Dynamic DMX channel

Hello

I'm looking to be able to change dmx channel dynamicly.
I'd like to be able to choose on wich dmx channel I send value, sometimes on the 64, then on the 98, then ...
somekind of a dmx matrix.
I tried using a direct dmx array choosing wich value I was sending but it sends all 512 values
Hoping I'm clear enought ...

a channel mapping would do the trick
should I create as many fixture (one ch) as I need (something like 200) then make a sub patch with dispatcher on the differents channels ? I looks heavy
Any ideas ?

Take care

simply create a ramp of par fixture with 200 ramp count but you'll always have to send the entire array. maybe there is a way to memorize this array?
it's a good suggestion to be able to send only a single value on a DMX channel.

Thanks,
I had created fixture of 200 ch with names and ... but I don't want to send the whole array.
I'll try to make 200 fixtures of 1 ch and make a dispatcher in a subpatch so I can send only one dmx value. (I don't really need to be able to control the 200 channels, 50 will be ok).

So I created a fixture of 200 channels, naming each channel (as LED RGB fixture), I've noticed if several channel have the same name only the first one has a visible inlet (when you drop the fixture in a patch)
Dispatching value to different inlet of that fixture actually work, took a long time to wire (all the pass if change) but works fine

Take care
