Editing Artist Help: Colour Scene

The purpose of this scene is to provide a rapidly stepping colour sequence and therefore this scene will contain only data pertaining to the colour mixing parameters. The scene is intended to be used as a component in building a cue. 

The Method
From the Fixture View toolbar activate all fixture and set the preset levels in order to see what we are doing. Using the predefined pattern combo box in the select Odd. Set the desired colour for these fixture (i.e. number 1 and 3). Now select Even and set the colour for these fixtures.

Click New Scene in the Master/Program Control window. In the Program Data dialog select the Color Only filter and click Save + No Clear. This will save only the colour parameters to the scene.

Now set a new colour for the currently active fixtures (i.e. number 2 and 4). Select Odd and set the colour for these. In the Master/Program Control window click New Step. The settings should already be that you previously select and you need only click Save + No Clear. This will now add a step to the scene you created. There are now two steps defined in the scene.

This is repeated for step 3.

Activate all the fixtures and select Color Mix parameter in the Fixture View toolbar. Go to Fixture Control Panel/Fanning and click the Rainbow button and adjust Brightness and Contrast. Add this step.

Still in the Fanning window select First and adjust the colour for the first fixture. Select Last and set the colour for the last fixture and thus define a graduated colour display. Add this step.

The last step is another graduated colour display.

Double-click on the scene name in the Scene List View to open the Scene Control Panel and adjust the rate to about 0.5 seconds, select Random direction, select Control All in the Fader Mode and select Linear in the Default Link type combo boxes.

Because we want the colour to snap between steps, click on the ramp button in the Rate control. The button will fill red and the steps will snap.
