Color Pulse Absolute Effect Issues

The main issue I see here is that your first action has no time... it bumps to a color in 0 seconds and holds that color for 0 seconds.... This action may not playback at all.  Each action should have some time element in it.... If you want it to bump to the first color then fade to the second I suggest adding a dwell even if it is just 0.5 or 0.1 seconds.

Thanks for your reply.

After trying various timings, I've found that a dwell time of 0 causes no problems. Changing the fade time of the step did make progress through. Instead of fixing itself light by light over the course of several minutes, the effect fixes itself after one cycle. Messing with the entry or entry time also did not have any effect.

An improvement for sure.

You just need to change the grouping on the effect setup,  that is the button on the far right that almost certainly says spread,  click that and change it to 1 and then all the fixtures the effect is being run on start the effect together rather than being spread across them,   If its set to spread then you effective create a chase if its 1 then they all fire together.

I have just tried this with my standard effects setup which is similar to yours (other than 2 colour pallets and background and a bunch of buttons for the "waveform") and it definitely works.

BTW if you want even more flexibility add a button to your sheet that is a command button with offset typed into it, and then you can select your light group,  click offset, click the option you want and click your effects button and then you can run chases in reverse/random/group in multiples etc rather than needing dedicated group buttons for this etc.
