I've got some led fixtures patched that are controlling LED Strip,
I want to make the red channel do a slow pulse. Is there a way to add an effect to a dmx device or infinitely loop a section of the timeline until I send a command to jump to a different cue?
PB is a Round Peg in a square hole for this job... but it's what I've got.
I want to be able to do this within PB, not interacting with any other software like WD
Running PB 6.0.5
TIA

Hi,
if the stripes are art-net devices you can patch them with the matrix patcher and use a graphic layer with an fx to control them.
if not you have to use a second timeline.
Best,
Benni

Thanks Benni,
I am trying to avoid using any graphic output for this solution,
Can you explain what you mean by using a second timeline?
Thanks
Lewis

Hi Lewis,
Benni pointed out 2 very good solutions.
Second timeline solution means using advanced timeline programming mechanism to change only 1 parameter of a fixture which is used on sequence 1 from a 2nd sequence. But you have to be careful with sequence defaults. Keywords to look after are "Enforce defaults" and "Toggle Keymode".
http://www.coolux.de/root/downloads/sup ... quence.htmMore information about advanced timeline programming is provided in our "Pandoras Box Timeline Programming Training".
cheers
