Yes, you can do that with any command.  Be away that the W2E, depending on the complexity of your audio track, can take a 30 seconds to a  minute or so to process, ESPECIALLY if you choose a large section.

just to add a little color to that...

- "Firefly" is not just the pixel strands.  It also includes the controller (and power adapter) to drive them.  They do NOT plug into a regular ACx16 or CTB16D controller.

- The D-Light USB485 adapter is highly recommended since it is required for firmware updates.  However, you can run your show with either vendor's adapter.

Firefly is a D-Light product, and as such you need to use the D-Light USB RS-485 adapter to control it (and update it).  Fortunately, Aurora can handle multiple networks.  One for LOR, and for D-Light.  I happen to use two networks in my show.  One the the ACx16 and DCx16 controllers (via wiLink), the other being the RS-485 for firefly.  You need not worry about LOR hardware working with D-Light hardware as Aurora can control both at the same time.

Thanks Chris!

The grabber button sounds convenient, but so far I haven't changed very much of the intensities.  I imagine that'll come with time.
 
Then I'll ignore the RGB button until I get some Firefly strands.  Saw Tony's at Light Up Ohio, NICE!!! Just thought of something, will LOR hardware support Firefly strands? Not that I'm getting any soon, just curious.  Although I did read somewhere about a sale sometime.
 
Tks!

--Wave event form matches the intensity of your lights to the intensity of your song.  I use it in all my voice over section. It work really good to make the lights look like they are talking.

--Grabber button is basically a copy button for your light commands.  You can click on any light command in your sequence and it will make that command your current command. It just saves you the time of having to go back and reset a ramp or intensity values. 

--No, it is red/green/blue.   Pretty much used for D-lights Firefly and flood light mixing.

I've mastered Smile , yea right, the four basic display features; the all on/off, the ramps, shimmer, and twinkle.  However I have no idea what these three buttons are for?
 
What does the waveform to Event copy button do?
 
What is the grabber for?
 
What is the RGB button, guessing it is not red, green, blue?
 
Tks!
Joe
