Nutcracker and rainbows
« on: May 13, 2012, »
I attended a Nutcracker demo at the NW CLAP recently.
RGB lends itself to making rainbows.
Can I get a rainbow effect (a semi circle or less) using what's already available or do I need to ask for something more?

I would have to assume there is a mathematical equation for rainbows.  Who would know??   ::)

You could look at it this way.

A rainbow is simply multiple arches.

An arch is simply a pole bent into an arch.

Sean,
  Your CLAP demo was much appreciated.
  What techniques do people use to synchronize Nutcracker output / designs to music?
  Making a rainbow out of arches is a distant second to what you do.
  Thanks,
  Rbar

There is a new feature of nutcracker that will allow syncing the effect to your music. It will be released in the june/july time frame.

Currently people load the effect into their sequencer then cut and paste it to their real sequence to place it where they want it.

i plan on having rgb arches in my yard so i will be supporting them in nutcracker. probably this summer.
