Selecting one-to-one patch
The one-to-one patch assigns dimmer 1 to channel 1, dimmer 2 to channel
2 and so on. If there are more dimmers than channels, the one-to-one
patch assigns the first extra dimmer to channel 1, the second extra
dimmer to channel 2, and so on.
Follow these steps to select Express's default one-to-one patch:
Creating custom patch
Express's custom patching capability allows you to create virtually any
dimmer to channel configuration you like. (Groups of dimmers may be
assigned to single channels, but only one channel may be patched to a
dimmer.)
Hint: If you use the same patch for several shows, create the patch, and
record it on a disk before you record any cues . Label the disk Standard
patch . When you start your next show, read the Standard patch show into
the console, then begin writing cues to avoid reentering the patch.
