Right, by assigning an icon to the section of the channel where it does a circle and figure 8 etc, it is just letting you recall the built in programming with an icon, you are not able to edit it. but you can generate your own movements in the software using the easy time functions. Same for color mixing you should have access to the RGB or RGBW channels to color mix your own colors, if you do not, then maybe you are in the lower channel mode as most of those cheaper moving head washes offer a mode with pre-set colors only, no color mixing.
