Color Blaze tips please?

Experiment with the Effects Engine, I'm not super familiar with it myself but I think this would be your quickest way to get some flashy effects if that's what you're looking for. If I'm looking for a specific chase, let's say a bounce between red and blue, I'll make a cue stack and set it to a chase, this works best for me, but it can be accomplished in the effects engine as well. If you let us know more specific things that you're trying to do, we can offer some more detailed help.

Make buddying and grouping your best friends. You can find some intense looks using these functions along with the effects engine. It will give you the ability to do some more interesting chases. I would definitely suggest addressing them as many channels as you can (on the 6' blazes you have 12, on the 4' blazes you have 8). It will just allow you to do as much as you can with the effects engine.

Thanks will try that tonight

Justin,

In addition to color fx, experiment with intensity fx. Try different fx curves such as snap ramp combined with various offsets to get very different types of chases.

Be sure to read the fx section of the manual if you haven't already.

+1 to what Phil said. Intensity effects are wonderful on those blazes when used, especially the ones he's talking about.

I would also recommend playing with fx on your hue and saturation parameters.

Examples:

if you bring your fixtures to full and set the hue to 0 degrees, applying an effect to the saturation parameter will fade your cells from red to 'white'.

If you instead set your saturation to full and apply an effect to the hue, you will get color shifts throughout your cells. (Hint: Apply a tangent to Hue for a quick and easy rainbow effect.)

You should be sure to use the latest version of the software, as there was a recent bug fix that stopped LEDs from popping to white randomly during these types of fx.
