Repeat steps 3-5 for each channel and repeat steps 2-5 to create more modes.

Using MASTER DIMMER vs DIMMER Types When looking at the built-in fixture profile you will see that both MASTER DIMMER and DIMMER attribute types are used. The MASTER DIMMER type is used and set to ‘255’ when a fixture mode has a dimmer channel along with LED colour channels such as RGBW etc. In this case, MaestroDMX takes care of the dimming via the levels of the colour channels; the MASTER DIMMER just needs to be set to an intensity level. However, if you are using a fixture profile with a dimmer channel AND it uses a colour wheel and does NOT have any LED colour control (RGBW etc), then the DIMMER attribute type is used. The DIMMER type is intelligently controlled by MaestroDMX and will pulse the dimmer on the fixture in sync with the music. Using GOBO and PRISM Types MaestroDMX allows autonomous control of GOBO and PRISM attribute types. Before a GOBO or PRISM channel can be controlled by MaestroDMX, the GOBO and/or PRISM channels of your fixture profile must have steps defined. The specific ranges can be found in the fixture profile’s DMX specification available from the manufacturer.

A step has the following properties:

● The name of the specific gobo or prism effect at a specific DMX channel value. ● A range of DMX values that correlates to the effect. ● Enabled toggle status.
