ice Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 You can use the effect generator to create a wave, using offset in a fan mode. You can't set it to run just once, if you really need that behaviour you need to program a chase containing a position wave but thats a lot more work. You could try using the memory stack: mem 1 = empty, fades into mem2 on "go" mem 2 = wave from shape generator, fades into mem 3 after x.x seconds, as long as your wave takes to finish mem 3 = empty again. Not sure if that would give you exactly the effect you need, but you could try. Quote > 500 posts, time for a new T-shirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkup_xp Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 You could do this using an N-shot chase. Step 1 - all fixtures at 'home' position Step 2 - first fixture beginning wave Step 3 - next fixture joins in wave, first fixture further on in the wave Step4....n Step n - Last fixture finishes wave Set the chase to run once (Shots: 1) and modify the speed and attack as required. Transfer this memory to a submaster, and whenever you raise the submaster, the wave will happen Quote Peter Kirkup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 But with a decent number of fixtures you have 2 possibilities: - simple chase with ugly movement - complex chase which is gonna take a lot of time programming Create 3 position pallets: "top" "middle" "bottom" and use these for programming, that's gonna save you a lot of time.
