Patching question

Post by Pace514 »

Hello Claude !!!

In certain venues i need to patch the ''house lights''. Some times, it is a lot of dimmers. Let's say 500 to 512. Do i have to enter every one of them separated by a coma ? I've try to entrer: 500>512 with no success... Is there a way ?

Thank again !

Yes, you can patch a series of addresses to a channel using the command line. The shortcut key for patch is the pound sign, #. This expands to read "patch:". You then enter a range of addresses using a thru shortcut, ">" or "t". This is followed by an ampersand, @, and the channel.

The sequence of key presses:

[#] [1] [>] [1] [0] [@] [2] [0]

expands to read "patch:1>10@20",

which assigns addresses 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 to channel 20.

patch:0@20 will unpatch channel 20.

patch:1@0 will unpatch address 1 from whatever channel it is patched into.



In the very latest build of LXConsole, 5.2.1 (11702.1), you can also unpatch a range of addresses:

patch:1>10@20 will patch address 1 thru 10 to channel 20.

then

patch:1>5@0 will unpatch addresses 1 thru 5.

This leaves channel 20 patched to addresses 6 thru 10.
