Jason, I replied to you PM also. I am using 12 strips in a horizontal matrix. I use 3 SSCs to control each set of zig zags. Xlights does a great job of controlling this matrix. Last year I with Vixen I spent close to 20 hours just to sequence tune to in red only. I can do anything now in less than 20 seconds and in any color. It takes me a couple of minutes to export it to Vixen. I am having a blast with this matrix. I even sequenced certain words during the Mr. Grinch song. I wish it were 16 strips and next year I think it will be that large. I placed my strips the same distance as the nodes in a true grid pattern. I tried others, but liked this the best.
