Groups

Groups allow you to select multiple fixtures with a single button or keypad entry. A Group is any set of fixtures you create to be able to select in one press - fixtures can be of different types, and can be created in different orders.

The order in which the fixtures are entered is stored with the group. In other words, you can store one group with your Artiste DaVinci's sorted 1-24 and a second group that has them sorted as 24-1. While these 2 groups select the exact same fixtures, the order is different. When you use Fanning, Grouping Tools, or FX you will see the commands applied to these 2 groups in the opposite way.

You can also define a selection mask when recording a group. This allows for the rapid selection of subsets of the group, for example, every 3rd fixture, fixtures in blocks of 4, etc., using the Next/Last hard buttons. For more information on storing selection masks, see Using the Grouping Tools.

ONYX is capable of managing thousands of groups. To scroll through Group pages, use the arrow buttons on the right hand side of the window.
