You will add the DMX channels how ever many you have, they should show as all black cells. with the button name new rgb on the left. if you click on the name of the channel this is where you address the universe, and the button name and channel numbers rgb is always 3 separate channels one for each color. to the left of the button name you will see the 3 colors click them this will expand each cell for each color you would program the separate colors how you want them, to close the channel just click the 3 colors again and you will see it as all black cells again with the colors showing as it would appear on your prop.

 

 

I hope this helps this to is my first year with RGB good luck with your quest!!!

Here is a link to LOR's video on color fade (for the same color start to finish just pick the same color to start and then to end).  For fade to or from black pick black as the start/end color.

Just keep in mind that with basic RGB (Dumb) each pixel in the string will react as ONE pixel (all do the same thing).

Also, dumb does not necessarily mean dmx.

You can have dumb RGB with the LOR cmd24 DC card or the other older DC card made by LOR (the 16 channel unit).

In the case of the 24 DC card, you would just add the 24 channels for the controller id into the sequence editor as you did with your AC controllers, but then you convert the channels to RGB as necessary. You may not need all channels for RGB.

Then use color fade to make the colors.

Don't forget shimmer and twinkle!! Twinkle + white is rainbow colors.
