Just turning on the lights?

[Gary N]

This is my fisrt year with LOR. I been working all year, and I think I have a great show, 32 channels, about 14,000 LEDs. I have played around with sequenceing, and decided to use Richard Holdmans 2010 show. It was one of the best ideas I had, not only is it one of the best displays I have seen, but it is how I have learned how to use the sequence editer. I have learned alot this year, about LOR, using a Computer(which I also had to buy, and figure out), and so much more. The forum is great, I just started using it a few days ago, and I been reading , and reading, very helpful. Everybody seems to be very helpful.

 

Hear is my question, stupid or not. How do I turn on my lights with out a show. Am I missing something in LOR?

 

I figure I have to run a sequence of just the lights on for 5mins. or so, call it show and run it. Calling it lights on.

 

Next I run that from say 4:30 to 6:00.  

 

Next run my musical show from say 6:00 to 8:00.

 

Next go back to my lights on show from 8:00 to 10:00.

 

Do I have this right, or is there so other way to turn on the lights?

 

And if I make a sequence of just lights on, whith no breaks in it, will it repeat over and over with out the lights  stopping inbetween?

Take a look at this article. It talks about creating a show that is very similar to what you are looking for.
