What specific effects are you trying to achieve? Do you have a specific event you're using them for and an effect that the event requires?
I've worked with the B-EYE K20s (see my demo video here), and I used internal macros for the whole thing. The fixture has what it calls the "Shapes" mode, which lets you play back static shapes or animations on the front of the fixture, and set the color of the animations and the color of the background and the intensity of each. It's really slick if you set your personalities up right - I use one for the main part of the fixture and another "fixture" for the shapes portion of control, so that I have color picker control over both sections and it's easier to make presets/palettes. However, it's fairly easy to set up the pixel mapping - you just have to be willing to use only 3 fixtures per universe. If you'll be using an MA, you can set up a pixel map layout and feed bitmap effects to an array of b-eye fixtures. Set the fixtures to the proper mode (RGB or RGBW pixel control), and you'll be able to run all of the pixels individually.

Well. There is a built mode in the fixture which stores the inbuilt macros. Or either way, you can set the fixture to the diffrent personality( not really sure which mode, check the manual). Once you set the perosonality on the fixture, check on the desk too. Once you do that, you should be good to go
