Changing a fixture type in a recorded show

Question

Hello! 
 
 I have a recorded show that was created using some DTS Katanas for cyc lights. Now we will be performing in a smaller theatre, where we'll use some VERY generic static 6-chan LEDs for the cyc lighting (Dim-RGBW-Strobe). 
 
 When I try to replace the fixture type, from Katanas to Generic IRGBW (+offset), all the show data gets messed up. It looks like EOS is linking the addresses in order, instead of identifying their function. 
 
 When I use a software like QLC+, specifically their Remap function, I just have to point that Katanas are now Generic IRGBW, and the software links Katana-Red with Generic-Red and so on. I was expecting EOS to do the same, but it looks like it links channel 1 to channel 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3 etc., regardless of what each channel does. 
 
 What should I do?

Thank you for your report. 
 I tried to follow your instructions but can't see a problem. Yes, there are situations where Eos does color translations but this isn't one of those. 
 I started with a DTS Katana Standard, recorded in cue 1 with RGBW = 100/0/0/0 and changed the type to IRGBW. I left it patched to an address (this does not affect the translation) and the result is still 100/0/0/0. 
 Can you please specify which software version you're using and which exact mode of Katana? If you have a showfile that demonstrates your problem feel free to send it to eos(dot)moderator(at)etcconnect(dot)com.
