If you know at what address the attribute are, why not just patch it as a dimmer?
If you want the colors on a Led moving head on faders I would have recorded R G B on separated faders and then used mode 2.
All best!

Thanks
I know the channels

Of course, it's easiest to do several "dimmer" channels and addressing them right!
Had every nice with wheels RGB
You can not go into the right light fixture and only move if the channels??

While there are situations that might justify patching as dimmers, most of the time it is advantageous to use a fixture.
For this particular example the option already exists as generic fixtures (and probably hundreds of others!). See
Generic RGB mode = 'Dimmer + RGB, 4 DMX'.
There are numerous other combinations to cover LED fixtures. Some instructions
here. However, regarding adjusting things yourself, you can do this via Personality Builder by going to Patch/[Edit Fixture]/[Edit Personality]/[<select fixture>]. In Personality Builder expand the modes tree on the left if it is not already. Click on the mode you want to edit. Select the 'Channels' tab at the bottom and then change the channel values in the grid by clicking in the relevant cells. When you're done save from file menu and Titan will ask if you want to update the file in the show.

Yes fixture is the best.
Thanks for the info! Have been looking for the right fixure or similar but not found the right.
The example I gave in the thread was just an example.
My LEDtube with power supply unit is something special but is only 4 channels fixed the power supply is on 10 channels with many NC
Will try and edit a fixture!
A thousand thanks for your help

This is what I often do:
Patch "generic" -> "RGB,3 DMX"
This is a generic fixture with RGB and a virtual dimmer. I than just patch a separate dimmer channel which I record at 100 percent under a virtual playback. I set this playback at very high priority(if SWOP is used). I let this playback Always on. I than use the virtual dimmer as dimmer.
The advantage of this is that I can use the same personality file without editing for all different kind of LED pars and Always have a dimmer channel.
I use this because I own a few LED pars of Multiform which have RGB + Dimmer/shutter. So the dimmer and shutter are at the same channel which is really annoying. I also have some other LED pars which are RGB and RGB + D. With this I can combine all these at the same way.

Good suggestion. Note that you could also freeze the dimmer at the required level to avoid having to fire it or worry about swop and priorities.
