Hi everyone, first time post. I have put my hand up to do the lights for our band and we start gigging in around 2 to 3 months we will have 3 sets down for performing. Our bass player is our sound guy so no one else wanted to do the lights, so muggins here said I'll do them lol. So I have purchased 2 PartyBar10 fixtures and to start with 2 Mini Gobo Moving Head Lights. I have spent a few days playing around with things and still can't seem to set these fixtures up properly. I am making my own up and the DMX addresses are correct that have come with the manuals, so that is all good.  Does anyone have any suggestions on creating these fixtures. The mini gobos are the standard generic ones and have 11 channels, however I am not utilising the shake mode gobo stuff so I don't even enter those channel under the presets I am making. The other one the PartyBar10 (16 channel) has a Jelly Moon at each end with the motor for those being channels 5 and 14. There are two RGBW Pars in the middle, and channel 15 and 16 pertain to the UV strobe bar going across the top of the fixture. So I am a bit stumped currently as I want to make sure these are setup and mapped correctly before getting frustrated with the software itself not doing what I want it to do to it only being the fixtures not being created correctly. Hope that all makes sense. I will keep digging into resources and trying different things, but don't want to waste time learning the software if things are not set up properly for it to work. Oh yeah I am using the Enttec Open USB to DMX dongle. Anyway hoping someone can point me in the right direction for a newbie or at least shine some light on this dilema!      Thanks in advance, and great job on the application Matt, very impressive as this looks like just the thing I need to have our lights run without having to run them manually on stage. I will run the lights through the music/audio method and let it do its thing. To much other stuff to worry about on stage right! lol.                                                                                                                                                                                      Cheers Mal.

Hi,

You can open this project file to get the PartyBar10 fixture. 

To use the Enttec Open USB, you need to go in the View/configuration menu and then under the USB-DMX tab, select the OPEN type.

Don't hesitate asking questions!
