My pixel mega tree won't stay on colour

[Mick]

I just set up a mega tree with 16 strands with 50 pixels on each pixlite 16 controller. I was playing around with some effects in nutcracker but I want it to stay one colour  on the pallete it's ok on the display but when I out put it to the tree it is multi colour.  Any ideas what I did wrong .

Need more information but this can happen for many reasons.

Here are couple to look at

* You have more than one color selected on the color wash effect and it's changing colors
* The morph button is selected
* You're looking at the palette of effect 2, but the effect selected is effect 1
          This one get's me often if I'm not paying attention.

* Your model is not set up properly and instead of 123, 456, 789,  it starts at  234, 567
What ch# does your pixel tree start on?

I checked the first things you suggested but I think I may not have it set up right . I start on 2 universe and  1  to 512 and then  next universe 3 and channel 513 to 1024 and so on on exlights nutcracker.  I have the advatek configuration  on universe 2 and star channel 1 . I want to also put my lor controllers in the first universe. 1 and I have 80 channels

You can't use all 512 channels in a universe for RGB.

Pixel 170 uses channels 508,509,510   That leaves pixel 171 with only 511,512.
From there, the rest of the colors will be messed up.  Change your config to use only 1-510 and it will work.

Pixelnet and Falcon hardware users get to use all 512.  The hardware does not force us to toss out those last two channels.

Thank you I will try that
