Cyc Programming

Question

I have a cyc that is lit by four sets of ordinary three element flood lights that are gelled red, green, and blue. Each element is independent from the others and has its own power and thus it's own channel. 
 
 So my question is: is there any way to get my ion console to think of the three color instruments as a single RGB fixture similar to an led fixture. I would like to be able to use an encoder to set the color and the ion to programatically vary the relative intensities of the three elements. 
 Right now I have to control all twelve lights individually, for solid colors that is no problem, I have three submasters that control the intensity of each color, For non-solids like gradients, however, I have to set the level individually for each of the 12 elements which tends to be a bit tedious especially when trying to make subtle adjustments. 
 I hope that makes sense and thanks for any help you can offer.

Set it up as generic LED_RGB. All you need to do is make sure the DMX addresses for each set of 3 cells are contiguous (i.e. 41(Red),42(Green),43(Blue). 
 In my case I found the colour picker to be red-shifted due to differences in transmitivity of the gels but was able to balance it out by changing the max intensity of the red dimmers in the rack. I expect I could use curves but I haven't experimented with that part of the manual yet.
