Channel Patching

Channel Patching

Each process engine has a per-channel patch applied after the merge and before output. This allows remapping, scaling, and limiting individual channels.

Patch Table

The patch editor shows all 512 channels with columns for:

• Input Channel — source channel (1–512)
• Output Channel — destination channel (1–512)
• Scale — multiply the value from 0% to 200%
• Min — hard floor (output never goes below this value)
• Max — hard ceiling (output never goes above this value)

Bulk Operations

Select a range of channels and apply operations to all of them at once:

Operation	Description
Identity Reset	Reset all channels to 1:1 mapping with 100% scale
Channel Offset	Shift all channels by a fixed amount (e.g. +16)
Range Map	Map a range of input channels to a range of output channels
Pair Swap	Swap pairs of channels (1↔2, 3↔4, etc.)
Reverse	Reverse the channel order within a selection
Fan-Out	Distribute one input channel across multiple outputs
Dimmer Curve	Apply a non-linear dimmer curve to selected channels

Presets

Save named patch configurations and recall them later. Useful for switching between different fixture layouts.

CSV Import / Export

Export the patch as CSV for documentation or editing in a spreadsheet. Import a CSV patch from another source.
