questions

Post by spdj20 »

I'm trying to figure out something. I'm currently running Freestyler on 2 computers....one to control my moving heads and the other to control my LED bars. I have to do this because using sound 2 light I set the heads to react to every beat divided by 4 and the LED bars to react to every beat. In an effort to consolidate to one computer i went back and re-programmed all the moving head chases (movement, color, gobo) with 3 additional dummy steps after each regular step.

Question 1: Is there any other way to accomplish this seeing that Freestyler does not support multiple universes?

Using 2 laptops when I ran the LED bar chases (3 of them) through sub masters, they would play one sequence after another. Now it seems I can't get it to do that anymore. After it reaches the last step in the chase it either loops back to the first step or stops

Question 2: What is the right way to configure the chases/cues/submasters to play each sequence in the submaster sequentially? And ideally i would only want it on certain submasters like color and gobo, so i can add special color sequences in to the normal rotation of the show.

If this is something that can't be done, is there a way to copy an entire sequence from one to another, for example combine my second chase with the first. I've already increased the number of steps per sequence int the .ini to about 600 to accommodate the extra steps, so is there a way to do this?

Thanks for the help, and I'm on 3.4.8. Haven't switched to 3.5 yet. Have a couple shows this month and can't risk there being issues.
