multiple channels on one address? (i know...)

i know, no lighting desk i know of can do that, but hey, why not? i was thinking, e.g. when on tour, it happens sometimes that i instead of two different spots for one position i just use one. i can't see a reason why i shouldn't be able to patch two channels into one address? of course there would have to be rules to decide what happens if both channels have a level. that could be HTP, i think.

so, is there a real reason, why i can't do this (other than that the desk simply doesn't let me do it)?

thanks in advance, Ueli

  • There was only one desk I can think of that did it this was round, the Strand Galaxy. But then you could only patch 2 channel to one dimmer, you couldn't patch one channel to 2 dimmers!!

    Not really what you where after I know but to be honest just from a display point of view I have no idea how you would be able show the information in a coherent manner. Plus it would very easily lead to a lot of patch mistakes and I need no help in that department.
