Patching Conventional Fixtures
For patching fixtures, there are two different patch modes: Patching By Channel (below) and Patch-
ing By Address (on the facing page). Ion defaults to patch by channel mode. Pressing [Format] while
in the patch display will toggle the mode between patch by channel and patch by address.
Note: When working with conventional devices, you can patch in either mode easily.
When working with compound channels or multiple parameter devices, such as moving
lights, it is recommended to work in patch by channel.
Patching By Channel
In patch by channel mode, [2] [0] [At] [1] [Enter] patches channel 20 to address 1. Pressing [At] will
post address to the command line while patching by channel.
Additional examples of patch by channel:
[5] [At] [1][0][0] [Enter] - patches channel 5 to address 100.
[2][0][3] [At] [1][2] [Enter] - patches channel 203 to address 12.
Range Patching
Range patching using the [Thru] key allows you to quickly patch a group of channels. [1][Thru][2][0]
[At] [1] [0] [Enter] patches channels 1 through 20 to addresses 10 through 29.
You can also use the [+] and [-] keys. [1] [+] [4] [+] [8] [At] [1] [Enter] patches channel 1 to address 1,
channel 4 to 2, and channel 8 to 3. The [Group] key can also be used if groups have been created.
Note: Range patching only works with channels. If you try to range patch addresses, parts
for the channel will be created. See Creating multipart and compound channels (on
page107).
