Need help with 3-channel LED strip

I think you are wanting the sequence to be something like first chanel goes red and stays red, next channel then goes red, repeated for all six and then first goes green while others still stay red and the 2nd one goes green and so on.

If so a simple absolute effect with just 3 steps in it with in time of zero (so no fade) dwell time of 6 seconds (as you've got 6 you want to do and there's an easy way at the end of setting the actual time for the effect) and decay of 0 (again so no fading) an the on state red for the first one and the second step the same with green and third with blue.

Set the entry as cascade and the Entry time as 1 second,  so each fixture you have in the set you apply the effect to starts one second after the previous.

Then if you select the 6 channels and apply the effect it should just do what you want.

In the cycle time box you set the actual duration of the effect cycle (you'd need to adjust the entry time as well proportionately).

Thanks for the answer. I can't seem to make this absolute effect, they just light up at 100 and that's it.

remove the parameters in the Params column of the absolute effect, and remove the parameters from the Parameters field on the right hand side. you don't need it.

I did as you said. The effect works almost as it should, but for some reason it starts from the 3rd step immediately and turns blue, so it is not repeated.

The step time in the absolute effect also needs to be 6 as the pattern is that the first light is not supposed to not go to the next colour for a count of 6 with each of the other lights coming on to that colour after a count of 1.

If that still doesnt work for you please attach a new screen shot as to how you have it now

Thanks to your advice, I understood how to do what I need to do. It was necessary to make the StepBased effect for 18 steps so that everything worked as we need, but we will also need to configure the rate.
