# Find the Fixture That Breaks Your 512-Channel Universe — Free

List the fixtures with the channels each one eats and the plot shows exactly which fixture pushes the rig past one universe — with the channel count to free rather than a guess about what to cut.

**Free and complete.** This guide is a standalone free tool — no account, no card, anywhere. The only paid option is one optional extra outcome: $4 one-time. Nothing in the free tier is gated.

## Who it's for

Anyone seeking practical 100% free AI workflows — no paid API keys, credit cards, or subscriptions

## What's free

- Unlimited boards, every fixture sorted and checked against your universe
- Copy the finished board or the state link to send to the venue's tech
- Starter, band-rig and panto records included

## Optional paid add-on

**$4 one-time.**

- Printable plot board for the rigging day — one page per universe with the footprints and the totals — estimate: ~25 minutes saved per rig spent re-counting channels on a ladder
- Saved plot history — keep the previous three boards in this browser so a returning show inherits last year's patch — estimate: ~40 minutes saved per revival
- Universe 2 column on the paid copy — run two boards side by side and print the split patch — estimate: ~15 minutes saved per venue handover

## Sources & verification

- Tool: GratisAI local-first plot board (no key, no account)
- Primary source: the free tool itself (local-first, no external dependency)
- Last verification: 2026-09-13 (green)
