Many thanks and really appreciate your time and help Tarekith! I'm glad I found your post as I was on the fence with the ILS Command and I'm glad I made the jump to the WMX1 with your feedback.

Awesome to hear Tarekith. Can you share the profile? I’ve taken a stab at trying to create one but am still having trouble grasping the process.

Yeah I was looking at the 51 channel file earlier and the format isn’t what I have typically seen. I’m still new to the lighting world but I think it breaks down to being:

Channel 33 = Laser Pattern
Pattern 1: 0-7
Pattern 2: 8-15
Pattern 3: 16-23
Pattern 4: 24-31
Pattern 5: 32-39

Etc…

Yeah I’ll update you with any new info I run into.

I asked about it on the Chauvet DJ Users Group on FB and they said that the firmware was uploaded just today and the documentation by the end of the week. They changed the number of DMX channels adding the laser control which are now on channel 20 or 33.

Hey Tarekith, I wanted to thank you for helping me decide to switch from the ILS Command to the WMX1. I’m really happy with it even with the small list of cons. I wanted to let you know that there was a new firmware 2.10 for the Move+ILS today which now adds a DMX channel to control the laser patter...

That’s great to hear. I placed an order for one so I appreciate the help!

Thank you both Tarekith & Axell for the clarification. I understand much more now. Being new to lighting I was captivated by the Gigbar’s ease of use and the minimal amount of effort required to get a lightshow going. This was my intent as I just wanted to add some flair as I’m mixing a set to d...

Tarekith, Thank you for the detailed response. It was exactly the type of answer I was looking for with the pros and cons. I might have to consider another option now as I really want to keep my interaction to a minimum though I was willing to do so with the variety of effects that the WMX1 has comp...
