    That was easy to understand. There are lots of videos on this subject. They create more if a problem than solve. They make you feel thick and make themselves look clever! I hate them. That was brilliant!

    Thanks for breaking this down. I've always used my lights in sound mode, and I'm starting with zero knowledge of dmx control. It can be confusing and frustrating trying to learn dmx programming without someone to walk me through things. You covered some important basics, very well explained and demonstrated. To dummies like me its not easy without help! Your video made it easy. Much obliged sir.

    Just got a 192 and this is by far!!! the best demo tutorial on the web , I got the controller to be able to controller my stage LEDs bars , I also bought the foot switch pedals , if I DmX the 4 LED lights each side of my band as well as control with my 192 can I also the footswitch controller at the same time ? the stage lights I have are the stairville CBL2.4's I have the footswitch for each bar , but maybe I only need to stomp on one since the bars are connected , maybe you might do a demo on this for us , but seriously great video , thanks in advance for your time , 👍

    • @DJ2Legit007
      @DJ2Legit007  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Actually I misread your question. If you use them as master and slave and set to sound mode, then yes they will be in sync. If you use the IR remote for sound mode, they won't be in sync.

    Great breakdown, brother... I have a bunch of RF1 and RF4s. I also purchased the IR4 from Rick Webb, but unfortunately, the RFs don't stay synced with the new IR4 in DMX mode.

    • @DJ2Legit007
      @DJ2Legit007  ปีที่แล้ว

      Really? What a bummer. I was considering purchasing 8 of the IR4s just to add to my collection. In DMX mode, the RF4s and IR4s are both slaves to the controller so everything should be in perfect sync. I don't see why they aren't in sync for you. My buddy has some IR4s coming in next week. I'll borrow one and test it. Thanks for the heads up!

    • @DJ_Southern_Comfort
      @DJ_Southern_Comfort ปีที่แล้ว

      @DJ 2Legit That's what I said... I purchased them to have the freedom to program the IR4 to any DMX channel and slave everythingelse to them... when I tested them, I had all my RF1 & 4s slaved to the IR4 in DMX mode, and unfortunately, all the RFs would initially run as expected, but one by one they kept dropping off. Now, if you slave them to the IR4 while the IR4 is in Remote mode, they work flawlessly... thats how I've been using them. You can see them in action on my giglog.

    • @DJ2Legit007
      @DJ2Legit007  ปีที่แล้ว

      @Southern Comfort Entertainment Ahhhh okay. I understand what you're saying now. When using dmx, you must come out of master slave mode and let your dmx controller communicate with all the lights, not just the IR4 master. That should fix the problem. Master slave mode should only be used when using the IR remote.

  • @arturozavala6383
    @arturozavala6383 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks, Legit. One question I have is, would it be possible to show how to chase multiple lights? For example, if you have 20 lights around a room and you would start on the right side and the lights would chase to the left side and then go back to the right, back to the left, etc. Thanks, Legit.

    • @DJ2Legit007
      @DJ2Legit007  ปีที่แล้ว

      The DMX controller only gives you 12 fixtures. To do what you want, you would need 20 fixtures. You could chase 2 lights at a time though. If you had 24 lights, just program 2 lights per fixture to do what you want.

  • @john-carlosynostroza
    @john-carlosynostroza ปีที่แล้ว

    This was great! For some reason when I programmed a Chase under bank one and then I programmed a different one based on scenes I hadn't Bank to when I press the auto button it runs a chase that goes through all of the colors I have under scenes in bank one and then automatically keeps rolling and plays the scenes in bank to and then it starts over. Why is it running from bank-to-bank? I only wanted to run One Bank of time... Any thoughts appreciated you are putting up great content!

    Awesome video’s as always! Like others, I appreciate you taking the time to show us “how to”, to make us all better!
    I do have a question though. In the beginning of your video you typed on the screen “make sure your dmx controller is on the RED channel”. How does one do that??? I have the Rockville Rockforce 192 with a Donner wireless transmitter plugged in the back of the controller. I’ve placed my RF4 on the “Red” (light blue”) channel and I get nothing. I’m not sure what I’m NOT doing right. Any ideas……???
    Thanks again for your time Sir!

    • @DJ2Legit007
      @DJ2Legit007  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      All you have to do is set your donner to the actual RED color. Donner on red. RF4 on light blue. Donner will start blinking green when connected.

    Just a question; why didn’t you go for the Rockville mini rf3s or rf4s that allow you to DMX 4 different channels and have 4 different sound modes and are basically the same price and have US based support? I enjoy your videos and style 👍

    • @DJ2Legit007
