Varytec Hero Spot Wash Color wheel

Post by MPGTechnikTeam »

Hello, fellow Woflmix community,
we recently bought a new moving head for our school theatre in combination with the Woflmix, just because we wanted to try that out and add a little spice to our shows.

Now, the moving head was the Varytec Hero Spot Wash 140 2in1, with 4 wash LEDs and a spotlight in the middle. Everything works fine with moving, gobos, etc., but we couldn't figure out, how to control the color wheel of the spotlight. We were able to change that in Live Edit, but not with the color or color FX function on the Wolfmix like we have seen it work in other videos.
When removing the 4 RGB+W channels in the configuration, but leaving the color wheel channel intact, the Woflmix just decides that it has no way of changing the color, while it in reality does through the color wheel.

Have we done anything wrong or is the Wolfmix just not capable of doing that yet? I have seen it work with other heads and scanners with color wheels though.

The moving head in question: https://www.thomannmusic.com/varytec_he ... _rgbww.htm

Thanks in advance,
MPG stage team

Use a "tailored" Profile with 2 beams and separate the Spot (Color Wheel) from the Wash (RGB) and split to 2 (control) Groups:
Group A = Movements and Spot ColorWheel Control
Group B = RGB Wash Color Control

download the attached profile, when loading you'll be asked to "split" the fixture - confirm with YES. Assign to group A
After that you have 2 (sub/linked) Fixtures. Change the -2 fixture to Group B

Now you have full control of the Spot and the Wash

Thank you so much! That's awesome. Is there a way to not assign the wash to anything? I currently don't need it which means I could save a group. Not really important right now, but I guess it'd be nice to know.
