patching D40's

Trying to patch D40 Lustr+ with Stage choice on the ML. The only selection I can find is D40Lustr+Dir+S and it is only 9 channels. I want to set the fixtures for Stage which require 14 channels. The only way I have been able to get any results is select General instead of Stage which is 9 channels and Direct for the DMX Profile. When I select Stage the fixture comes on all led's full and won't operate at all from the ML. When I go into advanced and select Direct then it switches from 14 channels to 9 channels and partially works on the ML. When I go back and select Stage again it goes back to 14 channels and it comes back on full on its own.

Doing something wrong?

    ah sorry jeff, didn't realize that you posted this in smartfade forum, i thought it was about your ion.

    i just looked at the contents of the most recent library for smartfade, which is 10.4.0 (to be found here: http://community.etcconnect.com/control_consoles/f/12/t/9865 ) and it lists quick setups General, High Impact, Studio, XT Architectural. all the +7 modes (which includes QS stage) are not there, probably because smartfade doesn't understand the parameters RedAdjust, GreenAdjust and so on. i guess, you will have to look for a different mode on smartfade

    Makes sense. Thanks. Last night, since I couldn't find that mode I decided to patch with General Direct DMX 9 channels and in case something came up to allow Stage I could re-patch. When I patched in General Direct DMX I came up with an interesting thing picking colors and I posted it with no replies as of yet. Basically every color picked includes white full, so I had to turn off white in every color and re-record that particular palette. Now when picking the colors white is off. That was a lot of extra work and can't be right. White follows for some reason and I don't understand why. Also when I recorded red with red only at full and all other colors at zero, red comes up with a trace of indigo and green in it. Can't get rid of that.
