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.

And what would be the command for unpatching ?

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.
