Feature Request: Redshift in Direct Mode - Source 4 LED Series 3 Lustr X8

Hi,

I have 15 S4LED Series 3 Lustr X8's and I'm having the issue of wanting to have the redshift emulation while controlling the fixture in direct mode. In the manual it describes that the redshift modes just use their normal counter parts when in direct, however, as someone who likes to control all my fixtures in direct mode I also want to be able to make use of the redshift as it is one of the main reasons I purchased these fixtures in the first place. I realize that this may not be something that many people will want, so if it would make sense to do this as an experimental firmware build then it would be great to get some direction on how to proceed with something like that. Thank you!

    After more thinking I've thought of a way that this would work especially with respect to how the current dimming curves actually work. When lowering intensity on the fixture, it is already adjusting the values of the emitters proportionally to the curve it's set to. The same could be done with the redshift where instead it adjusts the cooler emitters at a steeper curve than it does the warmer emitters. I understand from this article that calibrated direct mode is meant to provide the most granular control allowing the designer to fine tune their color mixes, however, I want to still be able to do this WITH the redshift correction. As the user I expect that using the redshift will mean that my indigos and blues aren't going to always look the same as they normally would without the redshift when using the same DMX values for color and intensity. The way I see it is I'm mixing my colors differently but accordingly to the natural redshift as the fixture dims. So, if I were to find a color I like with the fixture at full (or using a calibrated gel preset from the EOS color picker), I would like to be able to see that gel behave as it would if it was in an incandescent light source. Essentially, I want it to work normally trying to hold it's known color point as it normally would, but as it dims, it biases that color point towards the warmer part of the color spectrum until it is out. As a software engineer, I know that this should be possible, however, I also understand the intricacies and complexities of a development pipeline which is why I'd want to approach this on an individual basis as I know it would likely not make it to a full release version anytime soon. So, if anyone in R&D is willing to pick this up, I'd love to chat!
