Hey all, just a general patching question.

I’m currently operating 4 universes off an S3 and a side M1. I’m looking to expand some fixture modes for an upcoming event which would demand an additional universe. We have a 16 universe dongle - however would I be able to route a 5th universe out of one of the M1’s DMX ports?

Yes in patch go to connect universes tab (top right of your screen) and then assign universe 5 and 6 to ports 1 and 2 of your M1

You can assign any universe to any physical output,

The 1 and 2 on the back of your M1 are just the port numbers not what universes they use
