Hi, I think that I may be missing something..

I have just setup freestyler and it's all working how I want - I have a few chases setup, which I can trigger using keyboard shortcuts from within freestyler. What I can't work out how to do is be able to do that whilst in VDJ. I know that the "Generate Script" button is meant to let me generate the vdjscript to be able to control these things, but it only ever gives me the script "set $fsvalue 0 & set $fscommand 28", no matter what I put in the bar at the top, or the value section.

I have tried manually editing the "command" section of the script - apart from for commands 1 + 2 - which control "Favourite" and "Blackout", I can't seem to make it do anything?

All I want to do is use the following commands:

Trigger Chases
Pause S2L
Manual Trigger

Other than that, I'm happy.. Currently it syncs through and the chases are changing according to the beat of the music - which is awesome - but it would be perfect with the controls.. :)

Thanks very much for your work (and your help!)

Another example, this one triggers override button #3

set $fsvalue 255 & set $fscommand 68

Are you trying to trigger a sequence, a sub master, an override?

I'm trying to trigger sequences mainly...

I'm not new to DMXing - just new to freestyler. I've used lighting boards for all this before now but I don't want to drag one around anymore when I can have everything in my laptop..

Is there a list somewhere of what command number each command refers to?

Thanks,

There is a list on the freestyler support website

You can also look in the TCP/IP section here

However, I find the command generator makes it easier

That's the thing - I can't get the command generator to work for me. All it does is give me "set $fsvalue 0 & set $fscommand 28" as the output, no matter what I set as the input action or the value..

Help?

Thanks,

Are you using VDJ8 and Freestyler8? Are they the newest releases?

set $fsvalue 255 & set $fscommand 505

should start sequence 1, then it counts up from there.

set $fsvalue 255 & set $fscommand 514

for sequence 10

set $fsvalue 255 & set $fscommand 524

for sequence 20

set $fsvalue 255 & set $fscommand 525

should stop sequence 1, then it counts up from there.

I created these commands from within the plugins generator. We should still try to figure out why your values are not changing.

Am I being completely stupid? Probably!

I cannot download the Freestyler8 plug for VDJ8. I get a message saying that:

"Sorry, the link you have used is not valid anymore."

Anyone help me with the correct link?

Thanks

There is an issue with the site at the moment, hopefully things will be back to normal soon!

Hi All,

Has anyone got VDJ8 and Freestyler working over a wireless network?
Ideally want to split over 2 laptops but second laptop doesn't have RJ45 network port... have to buy a breakout cable.

Was wondering if I need to open up some port or something, tho can't see anyone mentioning a setup over WiFi.

Have the know how and the gear to setup local hosted network at a gig to ensure security etc blah blah
Just testing at home first whilst I configure everything!

Cheers

:)

NEVER MIND, just noticed a wireless icon on freestyler and that the test light cycles colours when audio is playing!!!
It's working in other words!!!

I have used VDJ8 on one laptop with the plugin sending commands to another laptop running freestyler.

I believe you need to have port 3332 allowed in the firewall.

Why only for pro?? I have licence only for one controller, but I want it too. This is unfair.

Only the Pro version is capable of using a plugin of this type. The Plus version cannot.

.. due to the licence (money). Technically it is possible to úse it. So if I bought licence for 1 controller (for home party), I cant use DMX light sync to the with VDJ. I´m angry.

you can use something like http://vb-audio.pagesperso-orange.fr/Cable/
this tool grab the audio signal and let Freestyler react to sound

It's got nothing to do with money, there is a technical reason as to why this plugin cannot work with plus.

It would actually be possible to make a different version of the plugin that worked with plus however.

It would be perfect, if will be possible to make a different version for plus licence
