What is the best way to control Forerunner color scrollers on an Expression 3?
I have tried it multiple ways and am not happy with any of them...
First - Had them all assigned to a submaster. So if I wanted the color
in the 3rd frame I would pull the slider to 14%, for frame 14 submaster
to 88%. This way was a pain, because the submasters are so small it was
really difficult to get a exact number. It was fine for theatrical
shows, but took way too long for live shows.
Second - I assigned the scrollers to groups. Group 1 = All, Group 2 =
Second Electric, Group 3 = Third Electric. Then each stroller got its
own group number so I could do them individually if I wanted. To bring
up frame 14 I would hit [Group] [1] [at] [8][8]. This way it is really
easy to bring up the exact level (color). But it is alot of buttons to
hit.... Also its really easy to hit Release by accident and then the colors go flashing by on stage.
I've played around with the moving light personalities, but it only has
one attribute (color), and then I'm back to my first way, except I'm
turning a knob instead of pushing a submaster.
I thought about creating a Macro but the channel numbers do not go up
by constant number. The first few go up by 7% then it is 8% then 5%
then back to 7%. I am reading the levels out of the forerunner manual so I
know its the right numbers. I can post the levels if someone whats to
see them.
I would really like an easier way to change colors. How does everyone else control scrollers?
