Cyndie Neill Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I'm trying to find a simple explanation of how to use channels 151-157 in sequence editor to program my CCR's. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Is there a list of some sort that explains exactly what needs to be done for each channel to sequence them to get the effects described in the programming guide? Scrolling through all the channels to set and effect is making me crazier than I already am!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Yes, read the manual for the CCRs. It explains the macro channels. If you don’t have the manual, you can download it from the LOR website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyndie Neill Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Yup, read several versions of it and am still having issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Cherry Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) You cannot do that, the Macro Channels will always be there and cannot be disable. Start the next CCR @ 160 or 161. Edited February 28, 2018 by Dennis Cherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I don't know what Dennis was answering, but other than reading the manual and a little experimenting, I can offer no suggestions. Personally I have never used the macro channels, and see little reason to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I'm not sure what Dennis was answering either. But if it was anything to do with deleting the macro channels, I've done that with every CCR/P/B I have and each device still works just fine without them.

Dennis Cherry Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Its apparent you did not read the manual closely. A CCR is a 50 pixel device, but LOR has the controller set for 157 channels. The first 150 are the pixels and the 7 remaining are the macro commands. They are assigned to that device and cannot be used to control another device unless you want some funky lighting. i have used CCR's since 2008 and understand how to make them work either in LOR or DMX. Read page 7 again in the CR150D manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea of what he was answering either. But at least now I have several more explanations of what CCR's are, that I really didn't need, and misinformation about being able to remove them, which was never the question. Guess I'll go through every version of the programming guide and put all the examples in a spreadsheet and work them from there.....there's only a couple effects I'm really interested in that just take tooooooo long to do without the help of those channels.....

ItsMeBobO Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 The macro channels can be a great help to create some effects. You are not locked into the way the manual describes them. You can delete them or just never create them and you wont miss them. If needed you can add them later. If you are using them for any kind of matrix you should really consider moving them all together to a group instead of at the end of the 50 pixels they will control. If people are interested I can do a live meeting on this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to describe the effect? From your question here it doesn't seem like it's so easy to do with the macro channels.

Cyndie Neill Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 The random strobe would be nice. I'd like to do a random strobe, let's say in white, and put it over a fade or chase of a different color. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyndie Neill Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 I would love some kind of class on how to get those little buggers to work the way I want them to. I'm just using the CCR's for arches, but they can do a whole lot more than just fades and chases and I'd like to get them figured out before I re-sequence my entire show for this year. Thanks!

When you want to use it, paste it to background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
