There are 12 outputs
controlled by the icons under the effects tab. You can use them the same way as you would use an
effect. You can put them out to program, map them to a button, or you can add them to the stage
or an event list. Note that if a GPO is placed in the stage, there is no change to the hardware
signal until the stage is taken to program. In this case, the stage doesn’t always act as
program. In addition to the ON and OFF states, the GPIO can send a pulse. You can access the
pulse via the Radial menu. These can be used to trigger an effect or any production element for
either the program or stage based on the rising or falling edge of the GPI input PIN.
