Programming a chase effect with colour changes with LED par cans

I had this same question a few months ago. Try changing the grouping to the number of fixtures times the number of colors.

Thanks, I'll try that.

How about using a grouping of 1? Also, keep in mind, I believe a color palette of black does not work. I think you may need to set all of your lights to the first step "look" and record that as a color palette, and then change your lights to the "look" of your next step and record that as a color palette and so on ...

I thought I'd tried 1 but I will check. A black palette has the desired effect of making the can appear off even when its intensity is at full - that much works.

Making this as simple as I could, I reduced it to three cans, so the effect I'm looking for is (one step per line)

R--
-R-
--R
G--
-G-
--G
B--
-B-
--B (loop around to the start again).

where - denotes a can that is off, and R G or B a can in that colour.

I've sort of got close with nine steps of CP1 CP4 CP4 CP2 CP4 CP4 CP3 CP4 CP4 where CP1 is saturated red palette, CP2 is green, CP3 is blue and CP4 is black (pull the saturation right down on the colour picker) and a grouping of nine.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I did a "white light" chase last night with a row of 10 LED PARS with a red background which looked pretty cool...
(Absolute Effect)
Step 1 CP1 = WRRRRRRRRW
Step 2 CP2 = RRRRRRRRRR
Step 3 CP3 = RWRRRRRRWR
Step 4 CP2 = RRRRRRRRRR
Step 5 CP4 = RRWRRRRWRR
Step 6 CP2 = RRRRRRRRRR
Step 7 CP5 = RRRWRRWRRR
Step 8 CP2 = RRRRRRRRRR
Step 9 CP6 = RRRRWWRRRR
Step 10 CP2 = RRRRRRRRRR
The white light chases from the outside in. I repeated CP2, otherwise it would just turn to white while chasing in and stay white.
Set each at a time of .2 seconds and a grouping of 1.
Note: My LED fixtures are set with a home intensity of 255 and all colors with a home of zero.
Have Fun!

And that's the bit I'd forgotten- that colour palettes can contain different colours for all the fixtures. Thanks, I've now got the effect I was after.

Super, Glad to hear it!
