Software capability question

Christmasaddict:
I have been running a very simple show (a single mega tree using 44 channels) for 4 years.  I have other lights as well but they are all static.   I am wanting to step it up a bit for next year and want to do the following:  Have an intro song that plays at the beginning of the show each night.  I would like to have some of my other lights that have been static in the past sync'ed to the intro song.  After that I would like for them to return to being static and only have the mega tree sync'ed to the music.  Is it possible to do this with LSP?  The syncing part is not difficult but having the same lights remain static for several hours is what I am not sure about.  Any help appreciated.

I think once the intro song turns finishes, it would turn off the lights that you want to leave static.  The scheduler could certainly handle the intro song.

Now to leave the lights on for the next few hours I think any other song you do or time would need to have them specifically on for the duration.  Maybe try a two or three cell animation only sequence that is several minutes long and tell LSP to loop it x number of times.  They had put a small delay between songs in the scheduler, but it might be really short now and not cause a noticable affect on the lights.

Not sure if there was an option to NOT turn off the lights at the end, might have to poke around for that one in the configuration screens.

Just use xlights/nutcracker --- it will more than do what you want ... and its free.  I think LSP is way more advanced than you need.

I had issues with my LE's with xlights, just was not reliable to get them on or off in schedule for me.  I am sure I didn't set something up correctly.

What problems you have Alan? I typically use HLS and then convert that to a xseq and use RGB overlay and all the DMX channels work perfectly (outside of the time when i tripped the circuit that the LEs were connected too). Xlights and LEs have been my go-to setup for basic troubleshooting.
