rick bruetsch Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 OK guys here goes, I built my own CTB16PC kit, installed software, tested ok. I downloaded Trans Siberian sequence from LOR site and downloaded the music file.When I start the Sequence Editor and select the sequence the grid shows up.When I try to add the music I get a box that askes what Sequence I want to use and the file is empty altough you can see the sequence in the LOR file. What am I doing wrong and is there a step by step instruction somewhere that shows how to do it with downloaded sequences.Any help would be appreciated. I am getting quite frustrated!!!ThanksRick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubado Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Menards has a big sale on extension cords this week, somewhere on this site was a list of stores that the guys have already bought out.Rick, it would be helpful if you would kindly edit your profile so it displays where you're located, thanks.

So I'm going around it.To add a music file to an existing sequence, open the sequence editor and then the sequence. Say okay when the software complains it can't get the latest music file. After the sequence has fully loaded go to EDIT > MEDIA FILE and then select the music file you want to use. When that finishes loading you should be able to play the sequence just fine. When you close the sequence be sure you save the change. Welcome aboard. Enjoy. Buy extension cords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure that the audio file is one that is supported directly by LOR such as MP3, WMA, WAV, etc...Start the LOR Sequence Editor then open the Sequence File that you have downloaded. The Grid will appear in the Sequence Editor window. Now click Edit->Media File and select(open) the Audio File for this sequence. You will need to locate the audio file if it is not stored in the default location however it is recommended that you place the audio file in the default audio folder.Once you have opened the audio file, save the sequence file. Now the sequence file contains the correct location on that particular machine for the audio file.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubado Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Doh! I was at Menards buying extension cords and had a three-way plug in my hand and set it back down figuring I get some next payday weekend. I was working on my Halloween lights and realized I need at least one.Menards has more LED stuff in, vary nice selection, not on sale yet though. They have this three star set with bright flashing led lights, I'm thinking about buying a set and remove the lights to use as mini strobes.6' $.699' $.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick bruetsch Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Thanks Dan for the info. I was away that is why I did not get back to you. After reading what you posted, made more sense to me and got everything running. Now working on mini trees. Thanks again. Rickl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
