Looping a cue list?

[drscoop]

Probably missing something obvious, but is there a way of looping a short cue list to run continually?

As an example - I have a set of LED fresnels with a virtual colour wheel - to mimic the effect of colour wheel rotation on a moving head I can set a simple cue list from colour 1 at, say DMX value 15, to the last colour at DMX value 235.  Setting a 60s fade time, I get just the cycle effect I want but can’t see how to go back to the start of the cue cyclically without hitting “go” again.  Converting to a chase messes up all the fade times and seems to jump from first DMX value to last, without fading through the intermediate colours - changing the fade up/down just seems to slow the fade to first colour but not the fade through the colours, or unlinks colours from intensity as the fader is pushed up...

I’d also, ideally, like to offset the values across the fixtures so the same colour sweeps across the fixture line.

I can do all this as a simple multi-step chase but this, with the offset, would be very easy to mess up and mis-program a step.  Is there an elegant way of achieving the same thing?

(An offset rainbow in the effects engine is clearly a possibility here, but not quite what I’m after on this occasion...)

Hello,

To loop a cue stack automatically, set an auto after trigger on cue 1. Tap the settings button at the end of cue 1’s row, and using the Trigger drop down, chose Auto After. You can then configure a wait time, and the console will then run cue 1 after the last cue.

As you mention, only real way of doing this on FLX S, is to use the rainbow effect. On the full size FLX console, you could apply an effect to the virtual colour wheel channel and offset this across your fixtures, however FLX S consoles are limited to the auto effects. 

If you have any questions let me know.
