OP-Z Plugin
Teenage Engineering's OP-Z synthesizer and sequencer has a separate
track for controlling light fixtures via DMX. The DMX configuration is
saved in a dmx.json file. This OFL plugin exports that file
for a given set of fixtures, however, it is likely that it needs manual
adjustments to fit the exact configuration and workflow of the user.
The OP-Z only allows 16 fixtures to be used at the same time, so the
config section will only include the first mode of the first
16 fixtures; the profiles section will contain all.
dmx.json contains a strobe channel. Is that channel type actually supported?File locations

Help wanted: One of the example fixtures in the OP-Z's
default dmx.json contains a strobe channel.
Is that channel type actually supported? Please help us support it,
should it be available.
The knobs are assigned to the first 8 DMX channels that are not
natively supported by the OP-Z (i.e. color channels, intensity and fog
channels). The same channel in different modes is assigned the same knob.
After all knobs are assigned, remaining channels are just represented by
their default DMX value. Fine channels and null channels are always
off.
