I have a Lixada model thats basically the exact same thing as this dmx controller and I am impressed with how flexible these are! Thank you for explaining so thoroughly the way to create chases! Greatly appreciated!
You are good at this. I could do that. All the other tutorials mumble their words and make things up as they go along. Very patronising! That was really good that, thanks!
Hi bro, thanks for the short training. Quick one pls. How do i input my led light IP into the Controller? Do i need to operate the device on auto mode or manual mode? Thank you, cheers.
Many thnx for the explanation, I try to get along with it, but one option (fader) does not work at all, as you know there is a Speed fader and a FadeTime fader, but only the FadeTime fader does not work, it does not influence the light show whatsoever, the transitions are hard, there is no way to create the fade effect....please advise....thnx
One confusing thing on every video is when a scanner button is referred to as a fixture. When in fact you can have multiple fixtures on one scan because it’s channel 1-16 for scanner 1. I have a 13 channel mini spider and so for my flame machine it’s set to channel 14-15. Maybe that seems easier for some people to break up lights by starting at channel 17 for the next light but that leaves empty space of unused channels
So now you have a loop. Isnt that a big problem when performing songs that has a drop in it? Can you run a chase and click scenes in other banks at the same time to show a stroboscope for example
Hi! Is it possible to edit a bank in a Chase afterwards without resetting the other banks? (so i can change chases simply without setting up the whole light show?)
If I have 8 lights how do I program a chase with different colors? I am having a very hard time understanding this setup. Do the channels on the lights need to be set to something different? I am adjusting all the lights at the same time, not like how you are controlling each individual light. Help me please:)
Hey man great video ! I have the same controller but when I put my 4 par lights to auto color fade ( channel 6 I think ? ) the lights don't stay in sync for very long . I'm using a terminator . The lights aren't expensive . Any thoughts ?
Hey! There are a couple different ways to do this - by setting different scenes, setting all the different lights to different DMX Addresses and to just also sync them together through a Sound Activated Mode if all the lights have a built in Microphone - we we will make more videos that expound on different DMX topics!
We are looking for LED Pars for our small church building and possibly youth/kids dept. ceiling height is approx. 11ft. I need mostly white but would like to mix some colors for speaker and music lighting. What LED PARS do you recommend to use with this Rockforce controller? and also can you recommend cables needed?ThanksDC
Hey Daryl, I would recommend the Best Par 50's and A Rockforce W2 Wireless DMX Controller! They are avaiable in white and we sell them in an 8 Pack here: www.rockvilleaudio.com/best-pack-50-white/ And with the Rockforce W2: www.rockvilleaudio.com/rockforce-w2/
Is it possible to create a pause in a chase? Like fixtures changing scenes in the chase then pause for a second to hold their current color/position etc for a second or 2? Is it possible to add the same scene multiple times in a chase to create a pause like that?
I cheated this a little and just made several steps which are the same- so as it cycles through 8 steps (one on each beat) the last three steps (beats) are exactly the same. In appearance it would look like green/red/green/red/green/white/white/white if that makes any sense. The last three beats of that sequence are just white lights staying on.
Hey! you can either overwrite Chases, or you can delete all the scenes in a bank by: 1. Press and Hold the PROGRAM and the BANK DOWN buttons while turning the power off. 2. Turn the controller on. This process is irreversible and all the scenes will be set to 0. Let me know if this helped!
I bought this controller, but for some reason is not controlling my lights. Is there any other video that explains the connection to light fixtures. What kind of light fixtures were used for this video?
you have to assign the addresses on each light fixture. download the chauvet obey 4 manual (you can google that) and follow along. this controller, the obey 4 and the chinese generic version DMX 512 are very similar.
You explain this better than the other five tutorials I've seen. Well done.
This is one of the best programming tutorials. You can even use this on different DMX controllers. Love the video.
glad I could help!

This sure answered a lot of questions for me. Now to practice what you have taught me. Thanks.
Its easy to pick up. Nice programming tutorials. The BEST!
Thanks. My controller is working great! Very clear explanation.
Are the individual fixtures chained together directly from the controller or is there an intermediate signal splitter for each fixture?
Rockville is G.O.A.T.

Great tutorial! Is it possible to manually change scenes and have a smooth fade transition? But only when you click to the next scene.
thats when the speed faders come in to the play. the two singled out faders by the program buttons.
Good tutorial,I have exactly like this but its seem not to be working with my dmx stage light. What could be the cause?

Great video. How do you delete a chase?

I have the Rockville Motionstrip.. and I am wondering if I can cycle through the automatic channels with this controller ?

Where I don't get is the banks. Did you also program the light on bank 2?
Best tutorial
Could you adjust music mode sensitivity? Also, would a dmx controller be needed if I just want music mode and master-slave for all lights?
Excellent tutorial thanks
Great video!!
Longshot: can anyone take a picture of the manual and upload it somewhere? I accidentally throw mine away 😂😂😅
Whats the DMX channel number for EACH of the 4 roc/par 50's???
Hey man great video !
I have the same controller but when I put my 4 par lights to auto color fade ( channel 6 I think ? ) the lights don't stay in sync for very long . I'm using a terminator . The lights aren't expensive .
Any thoughts ?
thanks for this video it helped a lot
I have this same controller. There is no midi imput but it there is a midi button on the controller. How do you use midi imput with this controller?
Finally!!!
Is there a tutorial to control different types of lights that are stringed together via DMX?
Hey! There are a couple different ways to do this - by setting different scenes, setting all the different lights to different DMX Addresses and to just also sync them together through a Sound Activated Mode if all the lights have a built in Microphone - we we will make more videos that expound on different DMX topics!
How many rack spaces does it take up? 2u? 3u?
Hao we use dmx512 in music mode with beat matching
It's awesome.

How to delete a particular bank and chase???
Hey! you can either overwrite Chases, or you can delete all the scenes in a bank by: 1. Press and Hold the PROGRAM and the BANK DOWN buttons while turning the power off. 2. Turn the controller on. This process is irreversible and all the scenes will be set to 0.
