Issue In Patch - EOS

I just attempted to patch 32 LED fixtures into 8 channels on my EOS (1-4 at channel 601, 5-8 chan 602 etc).

I went into patch and typed 601-608 type Generic RGBA

The started patching patching with 601 Address 5/1+5 + 9 + 13

This created 4 additional parts for channel 601, made them dimmer and left part 1 as an RGBA with no address addigned.  

When I type 601 type RGBA it only modifies part 1, so now since I can't select multiple parts of a channel I need to go through and manually change parts 2-5 to RGBA and delete Part 1. 

Is there some different way I should be going about this to make this quicker?

  • So I think I read your question differently.

    I read your post as you having 32 individually addressed RGBA Units. So Unit 1 is DMX 1-4, unit 2 is DMX 5-8 and so on. You then want to patch 4 LED units per single channel. So channel 601 needs to have 4 parts, each part as an RGBA generic. Is that right?

    If not, then sorry for hijacking the thread, but my question to others out there is if they would find it helpful that a channel in Patch auto assume that any newley created parts are of the same type as the initial channel so that Bryan's above syntax would work? Of course having a  Thru would be great as then the syntax could  be 601 Part 1-4 Address 5/1? Just wondering if its just me.
