"pong FX"

Question

I'm trying to build an FX on 10 fixture( with different start position) that Tilt up and down : 
 - with the exact same speed. 
 - to the same value up then the same value down. 
 like infinite bouncing balls on a wall. 
 I thought it was easy but in fact it looks much more difficult. 
 am i missing something ? 
 Thank you

It can't really work that way because the effect don't go the entire course and/or jump to a value ! 
 it don't just start where it is. in fact the only wait i found to do it is to create and FX per fixture and to give my tilt a proportional time value. like this :

you want to use an Absolute Effect for that. 
 - first create a focus palette (or a preset containing pan/tilt) for the top position and one for the bottom position. in this example they're called FocusPalette 1 and 2. - go to the effect list, create a new effect, choose type Absolute - you need to steps (called Action), there already there by default. - go to the last column (Level), in the first row type Focus Palette 1 Enter, in the second Focus Palette 2 Enter - go back to Live, select the channels and start the effect (Chan 1 Thru 10 Effect 1 Enter. 
 this effect will only work for channels that have values in the two focus palettes.
