Still in contact with Liam. Went to and fro, but hopefully he now figured what I need. He will add a custom 8LED/24Ch fixture for me. There is already a 10LED/30Ch one existing. My stripe segments have 16 LEDs each, grouped into 8 pixels, hence I need that custom 24Ch fixture from Liam. Also waiting for the delivery of the actual DMX decoder + stripes. Then I can do a quick test and report back to you guys.
In theory, each 24Ch fixture should be a group of 8 sub-fixtures. This already applies for the 30Ch LED Stripe fixture. The group track shows the folder icon with 10 sub-entries, and you can apply effects like chases here. If the same applies for my 24Ch fixture, I am fine.
The overall, major issue with SoundSwitch is vertical scrolling. Once you have several pixel- or multi-cell fixtures, you have to scroll like stupid. There is neither a vertical zoom slider, nor better options to manage grouped fixtures like open and collapse them all at once. This is something where the devs really need to step up their game, if they want to advertise SS for professional venues.
Additionally, a LED stripe fixture group generator where you can set the amount of channels and pixels yourself (as mentioned above) would be really helpful. Both for us as well as the support in the long term.
