Fixture Groups

Hello, I've been the proud owner of a Maestro DMX for a few days now. It is a wonderful device and fulfills almost all my wishes. However, I still have a question that I can't solve on my own: How exactly do the fixture groups work and does the device handle these groups when playing the shows. What are the differences between Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Quatemary?

Could you change the patterns/palettes for each fixture group instead in different cues?

Is it possible to set different groups to automatically switch between each other in time? Or when a change in rhythm is detected. That would be very useful. I have at least 4 different groups of lights that I now have to switch manually and that's not exactly ok.

Fixture groups allow you to play different patterns with different palettes to different lights!

Generally for the built in shows, we set it up like this:

Primary - you main active lights

Secondary - supportive lights, also active patterns but intended to compliment the primary grou

Tertiary and Quaternary - Static lights (say for shining on performers).

But really, you can do whatever you like! Each group also has options like "allow strobe", so for instance if you dont wnat some lights to strobe you can enable or disable that there.

Hope this helps
