2 scrollers, 1 dimmer

2 source 4s one the same dimmer, each with a scroller.  

How do I calibrate or adjust one scroller without changing the other?  

I currently have the dimmer (2 lights) and one scroller on channel 60.  The second scroller I have on a different channel, so I can control and adjust it separately.  However, I cannot mark it, as it does not have the dimmer attached to it.  I could give it a phantom intensity dimmer.  However, I'd rather be able to adjust it as a part 2 of channel 60.

Is this possible? other ideas or options?

Thanks for your input

    Go into [Patch] select your channel and add the fixture 'Scroller' found in 'Generic'

    Press [Patch] then [Fixtures] and [Copy] 'Scroller' and then [Edit] it.

    All you should need to do is hit [New] and change the parameter to Scroller 2, then set all of the range settings to exactly the same as the 'Scroller' parameter.

     

    Now apply your new fixture hit [Fixture] and apply your two scrollers to your fixture.

     

    The only problem with this method is both Scrollers will be changed when using the colour picker (hue/Saturation) if both are the same. If there not the same the colour picker seems not to work at all, but you will have individual control on the encoders and they'll mark just fine.
