Hello, How do I patch multiple dmx addresses to one channel and how to do patch multiple stage pin addresses to one channel all on a etc ion thanks, Alex

Alex,

Open the Patch tab (Tab 12).

Make sure that you are in Channel order, so that the left column title is "Chan". If not, press the [Format] key.

Type your channel number, then "at", then  the list of your addresses or dimmers. For example:

1 at 2+8+17+19

This will patch addresses 2 and 8 and 17 and 19 to Channel 1. You will see that Channel 2 has 4 parts, each with an address.

If you need to patch an address in a specific universe (above 512), then you would use Universe/Address, like

2 at 2/57+59+61

This will patch addresses 57 and 59 and 61 from the second universe to channel 2.

It's the same process for "stage pin" addresses - they are just addresses that correspond to the dimmers in your venue.

There are good Ion training videos that cover this - you can watch them them at http://www.etcconnect.com/EosFamilyVideos/Level-1/

Hello, can I do the opposite? If I want to patch adresses 2, 8, 17 and 19 to four channels starting at channel 1 (then 2, 3, 4 ) without typing one by one, can I do that? Like I could on Cobalt? Thank you for your reply

No, this is currently not possible in one command line.
