How can I modify an effect to not have fades?

Post by Wibs »

Hi,

I have a single channel DMX unit, that does not support fades. Is there a way to modify effects like perlin or plasma or rainbow (or anything, actually) to not have fades? So when I specify the DMX values, only those are used and not all the ones in between.

Is it even possible?

Thanks,
Andres

Hello,

There is no way to edit this aspect of the ESAPro2 color effects, I'm afraid.
But I'm not sure I understand how you encounter this issue. Is your device only containing channels with a "color wheel"?

Regards,

Thank you.

I think the way you describe is the best way to explain what I have. It's not a projector, but a DMX unit, that is set up similar to this:
ch1 @ 2 - red
ch1 @ 4 - green
ch1 @ 8 - blue
ch1 @ 6 - black
and a bunch of other options. So, if there is a fade from 4 to 8 instead of a step-in, then there will be a moment of black.

Assuming I have 45 of those units, I was hoping I could make, say, a perlin/raibow effect for values 2, 4 and 8 and the units would change colour in a random pattern.
Manually doing a scene for 45 different timelines is a bit tedious.
