The capabilities of Solution are detailed on the webpage, and the datasheets towards the bottom of the page: https://www.zero88.com/control/solution

The key things are:

• 248 fixtures. These are numbered 1-48 (assigned to the 48 faders) and 101-300 (assigned to the 20 Multi-Function Keys ("MFKs") across 10 pages). They can all be anything - there's no limitation of the faders only being dimmers.
• 400 of each palette type / groups / macros
• 201 playbacks (10 faders, 20 pages, plus the "Master Playback")
• 2048 DMX channels (4 "full universes", but can be spread across 64 universes).

So, if I have a light that is, say, RGBW + dimmer level, how do I setup the solution to have it as fixture number 1, so I can control the level with the fader and the colour with the MFKs and wheels?

Hi @Muller Light,

You can patch your RGBW fixture onto the faders by assigning it a fixture number of 1-48 (or 1-96 if using a Solution XL), and the fader will control the intensity. To control colour, the fixture must be selected.

Solution consoles don't automatically select fixtures when channel faders are raised like FLX and FLX S consoles do, so you would need to select it manually. You can turn the channel flash buttons below the faders into fixture select buttons via SPECIAL -> Channel button mode -> Select. This replicates the behaviour of the select buttons on FLX and FLX S - tap to select, tap again to deselect. The button's yellow LED will illuminate when that fixture is currently selected.

Once the fixture is selected, you can control the colour in the same way as fixtures that are on the MFKs.

Hope this helps,
Archie
