Title: A one song sequence from my 2013 show
Post by: plaberge on December 24, 2013,

Here's a video that I sent to friends and family as a greeting card featuring Carol of the Bells.

It's my first year with pixels. RJ, I am very impressed with the elegance of your design and architecture. Very cool! And Sean, wow! great work! It goes without saying that without Nutcracker I could not have put this together. Thank you and your collaborators.

For those of you who are interested, the .xml is attached.

Merry Christmas everyone. Looking forward to what the New Year will bring!

Very impressive Paul.  What sequencer did you use?  The effects were really great.  I tried to figure out how to use Nutcracker this year, but since I chose LSP as my main sequencer, I was put off by the difficulty of integrating the two.

Thanks! I used Xlights/Nutcracker for the pixels, megatree, stars and arches and Vixen 2.1 for the LEDs and old incandescents. I'm hoping to phase out a lot of those next year, we'll see how it goes. I'm not familiar with LOR but with Vixen I found it easy to import the .vix file. It's slow work sequencing in two separate programs as there is lots of manual effort to ensure the timings and effects match. When I have time, I'll post a video of one of the songs that illustrates the integrated effect.
