Patching and clearing DMX addresses

Instead of using the patch wizard, you can manually set DMX address.
One fixture number, the number used to select fixtures in the editor, can control more than one
dimmer by patching more than one DMX address to the channel. This is known as soft patching.
Example: a number of PAR cans always work together. You can control all these PAR cans through
one fixture channel.
DMX address assignments are protected from accidental overwriting. To overwrite a fixture's
DMX address, you must first clear the current address.
To patch multiple DMX addresses a to a fixture channel (soft patch)
Example: Patch DMX address 101, 201, 301, 401, to channel 11 which is currently patched to
DMX 11.
