Intensity chase

FX should be step based.

Step 1 ch 140-143 (or all red)

Step 2 ch 150-153 (or all Green)

Step 3 ch 160-163 (or all blue)

after that it is just playing with timing.

  You could also build Intensity pallets with mixed colors you've set.  Then you would create an absolute effect.  Your value would be the i-Pallet.

Yet another option, assuming your cyc is RGB (or even if it isn't but using the color picker would produce misleading results).

• Patch each 3-cyc cell as an LED_RGB fixture.
• Set up by_type color palettes for each individual color (or any combination of colors)
• Record an absolute effect using the color palettes

Have fun.

You can use Fan and the effects editor to do a linear sweep, sweeps from center to middle middle to center, striping, or whatever.

Try swapping the "grouping" of the effect from 'spread' to '1' - that may give you at least part of the effect you're looking for, as rather than running through the fixtures selected, they should all change simultaneously.

(Look in the effect editor's bottom right corner, if you haven't found it yet).

Edit: I'd assumed it was an LED Cyc wash - on re-reading, I see it apparently isn't. Change the grouping to '3' (or as many colours as you're using) - and maybe pick the colours in order, for each unit?

The Step Chase

That's what I would find in the Expression under Blind and Subs.

Where do I find that here? When I set the sub as effect, I can't find that old familiar, friendly window.

I like the idea of considering it an RGB and I will save that for down the road. Unfortunately, the console is patched and half programmed for shows Friday, Sat.

Found the step chase  in effect, effect. Nothing could be simpler

How would you do a cyc step chase of pastel colours where some of the base colours are at full and others at percentages in each step? I'm using scoops and gel (primary colours) and mixing to get the pastels. I've been able to make it happen through "creative" programming but I'm looking for easier ways of doing things.

If you want to have multiple channels in a step at different levels, you obviously cannot use a single level (eg 75) - you have to use another target, such as an Intensity Palette. You could also use a Cue as the target, but I think IPs are clearer.
