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xture,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.
