I don't have a sequence to share at least at the moment.  but rather i need help with a part of christmas canon.  i have 32 A/c chanels this year so i am trying to improve my sequences. 

so around 1:10-1:42 the violins pick up.  I have 3 artificial christmas trees that are lit with white lights that i would like to utilize.  I would love any suggestions for how to sequence them.

If the violins have a wide array of notes, you can pick out the strongest chords/notes in the violin section, 3 notes or chords, and activate {turn on} the lights on one tree for say like a note of high C, turn on the 2nd tree for a different note, and finally the 3rd tree on the 3rd note.

Or you can just take each section of 3 different notes and turn on each tree for each note, like say you have notes C, F and B, then you have notes G, A and D in the next segment of the area of the song, tree 1 could be for Notes C and G in differing sections, tree 2 would be notes F and A, and tree 3 would be notes B and D.  This is how I would do it in my sequences with items that were on an AC Controller that each item was only a single color.  Although to get creative, and if you have the spare channels, making each tree 3 separate colors {total 9 channels needed}, then each tree could be a different color, so you'd have them changing colors using the same methodology, and this will also give your viewers a more interesting effect with more variety.

This is how I'd want to do it, but all depends on how many extra {if any} channels you have to work with in how you set it all up.

Good Luck.

Orville Here is what I decided on.  What do you think?  Hopefully I don't have any embarrassing mistakes this time.  I know i have a lot going on in the sequence and i would appreciate any feedback.  I want my look to be classic and not cliche'
