rye381 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Hi guys,This is my first year working with animated lights. I just got my 16ch controller and started building some mini trees as well as a north pole for my "Tune to" sign. It's a new found hobby for my girlfriend and myself. I am really excited to get everything setup and ready for the holidays, haven't gotten to overwhelmed yet but assume I will once it gets down to last minute stuff. Any tips on getting everything setup and working correctly? I think I have everything in line, just a little nervous that it won't look good like all the rest of your guys. I have the following songs sequenced so far:THX Robotic IntroWizards in WinterAmazing GraceDoes anyone have any more 16ch sequences they would be willing to share? I am looking for "All I want for Christmas is You", "Greensleeves", "Christmas Vacation" and any others. Any tips on taking, let's say a 128ch sequence and getting it down to 16ch? I started going through a couple but it almost looks easier to start from scratch.Thanks in advance for the all the helpful answers and I hope to join the community a little more.

I do not remove anything cause you will probably need it next year when you buy more controllers!! Welcone to the crazy world of LOR.

Brian Mitchell Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 The easiest way to pare down a sequence is to watch it several times watching single elements for ones that you like the action of or for similar elements to your display. Then just copy and past those lines of sequencing into your setup. If you see parts of elements you want, just patch those into your sequence too. It really is faster than starting from scratch but it does still take some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rye381 Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Thanks guys for all the great tips!! I just started painting my North Pole, starting to look like something other than PVC pipe. I am working on getting my FM transmitter up and running but having a little difficulty getting the range I need. I bought the Black Belkin Tunecast 2 and the board looks a little different than on the White tunecast.Does anyone have any suggestions on getting the Black Belkin Tunecast modded?Ahhh, I am getting so excited to get everything up and running!!! My girlfriend is getting into a little bit but she thinks I am crazy, it's all I have been doing the passed couple of weeks.Thanks again guys for the tips, looking forward to showing pics once I am finished.

She goes shopping, I sequence. We are both happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
