Thanks for the reply Michael.
That does sounds a bit strange, so maybe you could forward us your personality file so we can take a look.
You will not need my custom personalities, the behaviour is there in the factory loaded profiles.
Take for example, ADJ Dotz Bar 1.4 and pick 3 channel mode (RGB)
Red, Green,Blue, Amber and White all have "active" faders.. Seems off that the Amber and White faders would have active controls.
Macros are not supported in Cuety, but you can have up to two custom faders that represent the two channels you want.
I may be using incorrect termininolgy in usage of "Macro".. In most of my dmx personality traits, features like "Shows" are most commonly details as Show/Macro. Ultimately, it a range of DMX values that triggers a particular show on the fixture or drops it into sound active, for example. As such, the Cuety doesn't need to support macros, it just needs to have a fader that I can set within the range of values I need to activate the macro built in to the fixture. Essentially, it's just a custom fader I guess.
Cuety does not support sub-fixture. The idea behind Cuety is an entry level lighting control system, for more demanding designs we have our more professional line of products. That we can tell you more about it if you are interested.
Yes, I understand. Sub-fixtures means multiple groups of RGB or pan/tilt groups.
I'm assuming that my workaround that I had working on the inno pocket wash (to get access to its full 19 channels) won't cause any problems that you are aware of?
BUT, "entry level" is more likely to include fixtures like my COREbar4 and Dotz1.4, which are both sub-fixture units as soon as you want individual control over each colour pod / head. I'd say entry level users are far more likely to pick fixtures of this nature, start out with the supplied foot controllers, then enter into the world of DMX as their next step. Similarly, inno pocket spot twins... very popular with small DJ's and bands but unlikely to be used by pro lighting outfits.
Both the COREbar4 and Dotz fixtures have simple 3 channel mode DMX personalities so can be dropped in to the cuety easily, but we're then left with all four pods/heads behaving identically which kind of defeats the object of having these great all in one fixtures.
BUT the workaround I'm experimenting with seems to work without issue and doesn't have cuety grumbling about overlapping addresses.
The Dotz1.4 I'll most likely run in 12 channel mode as I have no need for the control channel elements, load it into cuety as 4 individual RGB profiles.
The COREbar4's are a little more awkward as there is only a 3 channel and a 15 channel mode. To have control over the pods/heads individually, you have to use the dimmer and strobe speed channel (2 & 3) else the RGB channels do nothing. Shame, but that's more of a limitation in the fixture than in Cuety. I created the customised version of the 15 channel mode; one 3 channel "fixture" for the 3 control channels and then the four 3 channel RGB fixtures. Just have to remember to ensure that I set the dimmer and strobe speed.
As an entry level consumer... I want simple control over a number of (relatively) simple fixtures BUT I want sufficient control to make the effort and expense worthwhile.
I'm not planning to program massive light shows.
I just want a variety of scenes, set a scene off at the start of a song, fade to blackout at the end, then have full on again within a few seconds ready to set off the same or an alternative scene for the next song. I'm not chasing control during a song... I'm too busy playing!
All my lights are in pairs but I don't want all of them on together.
Dotz1.4 forward facing colour change wash (typically going to be blue hues based wash)
1 pair COREbar4's back facing wash (matched to the Dotz above)
2nd pair COREbar4's back facing BLUE/WHITE wash aimed strategically
The effect lights, Inno Pocket Spot twins, Inno Pocket Rolls and On-X are then forward facing from mid/back of stage but I'd typically only be wanting to run 2 of the pairs at any given time.
I can do all the above on-stage with the standard controllers I have already, though the effect lights are run master slave via an IR remote which gets a bit messy!
I want Cuety to enable me to control it all off-stage when I'm hiring out my pa rig which I can't do with what I already had and give me the increased control on-stage to be able to fade out fade in with a single action.
Lastly, there are some ways you can connect foot switches to your Cuety but that depends on which LPU you have. For LPU2 you can use a network based foot switch that can send OSC or UDP, or a foot switch with midi out put that you can then convert to OSC or UDP again. Unfortunately for LPU1 this is not supported.
Looks like I'm out of luck on this one then! The delivery I took was an LPU1 and I don't plan to buy another controller for some time.
For any further information don't hesitate to contact us, we would very much like to help you get your Cuety all setup! 
Thanks. I don't want you to think I'm on a downer or gumbling, and if what I've said comes across as grumbling then sorry... not intended. I'm still finding my feet with it, I haven't had chance to do a full setup of all the fixtures to try everything out and experiment properly.
I also realise that what I want doesn't fit the model that most lighting controllers are designed for.
I looked at DMXIS but despite *nearly* getting it decided that needing to lug a laptop round was a step too far... BUT it does win in being able to deal with those pesky subfixture fixtures and has an FX generator that can span the subfixtures. It also won on having the option for a footswitch.
I looked at the ADJ MyDMX but really struggled with the APP... but at least their app would allow you to play about with it BEFORE buying the hardware (ie the app will run without hardware attached)
Ultimately though I settled on Cuety, primarily because it is iPad based and I'm already running my sound console on the ipad,.. one less device. It connects via *normal* WiFI, not some proprietary stuff so any router will do... and I already have the apple airport express. I just need to get a small network switch in order to hook up both the mixer desk and the LPU1 to the same airport express but I'll do so when I'm closer to being ready to take it out into a live setting!
So in the pros and cons list, Cuety won...
I just need to work on my workarounds for the cons!
