Scroller Chase

First of all, remember that all Dynamic Effects work by taking a 'base' value and moving above/below that value.

So if you're after accurate 'positions', then Dynamics are not the way to do it. Instead, build a chase that's only got the Color attributes recorded for the relevant fixture(s) and use that on a Master.

Secondly, the attribute for the scroller on a Revolution is called "Color". There aren't any built-in effects that run on the Color attribute, so the first step is to create a Dynamic Effect for that attribute:

1. Browser > Effect Library [Modify]
2. Hit [Insert]
3. Now scroll to the bottom of the list of Effects, and you'll find a blank row.
4. Enter a name for the effect in the "Text" cell for the new effect.
   
5. Move the 'gold' focus box to the "Parameters" cell, and hit [Modify]
6. Hit [Insert] to add a row.
7. Under "Parameter", choose "Color"
8. Under "Table", choose the 'shape' of the effect. You probably want Sine or Sawtooth.
9. Hit [Esc] to close, remember the effect number you've just created (probably 36 if you've never done this before)
   
10. Now select the channels you want, and centre the gel string.
    
11. Type the effect number, and hit [Dyn Effect].

If you hit the 'Dynamics' softkey on the moving light display, you'll be able to adjust the rate, size and spread of the effect using encoders until it looks correct.

I've attached a showfile with a pre-created Scroller effect that you can import - it's called "Scroll Swipe".
