Soft Patching [fixed]

[tomrbland]

Nope, just the normal .txt file I'm downloading from herehttp://download.thelightingcontroller.c ... indows.zip

[tomrbland]

That confused me! I thought it was in the normal place! Found it now. Nice new feature.

Tom, Where is it?
I think I downloaded and installed it but I don't see where the feature would be. Can you help?

Within the program "DMX and Midi Patch" then the tab DMX output.

You can only patch 1-1 though you can't say type dmx address 1-10 = 35-45

It seems you have to say 1 = 35, 2 = 36, 3 = 37 etc

Support and Tom,
I don't see it? I see the DMX input screen. And I see the DMX Input just as it has been. I can can patch any of the up to 48 handles of a wing console to the software. But soft patching? Where? How?

I need to patch a House rig and dimmers of reds on Source 4 pars to one channel of my programming. I need to do the same for the other 5 colours as well as up to 12 Leko's
So if my software programming of my reds is in Ch 1 then all I need to do is patch where all the House reds are...
So I take the patch sheet from the House rig and patch the software. I.E. House red Source 4's are on Chs 1, 7, 13, 25, 31, 37 etc
And I soft patch 1, 7, 13, 25, 31, 37 etc to the softwares Ch 1 programming.

Therefore anything I do to Ch1 in the programming affects the associated channels I patch. I this scenario if I put up Ch 1, the reds on the house dimmers of channels 1, 7, 13, 25, 31, and 37 are brought up.

Thanks for your help.

Make sure you download this: http://download.thelightingcontroller.c ... ht_Win.exe You should now get a DMX output tab in the patch program.

But you don't appear to be able to do multiple outputs in the same patch.

So to do what you want to do I first tried: Channel=1 Outputs=1, 7, 13, 25, 31, 37

But this doesnt seem to work. I think you have to do it a channel at a time:
Channel=1 Outputs=1
Channel=1 Outputs=7
Channel=1 Outputs=13
etc etc

Sorry, it looks like I am telling you wrong again!!

It doesn't look like you can have multiple instances of channel 1. So you can't achieve what you are after. It looks like it is a simple 1-1 patch panel.

Support, is it possible to patch to more than one DMX output?

I don't have Sweetlight. Why would I download a fix for Sweetlight?

And for the record using the DMX Input screen put a plus (+) between your channels for multiple channels. Dmx Input 1= 7 + 13 + 19 + 25 etc....

finaly i got it working.
im using sweetlight
i did download the zip file,
and for multiple channels u use the +
for example slider 1= 3+5+7
slider 2 = 4+6+8
slider 3 =10+11
i only found 1 problem the slider that is the host (in my example 1 2 3 ) is also still aktive,is it possible to deaktivate this?


for showexpress i think support hasnt it put it online.
@LD did u try the sweetlight file if it works?

@support is it in the future possible to patch not the channels but the fixtures?it would save time
i would like to do it also for multiple channels like movingheads? or is this now possible?
ex channel 20-33 = output 100-133.

keep up the good work

We will release soon "clean" beta versions for all.

channel 20-33 = output 100-133

Right now, this is not possible in one action. This is possible only by entering one line per patched channel.
We add in the TODO list "DMX output patch - patch multiple channels in one shot"

the slider that is the host is also still aktive, is it possible to deaktivate this ?

Sorry but we do not understand this question.
