First I think that it is important that we clarify a few things before we get to details.
1) Macros are preprogrammed effects that are built into the
fixture, they can usually either be started through the onboard menu or with a controller. When using a controller there is usually one control
channel which, when set to a given
level runs a pre-programmed
macro. As far as I know there are no fixtures that allow you to add/delete/or modify any built in macros.
2) Chases are (as stated by tcahall) a series of looks played back in arder with some kind of timing. A
chase requires a
console that supports running chases, effects, or a series of auto follow cues. Chases can be modified.
Moving on...
So does that mean, I can have moving lights like the macros installed at the Factory in the Martins by doing this?
Well, by definition you have moving lights as the SCX500 is a moving light. I assume you are asking if you can create movement effects similar to the built in macros. In short yes, but you have to program every look that you want to be a step in the
chase. With the Chauvet controller you have to program each look as a scene and then you can create a
chase that plays back those scenes. For details on how to do this you should probably read the
manual for the
console.
The caveat to this is that you have to have the controller on and connected to the fixtures to run your chases as the fixtures don't store them. So if you are used to running your fixtures in standalone mode this will be different.
