3. Grouping

You can create groups of fixtures or dimmer channels, to make selecting them faster. You can, for
example, make a group for each type of fixture, or group by left / right stage, etc.
01) Select the desired fixtures for group setting (be aware of the order in which you select the fixtures as
it will have influence upon the performance).
02) In "Live Programming Mode" menu, press <D> [Record Group].
03) Select a fixture group button to save.
04) Repeat steps 1-3 to set another group.
Other useful things to know about groups:
 To select all the fixtures of a group, simply press the fixture group button. Other fixtures will not be
selected.
 The order in which you select the fixtures takes effect when you use the last fixture – next fixture
functions described in the next section, and when you use Shapes and Fan mode.

4. Stepping Through Selected Fixture (One at a Time)

If you have selected a range of fixtures, or a group, the Creator 1024 PRO has functions to step through
the selected fixtures, one at a time. This can make it easier to program a range of fixtures because you
do not have to select each one manually.
This mode uses the fixture control buttons, which are normally used for controlling chases.
01) Select a range of fixtures or a group.
02) Press <←> (Reverse) and <→> (Forward) will select the fixtures in the range one at time.
03) The <HiLight> button will highlight the output of the selected fixture so that you can see it on sate (the
button LED is lit when in Highlight mode).
04) The <All> button reselects the whole range of fixtures.
 Press <Odd> or <Even>, the fixtures at the odd/eve positions will be selected.
 You can also use the left and right arrow keys to step through selected fixtures.
 The selected fixture from the range will light up, and the other fixtures will black out (if the LED of
<HiLight> is turned on).
