Nutcracker Effects / Re: Twinkle

So when I check the strobe check box I get a much better random pattern but would like more softness.

Nutcracker Effects / Twinkle

« on: October 17, 2017, 10:04:02 PM »

I have converted a number of sequences from Vixen 2 and I am not getting a good twinkly effect. I have played around with the settings and the repeats are frequent.

I have 16 snow flakes, single channel LED each.

Any thoughts how I can get a good random effect?

Vixen 2.x, Vixen+ / Re: Vinen 2.1 not importing correctly

I think I have figured out this one.

1) Convert the Vixen 2.x file to LOR using the Tools/Convert menu

2) Create a new sequence using the new LOR file just created and use the Import Effects

This seems to work quite well

Before I go nuts I need to confirm that if I have 300 channels numbered 1 through 300 that I need to defing 300 channels in xlights. In other words the import is not using channel number to map channels but rather some other method.  Since vixen maintains unused channels I will need to find som way to define these in xlights.

Am I missing something here?

Am I guessing correct that I must have ALL of my Vixen channels defined in xlights.

I am on xlights 2016.50

I have been unable successfully import Vixen 2.1 effects into xlights. It appears that the individual channels are not being mapped correctly.
