Think multiple track video editing.

Using multiple rows also lets you start the second effect slightly before the first effects ends, which may result in a smoother transition.

Anthony, sending you a PM.

Hi, I am willing to pay expenses and time for help with custom programming near Dayton. Please let me know if anyone can do this or knows of anyone can do this. Would prefer to pay for someone here. We have LORs and Pixie controllers. Thank you Anthony at Clifton Mill. 937 767 5501 , anthony@cliftonmill.com

That's pretty much it. The first thing is to create the prop the way you want it with all the strings. Then you can go back and assign UIds and channels, just the way you mention. The prop doesn't care what it's assigned to as long as there are no conflicts. In the sequencer, ALL the rows will show together as the group, I would suggest that you may want to create a second view with only that prop as it could complicate what you see while you are programming that one prop. You may not be able to fit all the rows on one screen without making them so small that it's hard to see.

There is noting special required to have more than one controller involved. Just have to assign the channels in the software to match the actual hardware. For example, if you have 48 channels - just think about it as 48 channels. Whether it's three 16 channel controllers; or one 24 channel controller, one 16 channel controller, and one 8 channel controller; or six 8 channel controllers makes absolutely zero difference from a sequencing standpoint. The only part that matters is having the unit ID and channel assignments match reality in the Preview.

Happy Friday So Im thinking about building a larger tree with 360* lights. Probably end up with 32 or 48 differents strings around the tree top to bottom. If I use 2 or 3 different AC controllers what does that look like in programing to say make the lights spiral around the tree for example? I know each AC controllers has to have a different unit id. So say unit id 1 channel 1-16 next controller unit id 2 1-16 and then units id 3 1-16. Any help or suggestions appreciated. Marty H

It doesn't matter how many controllers you use, when you build your prop you will assign a controller ID and channel to each string in the prop.

Ok. I currently have 9 ac controllers 2 RGB trees, RGB arches other stuff. Ive never used more than 1 Ac controller on a particular prop. Ill figure it out . Thanks

Each ac controller will have it's own LOR ID so it's pretty straight forward. So lets say controller 1 will have an ID of 01 with channels 1-16, controller 2 will have an ID of 02 with channels 1-16 and so on. You will use whatever ID's are not in use by other controllers.

Thanks for the input . I'm not really concerned about building the actual tree although I appreciate the tips. I asking what the controller channels look when programing in S6? l Each ac controller having 16 channels if you want to use more that 1 ac controller. Thanks Marty

My largest led tree uses six ac controllers 96 strands. The tree is 18 feet tall with four different colors up and down and two controllers for spirals, 16 in each direction. I use military antenna poles with six guy lines anchoring the tree, three from the top and three halfway. I don't have a winch but a contraption I made to clamp my ladder to the pole once the center pole is supported. I have always wanted a winch system but I don't think that would work with the spirals. I have been putting this tree up for 10 years and it fell the first year, talk about a tangled mess, lessons learned that year.

You need at least 2 16 port AC controllers. With LED strings it is pretty hard to overload a port. I said AT LEAST, because each port is just 1 strand of whatever color. Some folk used to have 3 colors (3 ports) per spoke. That is 96 ports (6 controllers) There are a lot of pre-owned Gen 2 controllers for sale, but those, while working, are not the best with LED, nor run at the faster network speeds and will need more care to perform well (they don't have snubbers, for 1). 32 strands will be heavy. Your tree will need a winch as well as be strong

well Ok its a 2 fold prob .first I Isp got blocked somehow and A prop file somehow got deleted But so far its working

Hello. after years of programing lights I probably should know this but dont. im want to add a couple of really large trees that would have at least 32 sets of led lights around them 360 degrees. my question is how does this work from an ac controller perspective? thanks in advance.
