3.3 Fixture Adressing / Patching Fixtures and Faders
This controller is programmed to control 18 channels of DMX per fixture on its 16
faders plus the PAN and TILT encoder wheels.
To take full advantage of your ProKontrol™ MH, you’ll need to patch in the DMX
address codes of the fixtures and faders. The address of the fixtures and faders can
be changed as needed, but first let’s just look at the default values.
The default Fixture Patch Settings are:
Page Fixture DMX Start Address Page Fixture DMX Start Address
A
1 001
B
17 289
2 019 18 307
3 037 19 325
4 055 20 343
5 073 21 361
6 091 22 379
7 109 23 397
8 127 24 415
9 145 25 433
10 163 26 451
11 181 27 469
12 199 28 487
13 217 29 505
14 235 30 (Blank)
15 253 31 (Blank)
16 271 32 (Blank)
Fader DMX Ch. Fader DMX Ch. Fader DMX Ch.
1/R (Red) 1 7 7 13 13
2/G (Green) 2 8 8 14 14
3/B (Blue) 3 9 9 15 15
4/W (White) 4 10 10 16 16
5/D (Dimmer) 5 11 11 PAN 17
6 6 12 12 TILT 18
And the default Fader Patch Setting are:
In the above table, R=RED, G=GREEN, B=BLUE, W=WHITE, D=DIMMER
DMX START ADDRESS + FADER CHANNEL, - 1 = FADER DMX ADDRESS
For example: With these default fixture patch settings, the FIXTURE 1 PAN DMX
address is 17, so fixiture 2 PAN DMX address would be 35.
Before controlling a fixture without RDM function, you need to patch the fixture’s
DMX starting address. For example, if you are patching a moving head, you
must patch the pan/tilt channels of the moving head to PAN/TILT wheels on the
ProKontrol MH. If you are patching an LED fixture, then, you must patch the Red,
Green, Blue, White and Dimmer channels to the corresponding faders respectively.
The ProKontrol MH will then be able to correctly run all of its built-in movements
and fade in/out effects with the patch setting.
