I am 72 years and my hobby is Electronics. Boss, you are really great!! I have been struggling to achieve this. It is very frustrating to do it just by tweaking alone and you made it simple. Thanks for helping newbie community like us.
I'm thrilled this could help you! I use this with most all sequences with a beat. In 2 years, the developers have now added the click/drag to grid and now shows you the number of timings in that click/drag. No more counting, just click/drag and pause for a moment, the number of timings will be displayed beside the mouse pointer. :)
Great tip! I was doing lots of copy/paste of the left-right effect pairs. It was pretty easy but your tip of using cycles makes sense. Like you , I use "bouncing arches" in many different sequences so this little time saving trick will pay off. Thanks
Trying to chase down a line that goes from horizontal to vertical (it makes a 90 turn) and once the lights get to the corner it lights up the whole strand. Is there a setting I am missing?
Your video was very informative, and I plan on taking advantage of it. I am on a Mac (Sierra) and have downloaded the latest xlights, but I am unable to replicate your arch sequence. I have 3 arches defined, grouped them together, but when I run a single strand sequence it (bounce left), my sequence starts at the very start of the first arch, travels through the second, then ends at the third, then bounces back the other way. As opposed to your sequence where you see a bounce at each arch. Is it a Mac thing or am I missing something obvious in my set-up? Thanks in advance.
Hi there! Was wondering how you were able to get the individual arches to act separately. Are they all on different universes?? I have mine grouped like you do...

Love it. Thanks for taking the time to share
great tip. I was also doing 1 per beat, and just copy 16 or 32 times.
Nice -- very clear!
Dude you rock!!!

Make 2 separate groups
I got it! I added them into a group and then made it a single line instead of a grid.

Please disregard my previous. I figured out the error of my ways (operator error).
I cant figure this out and am having the exact same problem? Trying this with 6 arches, but it chases across all six very fast?

Have to play with the settings of the Single Strand effect. Should work for you just fine.
