For fixtures that have more emitters than just RGB, we have always intelligently mixed colours using our internal “Virtual RGB” playback engine algorithm, converting a given RGB colour to RGBA, RGBW, etc, by extrapolating the additional values based on relevant emitter levels. However, the calculated level for White or Amber was not always the desiredRead more
