The new rectangular nodes are pictured here. http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=9967.0 (http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=9967.0)
Just an FYI when programming a start channel the color order is off if you select rectangular node. I am not sure if node selection is just changing color order or not, but I found that (by happy mistake) selecting flex strips it resolved the issue.
Also, many are stuck together and I found a great way to separate them is to use a 5" putty knife put between the offenders (watch wiring) and applying wack or 2 from your "fine adjustment tool" on a hard surface...

I've been using a utility knife to separate them.

What ever works for you. I tried a utility knife but I needed to apply enough pressure that I was either going to cut my thumb or wires off. Maybe I got an exceptionally bad batch... I had been riding Ray for 2 months for those nodes.
You notice the color order? Maybe it's me or each batch is different?

Ive just used 20 for my tune to sign, but they are on test mode.

How are you testing if the colors are off? I used the color finder and found that I had too had to choose another option when programming the SSC to get the colors to match. When I ran my show though, the colors we off so I switched back to rectangle node in the SSC utility. I can't really explain why they are different. I had some older rectangle nodes from last year and they work perfectly with both the color finder and LSP using the correct SSC utility setting.
I also have 60 spliced together and one batch of 20 has slightly different colors at times. Sometimes its perfect and other times one section of 20 is way off. I will post some videos.

Here is the link to the video. http://youtu.be/9bsrqIIt5pk. The lower right set of nodes has the issue. Sometimes the colors are off, but other times works fine. I am going to double check the sequence. Maybe an issue with how I generated the transition, but I don't think so.
