Suggestion: It should be choosable in the definition editor which intensity channels are affected by the grand master

Good morning!

Modern lights like LED pars often have both a master dimmer channel and intensity channels for each color. Because all of them are affected by the grand master these lights become darker twice as fast as others (e. g. 3 channel LED pars) if you pull down the grand master.

It would be better if you could choose in the definition editor which channels are manipulated by the GM.

I think this is a really good idea.

It also applies to the click & go slider for these kind of fixtures. Currently the click & go slider goes to a value of 128 and then when you move it up it adjusts the RGB channels from their current values to 255, or white. When you move it down it moves the RGB channels to 0 or black.

For fixtures like you describe it would be better if the click & go slider controlled the dimmer channel only. When you set a colour, it should start at the top at 255, and then if you pulled it down, it just adjusts the intensity channel to zero. This way it would never go to white

Similarly a submaster should only adjust the dimmer channel on these fixtures and not change the RGB.
