Glad to hear that...I was still unsure whether my switch should be dedicated to Ch4 or on Direct Drive.
What would actually happen if the switch is in line with Ch4, but its colour is green, for example. When Ch4 is off, the switch would be off, too (if I didn't misunderstand the vids and the discussion here). Is that right? And what would happen if Ch4 is only set to lower values than 255? Would the switch colour be dimmer than normal?

That sounds about right, if ch4 is dedicated to the AV then you should be able to dim the AV like you would with any other channel, but ch4 is for white or amber, I don't know if u can pick what colors go on what channel |

Well, I thought that a channel is only a wire going from the Driver to the LED without any colour specifity. In general Channel 1 is leading to the red diode, but it could theoretically lead to green instead...just a question of nomenclature I think. So Channel 4 is the wire leading to the white/amber diode and only active if power is applied to this channel. If a switch (no matter what colour) is in line with it, it would only light up if ch4 is set to at least 1...if I didn't misunderstand the function of the driver and channels. If so, then please correct me  |

That's the way I understand it, the channels are just wires, or whatever, that connects the led diodes to the driver. Ultra sabers wires them all in the same order, ch4 regulates the white or amber diode and that's I have been ch4 as though it were the white or amber Led (hope that makes sense)

If I do get the 4 channel and sound, I'm getting a momentary or non-illuminated AV switch so I don't have to dedicate a channel. I want all 4 channels for mixing!

That would be my second option since the switch colour wouldn't match all of the possible Emerald colours...well, silver is the overall solution 'cause it can go with any colour, but I don't really want a silver one ^^ Either a coloured one or a non-illuminated AV.

No idea which channel is red, but I am pretty sure you can go to your basic color wheel and there are going to be a whole slew of colors that use it. VA, DVA, PO, FO, Bane's heart, Hot Pink to name a few. The thing with Emerald is there will be a whole color palette to blend and work with.

I am thinking about getting a red av and having it in series with the red channel. I am curious which channel is for red... I am assuming it is ch 1? I am curious which of the colors (standard and forum) are made with red... my guess is PO, SY, VA, DVA, BH? |

Quick question, what ratios would you use on a RGBW to get orange shades?

It all depends on what shade of orange you want.

I would say try around 255 red and maybe 150-100 green. I don't have my saber yet so I can't be sure but try it out anyway.
