I am trying out Vixen 3.1u2, but I have hit a little snag. I'm not sure if a chaser is actually the effect I want, but it is appropriate in other sequencers, and seems like it should be right, here. I have tried using a chaser as well as several other candidate effects, but I can't get any of them to work. I have five different groups defined in the display, and each group has five individual single color light strings (red, green, blue, purple, pink) defined in the group and patched to 1 DMX port each. I also have an RBG LED string defined as as single element, of course tied to 3 DMX channels. What I want to do is have all the strings chase in unison: All the reds, then all the greens, then all the blues, etc. Preferably this would be a single effect spanning at least all 5 string groups, although a separate effect for each group would not be too bad. I definitely don't want to have to create 30 different pulse effects and splay them across the timeline.
How would I accomplish the same effect (i.e. the same color chase) on the RGB tape? Can it be included in the same chaser?
Finally, I also have a 4 channel RGB DMX strobe. The first channel controls the strobe rate (128 - 255) or the intensity (0 - 127) of the lamp, while the second, third, and fourth channel controls the intensity of each individual color. How do I get a chaser to do the same thing for the strobe as the RGB tape, but adding the additional intensity channel?
