Copying DMX Fixtures / Auto Addressing

Copying DMX fixtures has been improved by adding auto addressing. If auto addressing is

enabled, MADRIX will automatically increase the DMX channel (and DMX universe) of the copied

fixture. You can enable the feature in the Patch menu "Preferences" -> "Auto Address Copied

DMX Fixtures". Disable this feature and the copied fixtures will have the same DMX channel and

universe as their sources.

Please pay attention when using auto addressing and double-check if each fixture is

addressed correctly!

Single Fixtures

Select a single DMX fixture by holding down the "Ctrl" key and the left mouse button at the same

time. Then, drag your mouse and a copy of the fixture will be created as a result. Finally, drop the

fixture at its new position. The DMX channel and the DMX universe will be automatically adjusted

if "Auto Address Copied DMX Fixtures" is enabled.

Example:

The original fixture at position 1,1 is mapped to DMX universe 1 and channel 1. It requires 3 DMX

channels. Therefore the first copy, fixture number 2, is automatically set to channel 4, and so on.
