Fan between colors

Is there a quick and easy way to fan say 36 RGB LED fixtures from Orange to Lite blue? Aka, across the color wheel. (Or Pink to Green).

Using the color picker wheel. Holding down fan, and adjusting the Saturation will get you from Orange to White. With shades in between. If you adjust with the HUE wheel, Yes you do get from Orange to Lite Blue, but it will span across with pink and purple (or yellows and greens if you go the other way).

Is there an easy way to do it this using the fan option. Or will I just have to do it the old fashion time consuming way of picking each fixture and adjusting?

    It will probably be easier to manually dial in the colors. Using HSI for example, as you noticed will bring up unwanted colors when using Fan as all CMY channels are moving at the same time. You may want to manipulate the individual CMY channels when using fan.

    For example if you want to use fan you can try the following but it may also bring up unwanted colors but maybe less so.

    For example
    Set all fixtures to 50% CYAN, Use FAN with the START option and rotate until fix 1 is 100% and maybe fixture 24-36 at 0, this is just an example, actual values and fixtures may need to be altered. Not having Cyan in 25-36 will get rid of the blue and allow the orange to come in.

    For example, step 2
    Set all fixtures to 60% Magenta and 100% Yellow and do the same as above except use FAN with the END option selected. Maybe have fix 36 at the 60% Mag and 100% Yellow down to 0 at Fix 1-13 for example. You may want the Magenta to come in a few fixtures before the yellow.

    Some experimenting is more than likely necessary. This may or may not be exactly what you want and I think manually setting the colors will probably give better results.
