HELP! Atuo-Mate/DMX

i could be wrong but i think to program your own scenes for your lights, you will need a dmx operator or another dmx programming controller. from what i understand, the auto mate executes scenes and executes sound active mode, but it cannot create its own scenes or chases. you would probably be better off with a dmx operator I or II for programming, and then you would connect that to the auto mate and feed it your own scenes and chases to override the pre-programmed ones. i am not very knowledgable in this area but i hope this helps-jay

What light is it for?

Also go back and yell at them, LOL telling them that they sold you the wrong one, who cares if their closing, don't make a really big scene but nicely talk to them and see if they can exchange one for the one you need. (if they have it in stock) if not go to a friendly local dealer bring in your automate and ask them if they can reprogram it for you with there DMX operator of something. (i think you can reprogram it)

Phil,
I will be using two DJ Scans & two DJ Scan/RGs.
The deal is that this controller was marked down to $20.00, so if I can get it reprogramed it will be worth my wild! Can you offer any more suggestions on reprogramming? Also one of my DJ Scan/RGs if acting strange. Every now and then the gobo will be just a big bright ball of light and it will stay that way rotating, and the other Scan/RG wont rotate? Any suggestions?

Hey Monty,
I live in Austin and might be interested in taking that Auto-Mate off your hands... I've got 4 pocket scans... whaddaya think?

I thought about doing just that (selling it), but I called American DJ (the great company they are!) and they offered to reprogram it for me. Cool huh. Plus, I have to send in the two Scan/RG's that I just baught cuz one of the gobos is stuck on one, and they wont sinc up. Thanks for asking though.

ADJ is the bomb, LOL i am on the phone with them right now, my SOLO keeps freezing up on me. Good Luck!
