Happy Jack Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I suspect this may be beyond the capabilities of the little desk, but hear me out : We've finally decided to start using our Pulsar Rackpack with the Freekie we own. Having sat down today briefly and recorded some basic on / off states with a few PARs at various intensities, I noticed each scene 'snaps' to the next. There is no curve or slope regardless of the duration of the fade in time. Great for bands, not so for walk-in mood or ambient lighting. I am aware of dimmer profiles, but can it be possible that this little desk isn't able to process these delicate, slower transitions... I suppose the next question then is, what allows for this sort of functionality? What is absent? Either I'm missing something very obvious, or the Freekie just isn't up to the task. I'd like to hear from other Freekie users on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boatman Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 OK, I'll give you an answer: Since the Freekie is DJ kit you are more likely to get a solution here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niclights Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I've never used one, but according to the manual you have to set the 'fade time/pitch' fader to 50%. Not sure if that will help or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtwicht Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 The Freekie hasn't been really designed for controlling dimmers. It can only fade the Dimmer channel and Pan/Tilt of each fixture, all other channels will snap. So per fixture (max. 12 ch) only those 3 channels will fade according to the entered fade time.

cliveybaby Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Not 100% surebut check the mode selection that deals with X/Y and 'all fade' The freekie is a scanmaster guts with a slight change to the op system the scammaster sorry scanmasters have the option the swap betweenall fade-genericsand X/Y just for movers I think on the freekie it means setting the a set of chans in that fixture patchset the pan and tilt to 'none' I think and then all of the chans in that patch should respond to fade times CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
