robert seguin, jr. Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 survived my first year, down loaded and adjusted sequences, to fit my 24 channels, now i have some time to try sequences myself, starting by setting up the channel configueraton, placing light in the visualizer, is there anyway to place spaces between the channels, but not have them be "channels" just place holders, ex: under eves....mini trees....maple trees....,so, choose song, set up channels, set light in visualizer, export channel configuration i welcome anyother suggestions, thanks

Paul Roberson Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I agree with Jim, (edit) and Paul, but to answer your question yes you can.Just right click on a channel. Click on add channel (above or below). This will add the new channel (space) just don't assign it a controller or channel number and it will work.btw. If you need a space between 'regular' channels I recommend adding a "RGB channel" as your space. It will be a black line on the sequencer. Will work as a space as long as you do not make any channel/controller assignments to it.

robert seguin, jr. Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 all good ideas i will research the use of tracks, it really gets confusing all the block start to run together, and i only have 24 channels, thanks

Amen!!I can't even imagine (any more) the nightmare programming would be without tracks. Especially with many RGB channels.I'm still a firm believer in keeping a 'master track' with ALL my channels in it though.
Guest wbottomley Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Oh come on people.I have 600 channels and all of them are on one track!Download them and see for yourself.http://www.highcountrylights.com/sequencepage.htmlIt takes manly sized gonads to do that.Timing grids I love, tracks I hate. But, they may come in handy with RGB this year.

IS there a tutorial that explains how to use tracks? I have 64 channels now, and planning on adding 32 more for 2011. I'm currently not using tracks, but I would like to learn, encase I want to later.

Then it appears on the channel list as a blank box. Works nicely for seperating diffrent items in the display.
