ice Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Something I thought up last weekend; there should be a possibility programming relative chases. What I mean by that; the desk should record the difference in DMX value when programming; and output only the difference with the current value. Ehhh maybe that's a little crappy English: an example. Programming a color chase: * DMX value is at 0 * Create a chase as usual, set mode to relative. * record step 1 * change DMX value to 5 (next color) * record step 2 * Finish the programming now we have a relative chase, and we start it: output will be: 0-5-0-5-0-5-0-5 etc Now we select a color-pallet; output will be change to 128 for instance... Now we start the chase again; output will be 128-133-128-133-128-133 Now wouldn't that be a nice feature? Saves loads of time programming different color / gobo / strobe chases.

Haytech Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Ice, indeed a very nice vagary but how do you stop this chase running ? when a colour chase steps ie. open / red, call a pallet maybe blue/ yellow the chase runs all the time ? I sugesst that such colour / gobo chasers can be stored on a pallette ! Quote Sebastian H. Pro - Sound Showtechnik The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.

ice Posted June 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Why should it stop differently from the current chases? Just select another color, or manually change the value and the chase comes to a stop? Quote > 500 posts, time for a new T-shirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
