Create Color Rainbow Phaser

This topic is about creating a rainbow color phaser. It creates the rainbow chase using three steps with a primary color in each step.

Requirements:

• Have a show with some fixtures that have a color mixing system (not color wheels with static colors) - for instance, the demo show.
• Have three color presets with Red, Green, and Blue colors stored using the color mixing system. These exist in the demo show file.
• An open Step Bar can be useful.
• An open Phaser Editor window is needed.
• Arranging the fixtures in the 3D window can be useful, but it is not a requirement.

These are the steps needed to create the phaser.

1. Select the relevant fixtures.
2. Turn on dimmer so the output can be seen.
3. All presets can store phaser data. This means that color presets contain information in step one (as a default), but this needs to be integrated into the relevant phaser steps. The first step is going to be red.
   Press MA + At to get the Integrate command, then select the red color preset.
4. Create the second step by tapping the right-pointing arrow in the step bar.
5. Now the green presets need to be integrated into this step.
   Press MA + At to get the Integrate command, then select the green color preset.
6. Create the third step using the arrow again.
7. The third step needs to integrate the blue preset. Use the same method as described above.

Now the phaser editor should something like this:

All the fixtures now change color together through the rainbow colors. If this is the desired result then store this in a cue or preset.

Phase can be used to spread out the rainbow across the selected fixtures:

1. Select all step by tapping the Select All Step button in the step bar.
2. Tap the Change Phase button on the left menu in the Phaser Editor.
3. Tap 360 on the right menu in the Phase Editor to spread the fixtures evenly.

The result could look something like this:

This can be stored as a preset or in a cue.
