PHYSICAL FADER ASSIGNMENT (OPTIONAL SETUP)
Use this feature to combine or unify fixture control attributes for different fixtures. For example; if you
were controlling 4 moving mirrors and 4 moving yokes, the color, gobo and dimmer channels may not
line up ideally on the physical faders. Use this function to re-assign the dimmer, color and gobo
channels to faders 1, 2 and 3. From now on you will be able to control the same attributes on all
fixtures using the same fader location.
Action 
1) Press and hold PROGRAM & TAPSYNC
buttons together (1) time to access the
channel assignment mode.
2) Press a SC
ANNER button that represents
the fixture whose faders you would like to
re-assign.
3) Move the SPEED fader u
ntil you arrive at
controller channel (number).
4) Move the FA
DE TIME fader to select the
DMX channel.
5) Press the MIDI/
ADD button to confirm
setting.
6) Repeat steps 3 ~ 5 as often as necessary.
7) Press and hold PROGRAM & T
APSYNC
buttons to exit mode.
Notes

All physical faders can be re-
assigned to output on a
different DMX channel. Faders are given a channel
number and are labeled on the surface of the
controller as such.
Only one channel may be assigned to a fader. Fo
r
example, if you reassign channel 8 to fader 1, you
MUST reassign channel 1 to any fader other than 1.
Having more than one channel assigned to any fader
will result in conflicts and a lack of fixture control.
