Supports all Web API versions from v12.x through v19.x (inclusive), including every intermediate version. Communication between the app and the consoles is carried out using the Web API that Avolites makes available to programmers for application development. This app allows you to control the following functions of Avolites consoles: • Attribute wheels. Allows you to modify the various attributes of the selected fixtures. • Record palettes and cues. It is possible to create and merge palettes and cues. • Record the location state of the fixtures. • Move, copy, rename and delete faders and buttons from the workspace windows. • Patch view (API >= 14). • Faders.

It allows you to raise or lower the fader page or jump to a specific page. • Buttons in the workspace windows: Groups, Fixtures, Positions, Colours, Beams, Playbacks and Macros.
