Custom fixture selections

Good morning- or afternoon on the East.

I have been working on a rig with 24 color blasts all lined up in a row across the stage, lighting different scenic elements. I have been trying to create a chase or an effect where all units have a base color of purple, then creating a green color shift that uses 3 units at a time, but fades from one to another in a marquee fashion. So for the first step all units are purple and units 1-3 are green. The next step units 2-4 are green, rest are purple including unit 1. Step 3 is 3-5 at green rest at purple. I know that buddy's and repeats are used for fan effects, but is there a efficient way to select a group of 3 fixtures then hit "next" and the group of 3 moves over one fixture?

I have ended up creating 25 individual groups, representing the different steps and created the chase that way. It just took a lot of time setting up the groups.

I do not what fixtures to pass through other colors getting from green to purple, otherwise I could just use a fanned effect from the effects pallet.

Looking for any suggestions. Thanks for any help.

  • I just tried this out and it works. Here's the programming syntax

    1 thru 24 full enter
    apply green color palette
    color time 0 enter
    record choose (over open fader) enter
    apply purple color palette
    color time .5 enter
    color time time 0 thru 24 enter
    record enter
    apply green color palette
    record enter

    go to cuelist view. make cue1 and cue2 follow, make cue3 wait 3s. This assumes your fixtures are numbered 1 thru 24.

    Hope that helps. Anybody have other solutions?
