Hello everybody,
I got my Lampy 40 last week.
Unfortunately I have to find out that some fixtures don't work,
For us it concerns the following fixtures:
Stairville CLB 4 in 14 channel mode (included in 7 channel mode) we need 14 channel mode,
Cameo MultiPar COB 1 17 channel mode
lightmaXX VEGA HALO 90
Varytec Hero Spot 90
The Atlabase database contains you.
Please improve there.
We bought the Lampy 40 2 U because the advertising promised a lot and we wanted to get away from a PC version that kept crashing.
Basically the Lampy 40 is great, but if our fixtures don't work in the Lampy, then the desk is not an alternative for us and we have to return it.
A Chimp 100 is just not in our budget, we are a small band and 2500 € for a lighting desk is quite a number.
Could you realize that these fixtures are available in the Lampy 40?
Thank you
Unfortunately, my English is not that good and I had it translated with Google Translator
as I mentioned to you on Facebook these fixtures do not exist in the Factory Library of the LAMPY as it does not support fixtures that use the same parameter multiple times, as is the case for all of these fixtures. I suggest either breaking them down into smaller fixture Libraries, so for example for the Stairville CLB 4 it would be 1 Dimmer fixture, 4 RGB Fixtures and one Strobe fixture per CLB 4.
For the Hero Spot for example it has dual dimmer channels (which in LAMPY is possible as there is a Dimmer 2 Attribute) but it also has 2 Shutter / Strobe channels, which again is not possible due to aforementioned issue. I recommend you to write the fixture file quickly on the console and map the second strobe to a different parameter.
I have made a Fixture file for the Varytec Hero Spot 90 (16 Channels), copy this file onto a USB
stick in the map: showtec\library and import it into the fixture-library with the fixture editor.
Ok I seem to have misunderstood Denis, today I've tried to get pixelmapping on my LED bars to work by splitting it into separate fixtures.
I've created 12 fixtures with 72 channels each, of which 6 channels are assigned and the rest is empty.
In my mind I was thinking I could patch multiple fixtures to one DMX address (because the assigned channels do not overlap) and have my 12 pixels that way. Of course that doesn't work because it won't let me assign multiple fixtures to one address.
What did I get wrong and how can I fix it?
in order to patch a fixture with multiple same attributes it is the best to split this fixture down into smaller fixtures - for example for a pixelbar with common dimmer, strobe and effects channel, but 10 individual RGB pixels I'd create fixtures and patch it in the following way:
1st Fixture on the console: "Main" consists of the Common Dimmer, Shutter and Effect channel. Then after, assuming each Pixel is RGB only, I would patch 10 Generic RGB Fixtures.
This is exactly the issue as described in this topic.
