Never underestimate the brainpower of moi 🙂 I found the solution. What I discovered is that I can make a scene consisting of several fixtures doing different things. I knew that I could chose for instance to light Par 1 + Par 4 in red while Par 2 and Par 3 remained dark. Then I started experimenting. What if there was a way to make Par 1 red and at the same time make Par 4 green. I thought this wasn’t possible as both light use the same slider to adjust the color, so if I used slider 2, both light would turn red. Right?

Well, There is a way around this, very simple, but I didn’t know it was possible:

– go into program mode and select a free bank
– click fixture 1 and adjust Par 1 to the color you want (ie red)
– click fixture 1 again, thus turning it off, so it won’t react to the slider anymore
– sliders down to starting position
– click fixture 2 and adjust Par2 to the color you want (ie green)
– click fixture 2 again, to deselect it
– sliders down
– click fixture 3 and adjust Par 3 to the desired color (ie blue)
– click fixture 3 again to deselect

Once you adjusted all the lights, click the scene in which you want it all to be saved and then click the save button (in case of tha Ayra it’s the Midi/Rec button. Et voila, now one single scene consist of differen fixtures with different colors.

Using this system, I can include my laser in every scene I make, I only have to pay attention that I use the same settings every time, so the laser won’t change it’s pattern with every new scene.

Now I finally can start programming my controller, which promisses to be one heck of a job….

Hello Dj Vintage,

Thanks for your answer.

Some info about the settings on my AYRA oso 240b mk II. It has room for 12 fixtures and has 16 channel/fixture. My Pars use 8 channels, the laser uses 12, so no problem there.

DMX Par1: 1 Par2: 17 Par3: 33 Par4: 49 Laser: 65

When I run light and laser seperately, everything works perfect

I tried making a chase consisting of alternating Light and Laser (S1:light S2 Laser S3 light, etc) but this way, the laser doesn’t run smooth enough. I was thinking of making a chase where each scene consist of light AND laser (S1 light+laser S2 light+laser S3 light+laser), but the problem there is that the lights and laser use the same channel for different things (channel2 light = red, channel 2 laser = pattern) .

I’ve read that it’s possible to patch the channels, so each channels does hat you want it to do, but this seems a bit farfetched, as I imagine I’m not the only dj who wants to run different types of fixtures from the same controller at the same time?

I also tried making two chases, one consisting of only lights, one consisting of only laser. According to the manual, it is possible to run two chases at the same time. Alas, this didn’t seem to work either.

Any and all suggestions are more than welcomed !

Hey Dj Vintage,

Thanks for all the intell…on one side, it helped alot, now I know I’m gonna repair the tweeter and use the speaker as intended..full range. On the other hand, damn, I thought I found a cheap solution for owning a sub 😉

THX for the advice Terry, the tweeter membrane is being ordered as we speak;.euhm..type 😉

yow Tod and Vintage,

Damn, I should think things through more. How right you are about cables being pulled in the booth. If that happens, something strange must be going down in the booth 🙂 but I did play in some “strange” place before :p

Hi Caleb,

Thanks for the advice. The HK Pro 15 xd doesn’t have any other IN’s than XLR. That’s why I doubted to use either the Pioneer SZ Master 2 (RCA) or Booth OUT (Jack 1/4) but I guess I can use either one. The advantage of using the Booth OUt is that I can use the seperate Booth volume knob, which might come in handy.

Tomorrow I will be ordering 2 Jack TRS 1/4 tot XLR cables, so I can hook up both my speakers,just in case the gear that is provided in the venue doesn’t cut it.

THX again 🙂
