 ===== - Identify the correct d4 file =====
-We assume that a d4 personality for your fixture already exists. Luckily they usually have verbose file names - have a look in the personality folder (with the PC suite installed it is ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Avolites\Titan\FixtureLibrary''). If you don't find what you need then search at https://personalities.avolites.com/ or https://www.avolites.de/downloads/d4find for the correct filename. If you still don't find anything then request the personality for Titan or build it yourself (this might be explained on another day).

 Now, one by one, Personality Builder scans each mode. For each mode, two files are created: an .R20 file (like he classic pearl files) and a vis file which is the actual visualiser personality. However, things usually don't go that smoothly.
-The next prompt asks where the file should be saved - usually we can just confirm this (the filenam is created from our **unique** reference...):

   * finally, while Colour Macro does work for mode #1 if selected separately it doesn't work if selected together with the other modes. This cannot be changed as technically these are are two separate attributes with - coincidally - the same name. Either change the d4 file, or leave it like it is, because it is very unlikely that you want to us these fixtures simultaneously in real life, isn't it?
-Hence, what we do now is deleting the Amber and White definitions from the mode 4 and mode 5 files. Such small changes can easily be done offline, then copy the file to the correct location again - and even with Titan runnin close and re-open the visualiser window and it works.
