Ron Amedee Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Great canvas to start with !!! Wrap every window one channel each. Net light over each bush...Outline house..5 hours overtime each week for more lights and extension cords than you ever dreamed of....Seriously though...Download a picture of your house into the visulizer..Convert with paint into a 128 bit size and start drawing your display..one dot at a time and one channel at a time... Run the visualizer to see what it looks like in a song. Call Dan and order 4 more controllers..Call mastercard and up your credit limit...Welcome to the insanity !!!!

Brian Mitchell Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I can definitely see all the bushes chasing. With 48 channels you can have several different props but not trick them out completely till you have more channels. You could have 4 arches and tie them together and use just 7 channels. Instead of seperating all the windows, you could have like 3 zones and have 3 colors on each zone using just 9 channels for the house. If you want 3 colors on all the bushes, just seperate them in one color to chase (like white) and tie them together on the other colors.You can make a mega tree that looks great with just 8 to 12 channels even with 3 colors.8 slices in one color, 1 channel color 2, 1 channel color 3, 1 channel topper, 1 channel for strobes.You will have a lot of the infrastructure already done to expand easily.You just have to decide what props you want the most and see how you can work them within your channels.

cbraz70 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 i meant 64 channels hope that i have before christmas depending on the boss and she thinks im crazy planning this now but i just dont want to go crazy when im trying to figure this out at christmas time . yes it does sounds good and i do want a 15' mega tree and do you say tie the arches to the bushes. im actually building an arch as we speak. 16 bushes on 1 side and 5 bushes on the other side of the walkway. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Mitchell Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'm saying tie the arches to each other so they all work together as in this videoI had 3 colors on the house with only 48 channels as in this videoSometimes pictures explain better than words.

cbraz70 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 thats cool i like your arches i was only thinking of 2 arches but now that i saw yours 4 arches looks alot better. how did you do the strobe light in the background is that dedicated to 1 chanel or more.

Brian Mitchell Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 The strobes are all on one channel. Think I had about 30 of them at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
