Request for a personalities

Hi I am a quite new to a ETC smartfade ml desk.

I will be running a show in July with some Led fixtures made by LED'J and the fixture names are:

Colour storm quad

q colour twin

stage colour quad

and other brand is e Lumen 8 moving head led - Kudos 120 model

could you please write a personalities for these fixtures as I am unable to patch them to the desk. I can controll the units but I cannot record anything until I will possibly patch them to the desk.

Many thanks

Marcin

  • In order to write fixture personalities we require a copy of the user manual for the fixture.

    This is the only way we can be sure that we are writing it for the correct fixture and not a different one that happens to have a similar name, or even from different a manufacturer with a similar name.
    - There are many fixtures with single-letter differences in the fixture name!

    You can also make you own personalities in the console, the process is described in the "Custom Moving Light Personalities" chapter of the SmartFade ML manual. (Page 40)

    hope this will help.

    Unfortunatelly I am not the expert of smartfade ml so I wouldn't be able to create my self a personalities.

    Many thanks

  • SmartFade ML doesn't support multi-cell fixtures, so these two fixtures can only really be used with SFML in the 'global' modes.
    I've added them to the list for a future library update.

    The Colour Storm Quad in 4ch mode is exactly the same as the Generic > LED - RGBW 8b

    Creating personalities in SFMl is easy - just choose the DMX channel number and press the 'bump' for the attribute it represents.

  • Hi

    Like I have mentioned I am new to sfml and just trying to get familar with the desk so anything for me is a bit hassle. i am used to use Pearl Tiger and now have to to learn sfml. As you said it's easy to create a personalities but still  didn'tr figured out how to do it.

    Would you mind to tell me how can I set a desk to a global mode?

    I can controll the fixtures in any channel mode I want , but  I would like to use it in 7 ch mode but I can't record any sequenses.

    I can't find anything in the manual how to create your own personalities so I am stuck.

  • Sorry, I phrased that badly.
    By "global" mode, I mean the fixture itself needs to be in one of its modes where the colour is set for all its 'blocks' simultaneously.

    Eg Colour Storm Quad 4ch-mode is supported while 19-channel mode is not.

    Creating your own Custom Personalities is described with examples on PDF pages 40-45 (printed pages 32-37) of SmartFadeML_v3.0.1_User_Manual_revA.pdf

  • Please note, SFML Library v9.4.0 is now posted to the forum: http://community.etcconnect.com/forums/p/9865/48680.aspx#48680

    This library contains the eLumen8 Kudos 120 as well as the previously-mentioned LEDJ Colour Storm Quad and Stage Colour Quad which were added in 9.3.1.
