Default Sunlite Question - Random Strobing?

I posted this on another lighting forum but there were no replies, so I thought I'd try my luck here.

I'm not a big fan of Nicolaudie's Sunlite, but it's really cheap to hire ($50 for a couple of days as opposed to $300-$400/day for a Hog 1k or something similar), so I regularly find myself using the software on show's with a small budget. Unfortunately I find that the software is really limited with what you can do... especially when you move from solely working with Hogs for 3 yrs. It's a big slap in the face when you move from a stable, really flexibile console to something that crashes every 5 minutes.

Anyway, has anyone figured out a way to replicate a random strobe effect with Sunlite? I've searched through and pressed every button but nothing seems to work.

Cheers,
Liam

Hi Liam,
I would think any questions regarding SL would have a better chance of getting first hand answers if posted on the SL forum at http://www.nicolaudie.com/forum_support/
I don't consider myself a SL expert or even a lighting designer as I am basically a 'noise' guy.
Running a small SR & Lighting business I also deal with the lighting 'stuff'.
I have only recently moved to SL, and contrary to your impression I find it very stable, user friendly and extremely versatile.
To answer your question regarding generating a 'random' strobe effect.
You should create a scene button and open its editing window.
There you have the option of creating a sequence of steps (Easy Step) at which you can have different fixtures go on, leaving 'empty' steps (steps with no fixtures operating) in between and assigning different duration times for these.
Hope I was clear...
