Hi out there,
using the speed dial widget: does anyone know how to keep chasers in sync than do not share the same amount of steps ?
Say, chaser A has 4 steps and chaser B has six steps, they are running out of sync ...
Thx.
How can I keep chasers in sync

To be more clearly:
Total run time: 1 sec. (speed dial in VC ist set to 1 sec and the multipier is set to 1)
Chaser A has 4 steps, so every step has to run 0,25 sec.
For that, I will set the multiplier to 1/4.
Chaser B has 6 steps, so every step has to run 0,16 sec. (est.)
For that, I will set the multiplier to ???
In the end, chaser A will be finished before chaser B or chaser A will be interrupted before finished.
For sure, I can search the least common multiple and duplicate steps - but that gets unmanageable quite fast
And will not work with RGB scripts - which I use a lot
For now, it seems undoable, perhaps QLC will offer free multipliers in the future...

Thx for your reply, but adding dummy steps is completly different from changing the timing...
One cannot run - say - red, green blue and then "off" just to stay sync with a chaser - say -
red, green, blue, white, amber !
The first one needs a multiplier of 1/3 whereas the second one needs 1/5.
And even worse, if you wish to combine - say - the first chaser with a 8 step chaser you have to duplicate
each chaser for each possible combination.
The only true solution are free multipliers in the speed dial widget, I'm afraid.
