Is there anyway to merge 3 generator files in to one ?

Post by fabio1605 »

Hi

I just want to confirm this but on the generator is there anyway to have fixtures doing different paths? as an example

I know you can use the SHift function to kind of delay them a bit, but i need the fixtures to follow different paths altogether.

i have 3 different fixtures, and if they all follow the same generator path they are not very good.

I assume you can only have one path on a generator(i.e you cant have a 3 fixtures following a different path)

If this is the case - is there anyway to merge 3 generator files in to one so that the 3 fixtures work together?

my light show is on this post if you want to look at what i mean

In a Generator project, each channel can have effectively only one curve.
We use the "Macro" in Live, to trigger several scene buttons together.

Please note that, in V8, it is possible to set "pallets" points in a curve in Generator. This means the channels can finally execute different curves.

Hi

So best way would be to create the 3 different generators - and use a macro to trigger them all at the same time?

I can't get my head around paletts and generator? is there any sort of guide or tutorial - i am using V8 Alpha

Live in V8 is able to play native Generator projects ; so a Macro can trigger several Generator projects.

Sorry but there is no V8 manual for now.

How do you do this?

Add 3 gen buttons and then just update the mac as you would with scenes?
