisy chain together. It's a lot easier than old school lighting used to be, having to run a cable from each light back to the controller. I'll have to check out the wireless ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Those headbanger units will still work in 8 channel mode though. I suspect you can emulate the strobe function through programming the controller. Do you use it a lot?

[/quote] I am at the planning stages of putting a lighting rig together. I need something before a wedding in June. Those headbangers caught my eye and have pretty decent reviews, even in audio mode but don't want to rely on that entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Check if the footswitch has an audio function. Looks like an ideal solution. It'll control the pan and tilt of the headbangers as well as the RGBW. I just have 4 PAR 64s and set them to auto/sound. We also have a laser and smoke machine. It's all just auto at the moment. Unless you program something very clever, not many people will notice for a band situation. DMX comes into play if you're doing a stage show. In a previous band I used to have 6 different 'mood' programs based on colours but run them from sound. Even the band wondered what I was doing with all the cables. I left the band and they still have the fixtures and controllers. For £85 though I might have another punt with the new band. Especially as we have the smoke machine and laser which are DMX.

redbandit599 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hi all If anyone has got some of the LEDJ 7Q5s (or similar) that started this thread, then I've just posted an ad for a Stompar foot controller that works with these. Unused, £30 posted as opposed to £ 65 retail.
