Slightly random colour range over a series of multi cell fixtures

Something like this? [Chan 1] [Thru] [20] [.] {Offset} {Random} {Hue} [10] [Thru] [20] [Enter]

whats' the purpose of the [.]?

this will input CellsOnly. if you don't do that Eos will treat each channel as one object and all cells end up with the same color within one channel. with [.] each cell has a different color

gotcha.  I missed the multi-cell part in the original post.  I take it for my LED units (single cell) the same command would work without the [.]

Thanks.

absolutely! it would've worked in this context as well, the [.] just takes it a bit further :)

I've been trying various forms of this and can get it working with intensity, but when I try and select Hue; I find My command line looks lik ethis just after I select Hue:

Channel 1 thru 12 cells only offset random color Error: Parameter already specified

I may be selecting Hue the wrong way; I am selecting color to bring up the colour controls and then Hue. Is there something obvious I am doing wrong?

the error happens because you're trying to select both the whole color category plus the Hue parameter within the color category. "Channel 1 thru 12 cells only offset random Hue" will do what you want. you can get Hue either by clicking the Hue button in ML Controls (above the Hue encoder), or by pressing a hardware encoder that's currently mapped to Hue, or by clicking the Hue parameter tile in the CIA.

Thanks so much. The Hue in ML control works. I was trying to use the tile in the CIA before but was clicking on Colour then Hue instead of Close then Hue.
