Change Fixture Type
To change the Type of a single or multiple fixtures at once, select the fixtures you would like to change
the type of and click on
Change Type
within the Patch Screen.
Changing the fixture type is only possible with single instance fixtures – if you would like to transfer data
from a single instance to a multi instance fixture, or vice versa or in between multi instance fixtures, please
add the new fixture type to the show first and use the cloning functionality and delete the old fixtures
afterwards.
Chimp will keep the programming of the fixtures as good as it can (parameters that exist in both fixtures
will carry over the programming; RGB will be converted to CMY and vice versa).
