Manual Control over a DMX Channel

[Tenersaxman3000]

I have 4 LED color rail units on my house,

These have 8 Cells of RGB DMX Channels. The down fall to these units is there is an over all " Dimmer Control " Channel that enables 0 - 255 intensity control of the RGB Led's

in example of channel mapping Such is mapped -
RGB 1-3
RGB 4-6
RGB 7-9
RGB 10-12
RGB 13-15
RGB 16-18
RGB 19-21
RGB 22-24
DIMMER 25


Is there a way in the software to turn just certain DMX Channel numbers to be steady " ON " ? in this example Channel 25 to be fully "ON" all the time?

I have been trying a work around by creating the needed dimmer channel per LED unit in LOR as ALL ON and then exporting just these 4 Channels needed into Xlites, however have not been successful in getting the DMX channels to be steady on at a value of 255.

I am able to turn on the channels in TEST, but can not keep them on when running effects etc.

Ideas?

In NC, you would create a model and set the channel to 25. Call it Dimmer for this example

Set the model type to single color white. In 3.6 you can set the model brightness, I would set that to 100 to start.

Select your model you created (Dimmer) , use the color wash effect and set the color to white and use the slider to set the value.  This should then control your RGB channels 1-24 if they are slaved to ch 25 via the hardware controller. 

I would select the OUTPUT TO LIGHTS button and use the sliders until I got the effect I wanted, then save that effect setting as a preset.

I've used this technique to turn on some single channel things like my tune to sign, an inflatable, my nativity blowmolds.  Works great.
