6. Patch Utilities
The Creator 2048 allows several options to be set for each fixture or dimmer when it is being patched.
Patch options menu can be accessed by pressing <D> [Patch utilities] while you are in patch mode. Set
the options before you start programming, because scenes will play back differently when the options
are on. The options are:
01) Invert – Allows you to invert an attribute of a fixture, so when you set zero the output will be full. You
cannot invert some attributes.
01) Press <Patch> to enter Patch menu.
02) Press <D>[Patch Utilities].
03) Press <A>[Set Invert].
04) Select the desired fixtures and press the attribute buttons to select the desired attributes. Then, press
<A> or <B> on the right hand side of the screen to modify.
01) Set/Reset Instant Mode – When the Creator 2048 faders LTP (movement) channels between two
scenes, the LTP values normally change smoothly. You can set Instant mode to make the channel
snap instantly to the new value.

Press <D>[Patch Utilities].
Press <B> [Set/Reset Instant Mode].
Select the desired fixtures and press the attribute buttons to select the desired attributes. Then, press
<A> or <B> on the right hand side of the screen to modify.

tilt channels over.
