which signals that this is a comment line and not to be considered part of the patch.
Now that we've seen how to download, edit, and flash in Patch 999, let's look at how it
applies to the example above. As it stands the control channels for the instruments (when
left at default 1 to 1) hung on lx pipe 5 are DMX 1, 25, 2, 26. If you want them to run
consecutively starting from channel 21, edit Patch 999 like this:
chan DMX
1 0
4 4
7 7
10 10
13 13
16 16
19 19
22 25
25 0
Note that the default DMX assignment for channels 1, 2, 25, and 26 have been cleared.
A DMX ASSIGNMENT CANNOT BE ASSIGNED TO MORE THAN ONE
CHANNEL. DO NOT change the numbers in the channel column.
