Dr_Aplet Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 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.

Orville Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 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.

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' https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e4fCmZIMR9d62H0WTl5PVQBa7giJ8Zql/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
