  • I doubt it!

    Everything I patch that requires more than one address is My choice for the First channel and automaticly selects the next addresses until it has enough.

    However.......................................................

    In my spare nonshow time(notmuch) I'm attempting to get our Cyc Lights to do something similar. But I have the need for 2 channel(color, Red/Blue) controll of 8 dimmers. My space doesn't allow for RGB in my 3-cell cyc lights,I don't like it much.  If I get it, I'll post the fixture.

  • I think I found a work around for you.

    Start with a Generic- LED RGB.

    Copy the fixture 3 times to create 3 Custom Fixture, and call them Red, Green, and Blue.

    Edit each of the fixture. For the Red Fixture, select the DMX Channels of Green, and Blue, and enter "0". This will keep the attribute, but remove the control channel. Make sure you keep all remaining attributes (Green, Blue, Intensity, Hue, Saturation, and Brightness).

    Do the same for the Green and Blue channels, but remove the DMX control for Red and Blue, and Red and Green respectively.

    Once the custom fixtures have been created, you can select the control channel for your cyc fixtures. Create 3 parts, and make each part your custom fixture of Red, Green, and Blue.

    You can assign a different dimmer to each part.

    Good luck. Hope this works.
