colour chase?

[andyhebberd]

Is it possible to (simply) program the following:-

I have 6 American DJ X Moves (LED Moving Heads) mounted on a goalpost type cross-bar.
I would to chase one colour across the 6 with the other 5 lamps being a different colour.
for example -
step one. Red,Blue,Blue,Blue,Blue,Blue
step two. Blue,Red,Blue,Blue,Blue,Blue
step three. Blue,Blue,Red,Blue,Blue,Blue
step four. Blue,Blue,Blue,Red,Blue,Blue
step five. Blue,Blue,Blue,Blue,Red,Blue
step six. Blue,Blue,Blue,Blue,Blue,Red

I hope this makes sense to someone!!!!!

hello, yes this is possible with ESAPRO

[andyhebberd]

Thanks Simon - but how?

[simonB]

read the manual

Ok. Perhaps I need to rephrase my original query:-
I know how to create the desired effect on a line by line basis. What I would like to know is if and how to create this using one of the in built "effects"?

[simonB]

You can do this with the color mixing square wave effect:
-Drag and drop the color mixing effect
-Select square wave
-set the number of colours to 2 and the size to 1
-set the first colour to blue and the second to red

Hi Simon.
Thanks. That explains why I haven't been able to work out how to achieve this.
The colour mixing effect is not an active option for these fixtures. Is that because the ssl is incorrect or just something not available to these fixtures? (American DJ X Move plus).

[simonB]

I didn't realise your fixture did not support RGB or CMY colour mixing. Unfortunately there is no automatic way to create a chase with a colour wheel. You will need to program this manually.

Thanks Simon. Not the answer I was hoping for!
Time to buy some new lights!

OK!
X-moves sold & replacements (eurolite tmh-11) in the post!
These heads have 12 x 9w tricolour (rgb) leds and now I can colour mix!
So, following on from my initial question; I understand how to chase a colour, how would i make the chasing colour fade in and out?
Also, I have recently upgraded to a Stick-KU1 and now have access to Sunlite Suite 2. What are the advantages using this over ESA Pro? It (Sunlite) seems rather more complicated to use.

[simonB]

Sunlite Suite 2 is a high end software package. It is possible to do 100x what is possible in ESAPro. I advise you check out the getting started video tutorials at www.nicolaudie.com/nicolaudietv It is not very difficult to use once you know the basics.

Hi Simon.
Thanks. I am starting to get to grips with Suite 2 now.
I wondered if it is possible to download the tutorials and save them on my PC?
Thanks again.
Andy

Hi Andy

Yes, select the zip icon at the bottom of the menu.

[andyhebberd]

Excellent! Done that!
Thanks Simon.
