You just have to run a show with all the channels going at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the lights are running, then a "show" is in progress.Your friend would need to create a sequence with all the lights on, and have it be the only sequence in the show for the static display.Then, on the weekends, you would run the show that contained your animated or musical sequences.

Then you'd program a loop in there to strech it out as long as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Can someone tell me if the extended version of LOR software is capable of running standard DIO cards and serial 485 dimming boards at the same time ie inside the same song sequence? Or is it one or the other....Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you'd program a loop in there to strech it out as long as you want.The only way I have figured out to have "static" displays WITH MUSIC, is to prepare Musical Sequences that are not sequenced to the song, ie. with all light channels turned "continuously on" while playing various songs.Unfortunately in Musical Sequences, Loops are not allowed. My goal is 7 minutes of static display and 3 minutes of show animations.After reading the blogs here at PC and my past years experience, I am afraid that without a static display, people will just stay in front of our house indefinitely watching the sequenced shows, effectively closing our street down. Our neighbors are very supportive of our display now, however if crowds just stay, that sentiment would likely change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite possible that if you have 7 minutes of static display, then people will wait around those 7 minutes for the show. Thus, your street is still shut down.On the other hand, if you are running only one or two songs at a time, then people will most likely get board with it and move on. Or ... they'll stay and watch it over and over.Honestly, I think you have to try both methods and see which one works for you in your situation.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Don,I think you will be right, . . . as usual! My "Plan B" is to quickly alter the shows depending on my experience as you suggest. Perhaps 15 minutes of static display and then one or two animated sequences. On our island, word travels very fast and I think with the MANY hours of programming 80 channels (estimated at 4 hours / minute of song), I have done for each of 10 songs, the display will "Sock their knocks off"!Your input is very much appreciated!GregPS: My viewing audience does not seem to get board with the display, they come back over and over, bringing friends and family each time. I think this is a good problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
