Add new fixtures to existing Autoloops
An Autoloop only contains the fixtures that were patched when it was made. If you add a fixture later, its track stays empty. With this tool the new fixture gets the track of another fixture in all Autoloops.
Step by step
- Patch the new fixture in SoundSwitch and save the project.
- Tap “New fixtures in Autoloops”.
- Under “New fixture”, choose your fixture. Under “gets the track of”, choose the source, for example an existing moving head.
- For moving heads, choose the position, see below.
- “+ another fixture” adds more fixtures.
- Close the project in SoundSwitch and tap “Add to all Autoloops”.

- How Droplit recognizes your lightsDroplit reads your SoundSwitch project and builds your rig from it: which fixtures there are, what they can do, which groups they belong to and in which order they stand. You don't have to create anything by hand.Summary
- Roles: what a fixture does in showsThe role decides what a fixture does in your shows. The designer assigns it when it recognizes your rig, and if it got something wrong, you change it with a few clicks.Summary
- Roles & order: check groups and rolesIn the “Roles & order” window you check and change what the designer recognized from your patch: groups, order, roles, moving heads, positions and gobo mapping.Summary
- Taking over your rig in another projectA checked rig doesn't only apply to copies with exactly the same patch. If you open a project where your fixtures are patched a little differently, the designer takes over groups, roles and order from the most similar rig you have already checked.Summary
- Hiding fixtures you don't bringNot every fixture in your patch comes to every gig. If you hide it, it disappears from the 3D view and the floor plan, and in “Fixtures & stage” the shows leave it out too.Summary
