Patching LED PARS

There is a profile for a generic RGB device. In Patch select your channels. Click Type, navigate to "Generic" and there are a few different generic led types.

Sorry to bump a really old post !

Last time I posted I did exactly what you said and everything worked fine.

This time I havnt been so lucky.

I have all 6 LED RGB par 56's addressed to channel 100, I go to patch select channel 100 and set it to generic RGB LED.

Back in live I select channel 100 and wheel up and nothing happens, when I select channel 101 and wheel it up the pars light up this means that I cant use the encoders to change the colours and so on.

What am I doing wrong ? 

Did you soft patch desk channel 100 to address 100?

IE...

The Desk's channel 100 is the channel you reference to control the LED.

The Par's channel 100 is waht it references to when it listens to the desk controlling it

But in patch, you need to reference the two together...

It may also be a "home" issue - not in front of desk so ...

You may simply have to select a color first, then wheel up.

The wheel just does Intensity. If the home (default) position for color parameters is 0, then you have black at full. If home is full then you get white. Either way the desk makes up an intensity parameter even if the fixture doesn't have one. So you really have to work with all 4 parameters.
