There are fixtures where the meaning of a channel depends on the value of another channel.
Example: fun generation LED Pot 12x1W QCL RGB WW (user manual: )
Here the meaning of channel 7 depends on the value of channel 6:
ch6=0: no macro operation
ch6=1...16: use color macro defined by channel 7, values 0...255 => can be modelled as color wheel
ch6=17...237: one of 13 automatic programs, speed defined by channel 7, values 0...100 => can be modelled as slider "macro speed"
ch6=238...255: sound controlled operation, intensity sound to light defined by channel 7, values 101...255 => can be modelled as slider "mic sensitivity"
For channel 7 you could now simply set up a colorwheel and two custom sliders. However, depending on the context, at least two of these control elements are always misleading. I would like to only see the relevant control element at a time. Unfortunately, I don't see any way of reacting to conditions either in the formulas or in the controls.
How do you deal with similar cases?

It is Very hard to make fixtures for people when we don't have the same light at hand to test it with after all having the light in front of you makes programing so much easier! That's why we will help but rarely build any fixtures for you. You Alone are the best person to build your fixtures if you need help ask if you want it building for you Don't....

Re: How to handle context sensitive meaning of a channel?
In this context I create buttons to operate the settings on channel 6 in the macros buttons then use the custom sliders to map the channel 7.
Every option I click on the macros then just needs the channel 7 adjusting on the custom sliders, I could make just one custom slider labelled with all it's functions or say 4 custom sliders that only operate channel 7 labeled with the what it does i.e. a slider that says 'sound sensitivity' then a slider that says 'program speed' etc. they will all operate the same but to the user it makes it easier to understand...
