- Worth noticing
- The homepage lists 700+ fixture types and sACN and Art-Net output across any number of universes.
Field notes
The workflow starts by patching and grouping fixtures, then adding tracks and filling clips; the homepage says setup can create a group for each fixture type and a track for each group. Its formulas can use each fixture’s position in the room, while the arranger places clips along bars and allows crossfades. The page also describes a “blind mode” for preparing edits separately from the current show.
