Hi, I have asked the company (ADJ in this case) and they have always just made me profiles rather than explain, here are some on going problems I have.

1 I use jamstar elites as cans, they have CH 1 as strobe, dimmer, scroll, etc. When I first made profiles they dimmed a bit then off, the profile I made is gone, the one from ADJ just works on/off on the dimmer, but will disrupt strobe, so can tell its still effecting ch 1, but not dimming. Should I maybe assign dim to RGB and dim those chs, and if so how?
2. I have 3 Mega Pannels, have gotten 2 profiles from ADJ. It thinks its in 13 mode, but when u change values for red,g,b 2-4 nothing happens, when I got the first profile, same thing, except it read ch 4 data, not 1-3. CH 1, although visible on the screen, does nothing, it can't dim or strobe, etc. It also does not respond to scene off or blackout, the only way I can turn them off is to go to a scene where they werent programmed. (Basically functions in 3 ch mode despite displaying 13 ch)
3. I have generic RGB 6 ch cans and use the generic profile for it, ONLY red dims smoothly and correctly, GB stay on, but do respond to scene off/blackout
4. When I first did my profiles, if u taped the same scene button twice, it would stay on the same scene but say it was off on the screen, now when I do this, it shuts all the lights off (except the pannels which wont go off), this is a big deal b/c if I accidentally hit one twice, the band is in near darkness!!!!
5. When I did my profiles they all changed via turning the knob, now some profiles are on off by pressing the button, how does that happen.
I'd be so greatful, been plaugued by all this since day one (almost 3 yrs now!) it didnt occur to me to post here HELP!!!

Illuminati,
Please email me the profiles that were sent to you and the manuals of the fixtures so I can review them. I'll need to see the profiles so that I can see if there's a problem. We can tweak them out so that they work as you need them to. We try to create the profiles as accurate as possible and can only go by what's on the manual, but in some cases what benefits some people might not benefit others.

my email address is sergioc@americandj.com
I am not sure what I can send you, most of it was on my old computer. The elites never had manuals, they had a little info online but that company doesnt exist. But I know they're CH1 function, CH2 speed, 3=R,4=G, 5=B, the CH 1 is split up into functions as well. The generic cans might not have a manual either, theyre 1=r, 2=G, 3=B, 4=W, 5=function, 6=rate....I use the 6CH generic that came w/ the board, ONLY ch 1 (red dims)
The rest of my fixtures (Mega Panels and TriPhases)are ADJ, so I imagine they're stock ones, got 2 versions and both operated as if 3 ch despite having 13 ch onscreen.

I am so greatful for yr response...do you think I can fix these problems, all fixture are capable of dimming but only the triPhases dim correctly....
Illuminati,
All three ADJ fixtures that you listed are dimmable, it's probably just a profile error.

Can you send me an email with a complete list of fixtures that you need so I can create all the channel modes available? (This includes the non-ADJ fixtures as well)

Keep in mind that when changing channel modes on the Magic 260, that you also have to change the mode on the fixture as well.
