Nanlite Pavotube + Enttec Ode Mk3

Hi there - I’m controlling four Nanlite Pavotubes via an Enttec ode mk3.

To date I’ve been sending HSI values to each tube via a software called Vézer. The fixtures are properly addressed and the communication works fine in Vézer.

I’d like to try and set this up in Max and Max4Live, Am looking for something simple to start. Just mapping some midi controllers to hue, intensity, and saturation.

You all don’t have the pavotubes as a preset fixture. Is there a way I can just manually, simply send to an art-net address? The tubes are currrently set as DMX channel one is the hue, 2, the saturation, three the intensity…

I’ve been reading through the documentation, but am not sure where to start with this simple design, any help would be appreciated thanks.

i’m pretty sure you can manually send dmx messages, though i haven’t tried that myself yet

but if you already have/know the channel list etc., i’ve had some success creating profiles with this editor:
https://fixtureeditor.surge.sh/

u drop them in “Max 8\Packages\Beam for Max\misc\profiles” + then they should be available as profiles in the beam patch editor

The [beam.dmxio] object allows you to manually specify DMX values by passing a dict with values via set_dmx_output message. This allows you to work with raw DMX values and bypass Beam’s fixture and tagging system.

On the long term, I would recommend creating a fixture profile for the Nanlites as it’ll unlock loads of creative possibilities, but to just get something working quickly, [beam.dmxio] is a perfectly fine way too.
