Unpatching individual dimmers
When you unpatch dimmers, they are assigned to channel zero. Channel
zero functions as a holding area in which you may store dimmers not
included in your patch. It is not an actual control channel.
Before you begin creating a custom patch, you may find it helpful to assign
all dimmers to channel zero. Then when you begin patching, you can
select dimmers from channel zero and patch them to channels as you like.
Dimmers assigned to channel zero are listed at the end of the channel list
in the Patch display as “- -.” These dimmers are not assigned to any
channel but remain on the patch screen.
Follow these steps to assign dimmers to channel zero.
