I am trying to create a fixture profile for an NJD Spectre. I've figured it out except for the colour channel. It has one channel to select colour - 0 is red through a spectrum ending with white at about 240, and colour scrolling at 255. I'm using the 'other' fixture template and I can tell it the colour channel, and the number of colours, but how do i configure it for the shades in between each colour. Do I need to define 255 colours (but FS only allows 99)
I'd really like to get smooth colour cycling between colours.

It is Very hard to make fixtures for people when we don't have the same light at hand to test it with after all having the light in front of you makes programing so much easier! That's why we will help but rarely build any fixtures for you. You Alone are the best person to build your fixtures if you need help ask if you want it building for you Don't....

Re: Continuously variable colours on a single channel
As Onge says look at the colors you really need. Red, Blue, Green, Yellow etc.
You will never need to control all the color variations this can do.
If the 3 lamps were controlled on 3 seperate channels this would be dead easy to do as an RGB or CYM.
As it is 15 or so colours should be enough. If not look at getting some cheap RGB pars. This is probably better in the long run as its cheaper and greener to run, cheaper cause you wont need to replace lamps and easier to setup in FS and take control of ALL the colours in the spectrum. (1000's of them!)

Re: Continuously variable colours on a single channel
Thanks for your answers. I didn't realise FS could still address all 255 values at the same time as being setup for a fixed number of colours. I'm not sure whether the Spectre is going to be any good or not anyway - one of the dichroic filters exploded last night whilst setting it up - it has only seen 30 minutes on time from new. Also seems to intermittently 'go to sleep', and takes a power cycle to come back on.
