you could make 3 separate fixture files; one for each mirror... I did that for a 6 segment LED bar

i'm not sure what your issue is? and why do you assign 9 channels when the pdf you uploaded says 8 channels?

i discovered that ch 1 does nothing ch 5 does nothing, ch 4 controls pos a,ch 8 controls pattern a and for some reason ch 9 controls the rotating speed of all the patterns

Sounds like a problem with addressing if certain channels don't respond. Or a defective light.
What are channels 2, 3, 6 and 7 doing?

ch 2 is controlling pos b, ch is controlling pos b, ch 6 is controlling pattern b and ch 7 is controlling pattern c.

That's what happens when using the "Three Claws" file right? And Nothing with the 3 other files?
I never had to make a multiple mirror file, but I would think that all three should all have a total of 8 channels so that the addressing lines up to the channels for each different mirror. You currently only have 4 channels in those three fixture files. I don't see anything in the manual about a color channel. I assume the colors actually change because of the pattern?
I'm not sure exactly how this light is supposed to work. I wonder if ch. 1 pattern A corresponds with ch 5 pattern? Does ch. 2 pattern B correspond with ch. 6 pattern? Does ch. 3 correspond with ch. 7 pattern?
If I had the light, I could figure it all out. But I don't have it, so I'm guessing on this end because the manual is not clear enough.
