With generics: Plot a multi-step chase, with each light on in an individual state. Set the drive to crossfade (^) and play with the speed until you get the required speed. You might also want to set the Shots to 1.

 

With movers: Plot a two step chase (or a crossfade). In step 1, the movers are in a diagonal line one way ... in the next, they're in a diagonal line the other way /. You can set them into a diagonal line by using the fan-middle function with the Tilt (or Pan, depending on the rigging of your fixtures). Make sure you select the fixtures in the correct order.

With moving lights you can line them all up in a straight line - give them all the same movement effect (ellipse), set the X Size to zero so they are all nodding vertically and then create the Mexican wave effect by fanning the offset parameter

I think someone was getting their terminology confused :oops:

 

A chase memory has a number of modifiers which determine how the chase runs when it is triggered from the memory stack (Playback X) or a submaster.

 

These modifiers are listed and described on page 4-2 of the manual
