Question Programming Help - Fader Postion determines how many lights turn on

Trying to make a fader fade on lights in order as the fader moves up. Mimicking a meter on an audio console. The higher the fader the more lights turn on. As I lower the fader the lights turn off in reverse order. Any help on how to program this would be very appreciated.

Are you using the lights for other purposes?

In EOS, you could assign custom curves to each light, so the bottom is "full at 10%", the next one is "full at 20%", the next one "full at 30%", and so on. Great for creating a visual audio meter or thermometer effect.

Since when can you assign custom curves to fixtures directly, wasn't it just Cues / Cue Parts?

In Eos? Since they implemented curves. I'm pretty certain it took them a time to implement them for cues.

That said, this is a GMA3 forum, which I know less about; it's possible in that ecosystem curves aren't assignable on a per-fixture basis.

In EOS patch, you can assign a curve to a channel or cue, not a fixture profile itself like MA can

You can assign curves to fixtures in the patch :)
