Expand the RGB tool further

More or less if you try to create a D-light RBG (over ACx16) channel, if the 3 channels you plan on using are already listed, it wont let you. You have to delete the channels first.

Just to over complicate the heck out of the program.    My only thought would be to provide better clarity for multi-channel commands.  If your lighting up more than one of the RGB channels at the same time may show up better on multi-lines than the one single line.  It was just a thought, most likely "like I said" over complicate the programing.

It may make setup easier for new users.  Unless I'm not doing it right and keep getting error mssages becaseu of that. If I want to setup a flood mix with the RGB tool now. If I create a 16 channel controller, I have to go erase the 3 RGB channels I want to use before it will let me set up the one RGB channel. 

Originally posted by Pony_God So you're looking to have the red channel, blue channel, and green channel, AND an extra channel that's a combo of the last three? Isn't that just more junk on the screen? Why would you need the red channel, if you could just select red from the rgb channel?

Yes, its more stuff on the screen, but not necessary to be seen during sequencing.  You can push it to the bottom, off screen.  You can just pull it up if needed.  

I guess my original post for the RGB tool was kind of incorrect. Its really not a RGB mixing tool for say.  More of a tool to connect multiple channel together for easier sequencing when your channel count starts getting high and the screen is cluttered with channels.

If you could take a single channel and link say 4-5 channel to it. Example multi-color mini-trees. If you had the channel name (m-tree 1) next to the name you have boxes with the channel colors in them.  You click on the red box and it will link all your lighting commands to the red channel. then click to the white box and all your light commands will link to the white channel. Getting more complicated, create a RBG "TYPE" of tool which will allow you to create a fade from one color to another. If you want to fade from red trees to green trees, you could create the perfect fade in this tool. Also with in this tool would be the ability to choose more than one color for the lighting command. This way you could have multiple channels with the same command. I often have my white and blue lights on my trees on at the same time.

As far as the true isolation of the multiple color channels to the one color control channel like the RGB tgool is now, I think it would almost be better to work this similar to the Virtual channel Spectrum had where you create the 4-5 color channels and the Multi-color channel seperately. If you add a command to the MC channel, it also adds it to the single color channel as well.
