Varytec Retro Blinder OCTO 380 - Assigning COB LEDs to own group?

Post by Marvin042 »

Hi, I'm thinking of getting myself a retro blinder, e.g. Varytec Retro Blinder OCTO 380. Found the profile in the Wolfmix library, loaded it into my Wolfmix but it only appears as one fixture to be assigned to one group only. When adding it, it also did not ask for seperating it into single beams.
Is it anyhow possible to control the three COB LEDs independent from the integrated RGB ambience LEDs? E.g. I would want to turn the ambinece LEDs to a value of 100% while the blinder COB LEDs should only be dimmed to 50%. Or: The three COB LEDs should "rotate" slowly while the ambience LEDs stay on blue constantly. In 31-channel-mode for example each COB LED and also each ambience segment is controlable seperately.

you want to edit the profile to splt between

1) the 3 background color sections with different beams 1-3 and
2) the 3 amber stripes in the center

for separate dimmer and on/off control of the 2 sections.
The "Rotation" can then be accomplished by BeamFX, flipping through the 3 background color beam segments, simulating sort of a rotation.

Its all possible in the profile to configure ...

OK - sounds good! Just posted the request for that as helpdesk ticket, so I assume I will get a modifyed profile then by the Wolfmix team?

dunno if the team is creating special request profiles. Normally they just do "standard" profiles.
best is to do make your own profile via Profile Builder (cloud.nicolaudiegroup.com) - or find somone who can deliver after your request - its individually after all
