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?

Hi Graham!
If you look in the parameters for each group, you should be able to enable or disable strobes and blinders for each group. Is that what you're looking for?

Hi Gabby,
Would it be Possible to have A fixture group called All.. say for Strobes so you can turn off the lights in the groups from flashing but the strobes still work?
or is there a way to do this without an all group?
Were using all 4 groups for different types of fixtures. 1, Main Fixtures (Dont want them to strobe) 2, Moving Heads (Dont want them to flash) 3, PAR CANS (Dont want them to flash) 4, RGB Wall (Dont want them to Flash). And have strobes, Need them to flash and on for Blinder.

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
Gabby
