The color commands also change colors REALLY SLOWLY.
Well, OK, really slowly is an exaggeration, but I tried to do a
quick change with one, and it failed miserably. They are wonderful for most other things, beautiful colors, beautiful changes, but if you want
snap color changes, not gonna happen. (The Color Merge, on the other
hand, does nice
snap changes though.)
Really, there is no good way to do the
snap changes your talking about with any changer/
scroller type thing. Anything I can think of will require more time then you want to move the glass/
gel scroll to the next color.
I would say either
a) get lots of Source4s (or whatever) with all the colors you want and hang them
b) rent a moving light with a color wheel. Color wheel should do some fairly quick snaps (though, of course, depends on make/model)
c) get 2 sets of Source4s (or whatever) with scrollers/changers.
system a turns on with color 1,
system b scrolls to color 2.
system a turns off while
system b turns on.
system a scrolls to color 3........ and so on and so on.
Of course, all of these require decent budget.
Oh, choice d would be to hang a red, green and blue light and color mix with those. Won't work perfectly, but always an option.
