RaceMedic Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I am stumped but probably a simple answer.I am trying to twinkle my CCR in 3 colors .. red green and white.When I do the white twinkle it actually twinkles random colors.What am I doing wrong ?!Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james campbell Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 nothing, twinkle flashes random channels across the controller so you will get many different colors. now shimmer on the other hand you can make green red blue and whatever other color you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceMedic Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 James ....I can twinkle the other colors .. ie ... if I make it a red twinkle it will twinkle red only but the random color only occurs in in the white !!Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried purple and it changed between blue red and purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james campbell Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 straight from the ccr user guide[align=left]Color Effects[/align][align=left]There are two ways to manipulate the colors and/or[/align][align=left]intensities of the logical pixels. The most familiar[/align][align=left]way is to set or fade the RGB channels. This[/align][align=left]permits great control but can be tedious. The[/align][align=left]second way is to use a Color Effect. When using a[/align][align=left]color effect, the RGB channels should be off.[/align][align=left]Setting the intensity of channel 155 to one of the[/align][align=left]following values selects the color effect:[/align][align=left]Twinkle Effects[/align][align=left]1 – Twinkle red[/align][align=left]2 – Twinkle green[/align]3 – Twinkle blue[align=left]4 – Twinkle red + green[/align][align=left]5 – Twinkle red + blue[/align][align=left]6 – Twinkle green + blue[/align][align=left]7 – Twinkle white[/align][align=left]8 – Twinkle random (red, green, blue)[/align]9 – Twinkle random (2 million colors)never used this option but maybe now I will:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceMedic Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Sorry ... clear as mud.How do I set an intensity level on channel 155 ?!I have been trying to figure this out but have not done this before !Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 In Sequence Editor, when you create a CCR (or CCP in my case), it will create the 50 RGB channels (that's 150 channels), and then the macro channels right after that. Therefore:151 = LR = Logical Resolution152 = MM = Macro Mode153 = MS = Macro submode154 = ME = Macro Efect155 = CM = Color Mode156 = CS = Color Speed157 = CI = Color IntensityYou can set a intensity on the macro channels just as you would for anything "normal" channel.Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceMedic Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 OK .... Now I am making myself look stupid.So to get the macro effect I thought I had set channel 155 to an intensity setting and the lines filled in like any other channel. The rest of the Channels 1 - 150 are off !?Nothing happens when I run the song !What am I doing wrong ?!Sorry ... just don't understand this and no samples shown in the user guide !Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the Channels 1 - 150 are off !?When you use a color effect (channel 155), you also have to set the color effect speed (channel 156) and the color effect intensity (channel 157). All other channels should be off (unless you are also overlaying a macro effect).To get the brightest twinkle, set channel 157 (color effect intensity) to 100%. Experiment with different values for color effect speed (channel 156). I don't remember what intensity will get you the same speed as a regular controller's twinkle. I would start with channel 156 at 50% and adjust from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
