Which controllers do you have, and what do you plan to have driving your sequences?

[phildo]

CTB16PC is the model of controllers i have

thanks for all the help

With a PC, you can write sequences that only use some of your 32 channels, and then you can write other animation sequences that only use the remaining channels, and are your chase sequences. You put your sequenced sequences in the musical window of the show configuration, and your animation sequences in the animation window. Hook up both controllers to your PC, and you should be ready to go. That way your chase sequences will loop continuously, as long as that show is running, completely separately from the sequences.

I don't know for sure if you can do the same with one MP3 director or not. You could have one MP3 director drive the sequenced show on one controller, and a mini director run the chases on the second controller.

You can not use the hardware utility and the sequence editor at the same time.

thats kinda what i was thinking it was a long shot if i could use the hardware utility and the sequence at the same time

thanks for all your help

if anyone has any other ideas i am open to just about anything i an making a tunnel with 20' arches probably 8 arches with 1000 lights per arch guess just have to use the animation and loop it to get the effect i am looking for

thanks again
