Setup Auxiliary Buttons
The desk provides 4 auxiliary buttons
which can be programmed and
patched to DMX channels.
They are normally used to control
smoke machines or other simple DMX
devices.
Note that an Auxiliary button cannot be
patched to the same DMX address as
a dimmer channel or fixture.

from the Desk Setup options. The
auxiliary screen is displayed.
2. Select an auxiliary by scrolling up
or down using the cursor keys, or

description using the front panel
or external keyboard (optional).

Patching Auxiliaries (1)

the auxiliary to be patched using
the cursor keys or mouse.
2. Enter the DMX address using the
numeric keypad or keyboard.

Proportional Patching

2. Move to the Proportional Patch
field. Set the value as required
(0-400%).
Adding Duplicates
A duplicate is an additional instance of
an auxiliary which is patched to a
different DMX address.
Up to 9 duplicates may be added to
each auxiliary. An extra line is
displayed on the screen for each
duplicate defined.
Duplicates are added automatically
when patching the auxiliary using
either of the following methods:
1. Specifying additional DMX
address(es) separated by AND
when entering the address in the
DMX Address field.
(eg. 101 AND 102 AND 103 ).
2. Left clicking with the mouse on
additional addresses in the DMX
map on the screen.
Providing that the DMX address is
valid, an extra line will be added for
each duplicate showing it patched to
the specified address.
Playback of Auxiliaries
The playback of auxiliary buttons,
including the effects of fade times and
button actions on the resulting outputs,
is described in Chapter 11.
