You do have access to DMX direct control.
When in performance mode, make sure the lighting panel is visible.On the left side you will see 3 empty boxes with a gear icon next to each. Pick one of them. In this window, you can set static DMX values (like pan/tilt, color, whatever your fixtures support). I would recommend you override everything you don't want the macros to control.
Set the title and apply.
There are 6 more in the options under the lighting section.
You can have multiple direct controls enabled at a time so you could keep you color direct controls separate.
You can also MIDI map the direct controls and even have knobs to change things like pan/tilt, color, etc to give you additional controls on the fly.
Hope this helps.
