Patch 107
additional addresses (scrollers, indexing pattern wheels, and so on), or when your devices' start
addresses use a known multiplier.
[1] [Thru] [2] [0] {Offset} [2] [At] [1] {Offset} [2] [0] [Enter] - selects every other channel in the
list and patches them with an offset of 20 addresses.
For Example:
When patching using a fixture type, this is a two step process because the command line ter-
minates after a fixture type has been selected.
1. [1] [Thru] [5] {Type} {Source Four Revolution}
2. [At] [1] {Offset} [3] [1] [Enter]
Hitting [At] will reselect the previously selected channels. The channels can then be patched
with an address offset of 31 channels, allowing you to have additional space within the
patch for a given fixture type regardless of configuration or personality.
Note: For multiple parameter devices, Ion will automatically offset the addresses based on
the fixture type.
Creating multipart and compound channels
A multipart channel is any channel that has more than one dimmer patched to it. A compound chan-
nel has multiple profiles patched to it that make up one channel, an example would be a dimmer with
a scroller and auto-yoke. By default, Ion will add a part if you are trying to patch to a channel that has
already been assigned an address.
To patch amultipart channel in channel format:
[9] [At] [5] [4] [0] [Enter]
Assuming that channel 9 is already patched to an address, this will create a part 2 and address it at
540.
[8] [Part] [2] [At] [5] [1] [3] [Enter]
This will create a part 2 for channel 8 and address it at 513. If you wish to patch by address while in
the channel view, press:
[Address][5] [1] [3] [At] [8] [Enter]
Assuming channel 8 was previously patched to an address, this will create a part 2 and address it at
513.
To patch amultipart channel in address format:
[5] [1] [3] [At] [8] [Enter]
This will perform the same action as the previous example, assuming channel 8 was previously
patched to an address.
