Fixture Control - Groups

The Fixture Control - Groups feature in ControlGo allows managing up to four distinct fixture groups. Each group can contain an unlimited number of fixtures; however, only fixtures with the same FixtureType and DMX mode can be grouped together to maintain a clear and uniform layout, ensuring all channels of the fixtures are displayed consistently.

Fixture Control Groups Screen

Create a Group​

At the top of the Fixture Control screen, four groups are available for selection. These groups can be accessed either via the on-screen interface or by using the four physical Group Buttons positioned above the screen.

When selecting one of these four buttons/groups, if the group is empty, the screen will display:

EMPTY GROUP! Push to edit group.

Pressing the Gear Button on the left side of the screen opens a window with all available fixtures.

  • Holding down on the group name in the upper left corner for 2 seconds will open the label editor to rename the group.
  • At the bottom of the screen, select the fixtures to add to the group. Once the first fixture is selected, the system will automatically exclude any incompatible fixtures (different FixtureType and/or DMX mode).

Fixture Control Groups Edit Screen

Once all desired fixtures are added, click the Save button at the top right of the screen.

After creating a group, selecting it allows control of multiple fixtures from a single screen, simplifying adjustments during operation.

Each group is equipped with a Group Master to control and/or limit the dimmer level of all fixtures within the group.

To access the Group Master View, press the Up Arrow Button . Empty groups will appear in gray, with their corresponding encoder unlit. Groups that contain fixtures will display a color both on the virtual fader and on the physical encoder, providing visual feedback for easy identification.

To close the Group Master View, press the Up Arrow Button again.
