Hi. I have My DMX 2.1 and 4x Mega Tripar Profile Plus units.
I would like to create a scene that effectively makes the units respond to sound, rather than a pre-programmed scene, just as if the units were set to sound activated mode on their own. I see you can set the fixture to be in sound activated mode in "Channel 7" - however the fixture doesn't seem to want to do anything. When out of DMX mode and in "manually set" sound activated mode - it works fine. Any tips would be really appreciated.

Did you ever find a solution to this?
No unfortunately not
Six years sheesh.....
Very frustrating
Hello all, we know this is an old thread but has anyone tried putting channel 9 to value 255 to increase the sensitivity of the sound active mic?
you can confirm this function by checking the DMX chart from the user manual of the fixtures.
Yes. Something odd seems to happen, the lights seems not to want to respond to mic inputs. Others can check too. Happy to be corrected!
When you say "Mic input" you are referring to the mic on each fixture? AKA sound active mode?
Yes
Even with channel 9 all the way at 255?
We are trying to look into it.
Yes, even with sensitivity turned up to maximum.
I would welcome others test results.
Its a good use case - switching between random music sound control and preset scenes
Seems useful to me?
Yes, is this something you can take a short video of and post here or on youtube and link us? We'd like to see the exact method so we can test this ourselves.
Thank you.
A video won't be enormously helpful. The issue is as exactly described in the original post. With the lights in DMX mode and connected successfully, if set to Sound Control mode is activated (channel 7) and the sensitivity set max, the lights stay dark and do not respond to audio from speakers. If the light is disconnected from DMX and sound activated mode set, they respond fine and change colours according to music volume.

Hi, we are trying to assist you, please if you can, make a video showing us the channel mode and the address and how they behave to DMX and then the sound active DMX preset. This will help us troubleshoot.
