This is Text Has Been Copied From Another post If I can Simplify it by just place a link to other post just let me know ill do so

something that needs to be looked at im already running 14 fixtures if i had to have 8 extra fixtures in freestyler to control just 4 live dynorollers when working with sequences found this very cumbersome got me thinking of a way to make thing easyer and less tricky was if the pattern and strobe and shutter controls could have small tabs LH HEAD and RH HEAD to switch between LH/RH Head

Also the fact that technology changes every month and newer and smarter lights are being developed all the time fixture creator could do with update to allow these new types of light to be built neatly and easily not having to do it a mickey mouse way and have two freestyler fixtures together to operate one live fixture

Also From a Professional Point of View this should be basic operation of fixture creator as 100s of company's make twin head/roller


Ideas

Multi Beams
Multi Tilt/Pan Channels 8bit and 16bit
Multi Strobe and Shutter Channels


Also
When Building Latest fixture Chauvet Colorband Tri found another problem with Fixture Creator
Cannot build fixture with 36 Led in 12 banks of 3 RGB Could not add 12 RGB Channels

36 Channel Set-up just uses 12 channels of RGB that's all

Just think the team should look at all types of lights make them all simple to create

Another Idea Is for the Gobos to be categorised make navigating them easier should folder them Colours, Lasers, Scanners, Rotations, LED, Macros, and Others like Shakes and Chases this would save a finger cracking rolling the mouse wheel up and down to getting to Gobos

Also Gobo Creator bit like magic 3d Views Gobo Editor

Few thing ive had ideas about whilst using the creator

i don't see realy a issue.
having 2 fixtures works better for me.
What if you like to select one side with groups.

this is a good issue if your fixture have more than 30 channels.

This is also a great idea now you need to search a lot.
