We have used ADJ lights for 20 years. Traditionally, our simple light show consisted of a chase of four PARS and 4 effects (we call them RACE lights -- Redundant Array of Cheap Effects) - easy for a non technical DJ and cheap to repeat.
While I have other LED PARS and colorstrips, when the FX Fusion Bars came out, it was
exciting because you get several effects in one small box. We can run a small light show off of two FX Fusion Bars.
I don't like the fact that, unlike some other LED PARS, Colorstrips, or panels, there are no built in programs via DMX. (The "Dummy" mini controller doesn't give us enough control). In the PAR world, I like selecting the pattern that we use on a T16F or in the old days, Lightcraft).
Now to the point, I am looking for ideas to program the LED Wash of the FX Fusion Bar 2 or a series of LED Pars.
In the PAR world, I have a list of at least 30 chase patterns that have been used on various controllers such as:
1,2,3,4 (each light blinks on and off)
1-2,3-4 (2 step program with light 1 & 2 on and light 3& 4 on)
1-2-3-4- (all lights on)
1-2-3,2-3-4,3-4-1, 4-1-2 (dark chase)
In the LED World, here are some examples,
R-R-R-R (all Red on each LED PAR or FX Fusion Bar sections)
BG-BG-BG-BG (Blue green on each LED PAR)
R,R,R,R (Reds chase)
Etc.
Even if there was a list of what scenes (short of recording them by watching the light) these lights do so they can be recreated.
Does anyone have any good LED PAR / FX Fusion Bar chases that I could program into MyDMX, a DMX Operator, or a DMX Duo for my staff to make it easier for them?
While you are at it, any good scanner programs, chases or sequences - maybe written in MyDMX. We also have X-Scan LED's.
In summary, I am looking for cool chases and pattern ideas for programming.
