I am trying to use FreeStyler to create sound to light shows that will trigger automatically at specific times. The sound will be triggered on another computer with input to FS. While the number of steps is slightly limiting, I believe I can create the show within one cue that can run in a serial fashion (I know I can run simultaneously, but don't see much benefit to that approach). The sound to light bump works well.

My question: Does anyone have experience using the scheduler on FreeStyler to trigger every 1/2 hour with a different show and leaving the system on its own for days and weeks on end?

Thanks.

Any idea what the maximum number of steps is? I assume that the number is not being stored as an alpha, so 256 would seem like a logical stop (ok 255). Has anyone looked at the source to see how this is being stored?

Its written in VB Of which the smallest data type he could use would be a byte 0 through 255 (unsigned).
But since iv managed to get up 2 300 steps. i would assume he using int -2,147,483,648 through 2,147,483,647 (signed)
