Turning on individual beam in Shehds Beam 8x12

Beam for Live
1

Hi, I’m new to the whole lighting thing.

I was able to connect my Shehds LED Beam 8x12 RGBW to Beam 2.0 and abletone live 12. I’m using Enttec USB Pro to connect to my PC which is in windows.

I managed to turn on the beam and do some tilt control using generic instrument in Ableton using Beam plugin, but I can’t seem to figure out how to control individual lights in my beam. For example, I want to turn on left 3 beams out of 8 beams that is part of the Shehds LED Beam 8x12 RGBW.

Something that looks like [000XXXXX].

Any idea how to achieve this using the plug in? I can only turn on and off the whole beam. (selecting program in the paramter option seems to be triggering a preset program that involves controling the individual lights, but I do want full control instead of a preset).

Hi @sungjin0627, welcome!

As a reference for anyone else coming across this thread, fixtures like Shehds LED Beam 8x12 RGBW are basically many sub-fixtures within a fixture:

You can address individual cells of such a fixture in the same ways you can address individual fixtures within a Beam tag group:

I made a video that demonstrates this:

You can also use the Spread parameter of Beam’s LFO effect device to spread the effect across the cells.
