Madrix Fixture

[HoraceKHering]

In Madrix 5, when in Patch Editor you can only set Fixtures to 90, 180 & 270 degrees.

Ive tried to look in Fixture Editor, to see if I can Edit the Fixture to 45 degree and apparently not.

I have 80 odd Martin Sceptrons which I need at said degree.

My only thought is to do make individual pixels with correct DMX Address.

Hello HoraceKHering,
Welcome to the MADRIX forum.

At the moment fixtures can be rotated by 90 degree steps in the MADRIX Patch Editor and Matrix Generator.

If you want to patch fixtures in 45 degree angle, it is possible to create a custom designed fixture where the used pixels are assigned diagonal. All non used pixels of the fixture can be empty/free.

Alternatively you can patch single pixel fixtures pixel by pixel in the Patch Editor.
But for a better overview a created fixture will be the better option.

How you can create and us custom fixtures in MADRIX you can learn under the following links:

I hope this will help you.

I think youll want to grab it in the middle just to mitigate vibration; Ive never had good experiences with long pieces supported at the ends.

Definitely a spiffy fixture, and I dig the versatility. Ive generally built fixtures to be modular, with rigid components, so I can swap out this bit or that depending on the headstock/bridge/etc Im working on. I tend to fear moving parts in fixtures, but those vises are pretty sweet. Thats the problem with having a real machine like the Fadal, your fixture-making ability is just too great to resist
