I have been using LOR for years and last year did the LOR S5 upgrade, and now this year going to try Xlights.
This is something I used in LOR S5. I like to program to the exact beat of the music and want "effects" to complete the effect over a selected set of beats (example of 8 beats of the music)
An example in LOR S5 I would do scrolling text left across a matrix over 4 beats of music. The image would start appearing on the right side on beat 1 and scroll off on beat 4. In Xlights I am challenged to set the speed manually to make it appear the way I like. To fast if starts over, too slow and it does make it across.
Another thing I recall doing was making a single spiral pattern go right for one beat, then have it go left for one beat. Then I copied and pasted those two "beats" over 32 counts. (multi paste is another post I need to do).
There were a bunch of effects that had that speed option in S5.
Is there a speed setting I am missing?
