Chauvet Colorrail

Sorry for posting in multiple forums...but I think I've managed to figure out the first part of what I want to do.

I found a fixture someone created on here for the Varytec Gigabar which in 26ch mode is almost identical to the colorrail (I've attached that one for reference)

Using that as a basis I created my fixture, but have not yet added the macros.

Based on the manual for the colorrail (also attached) Is everything set up correctly so far? I actually don't have my lights yet to test it on, I just ordered them yesterday so I can't test them out till next week.

My question now shifts to the macros. It seems the only way I can do this to have full control is make 10 different color macros (including off) for each section...totalling 80 macros plus 4 more for strobe

So my main question is can you layer macros. When I'm programming...let's say I want segment 1 to be blue, and then segment 6 to be red, that would require me selecting 2 different macros for the same step in a sequence. Will this work?

yes this is possible with the Formula
look at : http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki/f ... re_formula
Example5
CH2=CH1
Action: This assigns the value in Channel 1 to the fixture's Channel 2. (Programming syntax reads from right to left.)
and you can use the Chauvet 4play as a Example..
