This should only be a hint, since the fixtures also have the WWW marking.
Then I change the whole thing myself with the Fixture Builder.
Here is the official changelog from Ape Labs, the new firmware is available now.

Sorry I'm a bit 'late to the party' on this one
I have 15 apelab maxis configured in a single group (B) on my Wolfmix
Is there an easy way to activate 'MusikMode' for all these fixtures and save it as a preset please?
Thanks

Just revisiting this as it's been quite a while since my original post.
Were any changes ever made to allow us to 'trigger' musik mode from the WolfMix please?
Thanks

This would also interesting for me, if it is possible to activate/deactivate the sound active mode independent from the presets.
Background: Ususally I use the Abe Labs Fixtures without the light active mode during the event (fixed colours). At a certain point I love to increase the energy and include the Abe Labs by activating the Sound Mode. This i would like to fix somehow, that it is not affected by a preset or other live edit change.
Is there a possibility to realize that?

Just to answer the question by myself:
If the 7 channel mode is used (if you have older fixtures, you have to upgrade to FW5.0 to use this mode), it can be activated by a live edit. This can be locked, so that is is activated/deactivated independet from the presets or, if not locked, it can be saved in the preset if in this option is selected in the settings of the wolfmix (save live edits in the presets).
