Visualizer and Mega trees

[sjmiller]

I have a question about multi color mega trees and the visualizer. I have a mega tree that I use 9 channels for blue, then nine strings of red, white, and green each color on their own channel. When I use the Tree Wizard I specify 9 channels with a density of 4, then I assign blue 1 through 9 in the fixtures to their own channel, and each of the other colors to the same channels (10,11,12) - is that the right way to do it?

No, probably not. I would do it this way:

Create a 9 segment tree with whatever density you want (density does not effect channel assignments).

Now, for each fixture (there will be 9), Wire up all four colors. The blue will have different unit/circuit numbers (probably 1-9), while the other 3 colors will have channels that are duplicated on each fixture (10,11,12).
