The mode I have the fixture in has the colour option for each module as the 1st three channels. So all I did was split the light up into 3 different fixtures and stagger them.
I split it into Module 1, Module 2 & Module 3. Each of these will have the same basic outline, but because you want to control them individually, you have to make a small change. At the bottom I have included the fixture profile for module 1.
All you need to do is copy this into a text file and save it as a fixture then do the following:
1 - import the fixture into your fixture profile list in setup
2 - create another new fixture and name it (I called it mod 2)
3 - in (mod 2), create the same channels as the 1st module, but with colour as the 2nd channel: then delete channel 1
4 - do the same as above for the 3rd module
In each instance, you will have 1 less channel. THEN, all you need to do is patch this into the DMX channels.
module 1 could be starting address 10 for example.
module 2 will then start on 11
module 3 will then start on 12
Then just create a group of the 3 fixtures (in editor) and select the group instead of the fixtures on their own.
This will show up as three colour channels followed by the rest.
The only problem I have is with the strobe effect. It only works on one of the modules (in 3D mode), so I just create a strobe manually.
