Varying Strobe

avsmediaMember

Hi there!

New to the forums, searched around didn't find anything so I figured I'd ask. I have 6 generic LED "bricks" as I call them. The fixtures have a strobe function as found in basic shutter presets, 0-6 BO, 6-15 All LEDs @ Full, 16-255 Strobe Slow-Fast.

I've seen concerts where they have lights all strobe differently. They are slow flashes (maybe 2 per second) but no two lights are on at the same time, giving a pretty cool effect. Is that only a feature found in the higher-end lighting desks or can I replicate that in Compu Show?

What happens now is I set the strobe on the page, but all will flash at the same time. I guess I'm trying to set "phasing" for my strobes if that makes any sense!

Thanks!
Adam

do these have a full 0-255 DMX range for dimmer intensity? If so, you could put them all on the strobe setting you want and then use easy time to create a "curve" effect on the dimmer channel but use the square wave and then adjust phasing to your liking. Does this make sense?

Hi James,

That makes perfect sense! They do have full dimming. I will definitely try this out tonight.

Thanks so much for your help!

OR, use easy time on the RGB channels and then use a color effect. choose random and jack the number up too 10 and do every other "color" white and the opposites black then jack up the speed and increase the size. Then after you generate the effect on the time line make the "duration really small and have it loop. might even be too fast for the DMX too keep up LOL.
There i'm not giving away anymore of my programming secrets hahah. :P
Have fun and please post video or pics.
