I love discrete delays to create complex "effect-looking" transitions that are contained in a single cue. However, it sometimes becomes a tedious process with large numbers of fixtures. Has there been a thought to have the ability to apply a range (or offset) discrete times via the command line? For instance, right now if I want a series of 12 LEDs units to change color in a cue in a "wave" or "cascade", I need to execute many operations of:
101 [Color] [Delay] 1 [Enter]
103 [Color] [Delay] 2 [Enter]
104 [Color] [Delay] 3 [Enter]
Etc... Then I typically vary the speed of the transition by adjusting the rate of the cue, rather than having to delay units by tenths of seconds (which gets to be a lot to keep in one's head with a lot of units).
It would be great if I could type:
101 [Thru] 112 [Color] [Delay] 1 [Thru] 12 [Enter]
or
101 [Thru] 112 [Color] [Delay] {Offset} 1 [Enter]
Ideally either of these commands would automatically apply increasing delay values to the fixtures' color parameters.
Thoughts?
