2.1. Assign fixture addresses
First of all, you have to patch fixtures to tell the MINI 1000 what kind of fixtures you want

When you need to patch, the MINI 1000 will offer a free DMX address automatically. You
can patch all your fixtures first and check over their patching addresses before assign on the
fixtures.
You can also assign the wanted DMX addresses on fixtures first, then set the
corresponding addresses when patch.

To control the intelligent fixtures or dimmer channels, you should patch them on the
fixture keys first. MINI 1000 has 20 fixture pages, each of which has 20 fixture keys for
