I'm attempting to program a simple 2 step program with a pair of Venue Thinpar64's but I must be going about this entirely wrong.
My end goal would to be able to have LIVE show 2 sets of colors ( for example red, green, blue A and red, green, blue B) a BPM slider and a master dimmer slider
Im looking to simply have PAR1 be one color and PAR2 be a second color and have it step back and forth between them.
(Example: step 1 PAR1 would be red PAR2 would be blue; step 2 PAR1 would be blue and PAR2 would be red)
I know I can Program these and have dedicated buttons for each color combo but I'd like to simplify it where I can just select color A and color B on the fly then control the dimmer and speed with sliders rather then having tons of dedicated buttons for every combination.
I tried to do this but am running into issues.
first I attempted creating a scene REDa where step1 PAR1 is on red and PAR2 is off for 1 second then step2 PAR1 is off and PAR2 is red for 1 second.
did the same with GREENa and BLUEa
then did opposite to create REDb where step1 PAR1 is off and PAR2 is red step2 PAR1 is red and PAR2 is off and so on for green and blue.
I realized with doing this that there is not a way to disable a channel within a step it can only disable for the entire scene leading to some overlap with the colors not being simply red and blue
Also if the play/stop button is not used the timing can be off leading to farther overlap adding the red and blue channels being on at the same time on the same fixtures and the other fixture being completely off.
Am I overthinking this or am I missing a crucial step somewhere? I would think it would be a fairly simple setup but getting it to work correctly is completely alluding me.
