Some fxtures will contain multiple ‘Modes’, this can be selected when choosing the fxture model from the Library (see example fxture below). These modes usually have a diferent channel layout which either limits/expands the amount of control you can have over the fxture. For example, a fxture might have a 3 Channel mode, then an 8 Channel mode, then a 12 Channel mode. Generally speaking, the more channels a mode has, the more functionality it will have- however this will come at the expense of taking up more space within your DMX Universe.

Fixture groups & selections You can now assign multiple types of fxtures to the same group. When patching a fxture, you will be asked if you want to ‘create a new group’. Selecting ‘Yes’ will assign the fxture into a new group, selecting ‘No’ will assign the fxture to the currently selected group. You may also create ‘selections’ within a selected group, which is useful for quick selection. A selection also stores the fxture index allowing several groups to be made with diferent index orders for diferent efect looks. To create a selection, select the fxtures you wish to include within the group and click the “+” icon to the bottom right of the 2d view window.

Arranging your fxtures When in the Setup screen, you can arrange the positions of your fxtures in the 2d view window. This can be done using the selection tools, the spreading menu, or simply dragging and dropping the fxtures.
