5.
Repeat these steps for the other fixture channels.
6.
When you are finished press the Save button at the top of the window. Stage
CL saves the new fixture in the ‘My Fixtures’ folder.
The ‘Other’ feature is used for fixture channels that need to be set to a static
value for the fixture to operate correctly, like macro and mode channels.
There are no controls on the Stage CL that enable these channels to be
changed during the show.
On the Stage CL there are only 4 controls available for which to adjust fixture
parameters other than intensity, these controls being the 'direct' Hue and
Saturation, and the 'indirect' Shift+Hue, and Shift+Saturation. A normal RGB
LED fixture will use Hue and Saturation controls to control the RGB
channels, leaving Shift+Hue and Shift+Saturation controls free for other
parameters. If however the fixture does not include RGB channels, the direct
controls can be used for any desired parameter, eg Pan and Tilt, by
appropriate setting of the "Dial" fields in the fixture library.
Patching Manually
If desired, you can add fixtures to the patch individually, or change the patch
after using the Wizard. To add/change a fixture use the touch screen encoder to
scroll up or down the list to choose the fixture number, then press on the
encoder.

Select a manufacturer and Fixture from the list and press the Encoder to add
it to the patch.
2.
To change the DMX address touch on the DMX address, press on the
encoder to select it, then use the encoder to set a new address.
3.
Repeat steps 1 to 2 for the other fixtures you want to patch or change.
Copying and Pasting fixtures
