Issue In Patch - EOS

I gotta ask the question....why not just have each channel 'set' of LEDs addressed identically??

 You are not gaining any extra control by having them addressed seperately but patched to the same channel. And it would mean the syntax 601 thru 608 Address 5/1 would patch all your units sequentially as you want them.

Or have I missed something?

I can't speak for Bryan, but I know for myself, in one venue I work in, we have 20 scrollers that are "permanently" individually addressed to something up in the 400's. Then depending on how they are used in the show, if we have a couple we want to control together, its easier (at least to me) to just patch them together than to actually re-address the fixture and worry about someone changing the label on the back of the unit. While scrollers aren't that bad to address, I can imagine if you are working with a bunch of ColorBlasts / iCove etc... you'd rather want to patch them together rather than re-zapi them every show.

Just my personal thinking.

Fair point!

... or you can keep them apart, and work them as a group... Thats what I do.
