A quick way to turn a group of fixtures on randomly


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all,

Say I had a set of 20 fixtures, all the same but that doesn't matter, is there a quick way to program them all to go to from 0 to x% intensity, randomly, with slight delay between each one coming on instead of programming a 20 step chase or 20 auto triggered cues each time I want to do it.

 

I could program a chase onto a playback then call that playback when I want to do it but I can't get my head round how I'd then further control them in following cues as surely the called playback would be have preference on the fixtures.

 

Also how could I do this in reverse to have them all go off randomly.

Thanks

I'd also be interested in an answer to the above, it's a feature i've used in the past on other consoles so would be interested to know whether there is a way of doing this on the FLX, 

 

If not I would like to have it added to the future features dev list? 

 

Thanks

Not quite what you're after but the only thing I can think of is to use the Effect Step On and set the offset to Random. You might need to wind up the speed a bit. This doesn't do all the things you want but might be a start?

Talking rubbish again!
