don731 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Purchased my first Pixie 2D V3 this year. If I want to run these two ribbons in DMX, how do I set the colors and effects? I see in the manual the starting DMX address (based on unit number), but I am clueless as to how to set the other DMX numbers, for say, the entire ribbon as steady blue, red, etc.. I couldn't find any tutorials. I am licensed at the full advanced level. Thanks! Don in Barrington IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 If I’m understanding your question, each pixel takes three channels - one for each of the primary colors. Then the next pixel takes the next three channels. So if the starting address is DMX channel 65 (for example), pixel 1R is 65, P1G is 66, P1B is 67, P2R is 68, P2G is 69, P2B is 70, etc. Make sense?

don731 Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Jim, What I am looking for is a method to set the entire ribbon to a particular color, then change to another color during the song. Can the Pixel editor be used in a DMX mode? I haven’t used the Pixel editor at all, just the sequence editor and superstar editor. Or can the superstar editor just be used with these Pixies? Thanks!

Dennis Laff Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 When you create a prop in PE. You select DMX. And then add the universe and start channel for that prop ,what kind of prop are you making with the strips ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don731 Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Just using the ribbons as background wall washers...nothing fancy. Change color on the entire ribbon a few times during the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Don the pixel editor is your best bet for creating the effects on your strips ., What controllers are you using for the strips ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Either Pixel Editor or SuperStar or Sequence Editor can do that. Very easy in any of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The controller that came with the ribbons. I use a separate DMX output from the laptop to a DMX laser. Works great, and easy to program in the sequence editor. Not looking for anything fancy from these 2 new ribbons, just solid color with no movement changing to other solid colors during the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
