I know this has probably been posted on this forums before but I could not find it.
When programming in the FX generator, is there a way to make different points for moving heads on different addresses?

Yes. Select your moving head fixtures. Then you can select a pattern, say a circle or something. Select how many points you want. Once you've done that, you are free to move those points around where you want them.
It can be a bit tricky. You might want to have the 3D Visualizer open so you can get a idea of where you're telling things to move.
You may also want to simply make a circle for temporary testing. move it around and see where the light is aiming. The only purpose of this is to get familiar with where the points are going to end up.
With a little practice and patience, you should get your FX done relatively quickly.

hi,
i might have asked the question a little weird. i was wondering if it is possible to move 4 moving heads in different directions under the same effect (so they are not all following the same pattern).
ex. a wave like pattern using 4 moving heads laid straight across a truss

I think so. I think you'd want to adjust your phase setting to make that happen. I do it with two moving yoke lights(I only have 2 at the moment) and it works fine. I like to use opposite, so one might circle clockwise, and the other counter clockwise. I know for a fact that works because I do it with my pair.
I take it you don't want to use an X-invert setting so you maintain proper control at all times, right? I have to invert something on my non-ADJ brand lights to make them work properly in accordance wiht the 3-D Visualizer. Both are set the same.
Now, as far as a wave pattern, yes, use the sine wave feature. Freaking COOL!! Set it on the appropriate axix(probably X I think) and yes, you can have them do a wavy thing.
