Ok , been trying and trying , but not sure if this is feasible or not .
is there any kind of trick to get :
say you have 16 channels that you have on , on RANDOM . And you want them to all dim at the end while random cells are on ( say , you have them programmed for say ... 24 cells in length and want the last 8 cells blocks in length , to dim / fade out . Is there any way this can be done , without actually dimming each and every one individually ?

Yes, you can do that, but you don't use 'random' you use 'sparkle' ;)

Christmas magic should also work with random.

Actually, you can dim any pattern that you want. It’s a bit hidden, but it’s called Boolean.

You need to create the dimming pattern that you want to overlay with, somewhere else. I just use un-used channels that are in the same time frames as I want. After you create the dimming ramp, highlight it and copy it. Now either use the arrow keys to move the highlight area to where you want the dimming ramp or click the first upper left cell of where you want the ramp to start. Right click the mouse anywhere on the grid, move the mouse over ‘More Paste’, then ‘Boolean’ and then click ‘AND’.

You can actually do this to combine any two patterns.

I asked KC for this feature specifically for the dimming function. If you understand Boolean, I ask KC to add them all.

BTW, the Boolean function can also be found under ‘Edit’, ‘Paste’. The right click way, just get s you there quicker.
