Tomo Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Patch the Zone first, then RGB1, RGB2 etc... The Spark is odd as it only supports fixtures with certain numbers of channels (6, 12, 22 etc) - you'll have to work out the most sensible way of doing it given your rig.

andystone Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 As Tomo says, the best way is to patch the zone first and then the cells as RGB fixtures. The Spark isn't exactly odd in allowing you to define quantities of 6, 12, 22 or 30 (if it's a 4D) parameter fixtures, it is purely so that the display isn't cluttered with information you don't need. To be honest most people just set them up for fixtures with 22 parameters, that covers most things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Odd is different to bad!The Wholehog II was odd at launch, as is the Pearl - nobody else had almost completely touchscreen interfaces at the time, and nobody else has a Rollacue. I've not seen another desk that does patching the way a Spark does - but you're completely right that it greatly reduces screen clutter. It does mean that you may have to think very carefully about your rig before you begin to patch, although you ought to be doing that anyway!
