Each sequence tab in the Light-O-Rama Sequencer has its own toolbar. The toolbar selections on one tab can be different than the selections on another tab. For example, the current intensity range and current effect can be set differently for each sequence.
The order of the buttons on the S5 toolbar cannot be changed by the user. This helps Light-O-Rama customer support help you - if you call in for help, we can easily point you to where the color fade tool is (as an example).
The buttons on the toolbar will wrap to match the width of the sequence tab. So, while the buttons will always stay in the same order, you might have 2 rows of buttons, or 3 rows, or more - depending on the width of the sequence tab.
Here is the comprehensive list of every button on the toolbar, listed in the order in which they appear.
