Sequence - A Christmas Storm - Ashba

Store sequences may be available in the following formats (depending on the song):

• Traditional Layout – Ready To Go (v3.8.0+): This sequence layout has 68 AC channels and 32 dumb pixels (like 10W floods). No effects for smart pixel props or singing faces are included. The sequence is encrypted so no changes can be made (no props can be added), and you cannot see or modify any sequence effects. 
  
• Traditional Layout – You Can Modify (v3.8.0+): This version of our 68 AC channel and 32 dumb pixel layout can be modified so that you can modify or duplicate the effects to fill up to 240 AC controllers for your customized layout. You can add in your own smart pixel props and effects to this version of our sequence, but no effects for smart pixel props or singing faces are included. Purchasing a You Can Modify sequences allow you to see how the experts create effects.

• RGBPlus Layout – You Can Modify (listed per sequence. v5.6.0+ or v6.2.0+): This version of the sequence contains sequencing effects for nearly 7000 smart pixels (84 smart pixel props). 68 AC channels and 16 of the dumb pixel floods have been added to this layout, but effects have been altered from the Traditional Layout to account for the inclusion of smart RGB props. Singing Face sequencing is also included in this layout. The RGBPlus version is only available in modifiable format so that you can make edits or transfer the sequencing effects to your own preview with ease. Depending on the song, RGBPlus may be available in the Christmas Layout, Halloween Layout, or a discounted Combo ("C+H") Package.

• Singing Face Standalone - You Can Modify (Trees v5.3.0+; Pumpkins v6.2.0+): This 'addon sequence' includes effects for Light-O-Rama V1 4-Mouth Trees and current V2 10-Mouth Trees, or V2 10-Mouth Pumpkins. Combo Packages ("C+H") have both the files for Trees and Pumpkins included (for applicable songs). Singing Face Standalone Sequences do NOT require the purchase of any other Light-O-Rama sequence for use. All RGBPlus sequences contain effects for the respective set of faces for the holiday layout. RTG and YCM Sequences in the Traditional Layout do NOT contain effects for any singing faces. You may manually copy the sequencing effects from a Singing Face Standalone Sequences into your own display, or into a purchased YCM sequence for the same song. Singing Face Standalone Sequences may NOT be used with a protected Traditional Layout RTG sequence. These sequence files are NOT 'Motion Paks' (discontinued Oct '22). They will NOT merge automatically into other sequences.

This sequence purchase does NOT include a music file.

Light-O-Rama is great at making the lights dance but the required music is not part of the sequence or the sequence price. We suggest purchasing this music through Amazon (or the alternative link provided on the first tab) so it is licensed to you for personal use.  

The duration of the music must be the length we specify.  Any other music version might cause the effects in this sequence not to be in time with the music. 

The music files you purchase must be downloaded to your computer. The Sequencer cannot access cloud-based files stored only in Amazon Music. If you do not download music files immediately after purchase, visit the 'Amazon Cloud Player.' Find the appropriate music for your sequence (the music you just purchased), drag it to the download section of the screen (typically on the right side of the Amazon Cloud Player window) and wait until the file is transferred to your computer. After this is complete, you can run the installer program that came with your sequence purchase. 

What if Amazon removed the music? From time to time, Amazon removes the ability to purchase the music we've recommended to go with our sequence. If this happens, please send a message to our help desk to let us know.

Amazon.com not available in your country? Locate the music in your country and purchase the file. Make sure the music is the same duration as we require for this sequence.  Download the music file to your computer.  Now install this newly purchased Light-O-Rama sequence.  The Light-O-Rama installation program will find the downloaded music associated with the new sequence and link everything together if the music file is the same length.

Commercial Entities: If you charge for entry to see your show, you will need an extra form of music licensing, such as from BMI, ASCAP, SESAC, etc. Your finance department should have more information about which music you are licensed to use already, or be able to fill out the application for a new license if needed.

How do you install this sequence on your computer?  

You should already have a working version of Light-O-Rama's ShowTime Sequencing Suite software installed on your Windows based computer before downloading this sequence.

The music for the sequence should already be purchased before you attempt to install the sequence on your computer. You can find the Amazon link in the 'Description' tab. 

• Traditional Layout ‘Ready To Go’ and “You Can Modify’ sequences require LOR 3.8.0 or higher. The license level you use (Basic, Standard, Pro, etc.) determines how many controllers you can use.
• RGBPlus sequences require either version 5.6.0 or later, or 6.2.0 or later (depending on when it was released). The version required is indicated right above the purchase price of each sequence. You must be using the 'Pro' license level to use any of the smart RGB effects in the sequence.
• Singing Face Standalone sequences require version 5.3.0 or later at the Advanced or Pro license level.

The ShowTime Sequencing Suite is available at several different levels.  The level determines how many light controllers the sequence will operate.  

• Demo: See all the features and effects, but no commands are sent to any controllers   
• Basic: Will work with AC controller ID 01 and 02
• Basic Plus: Will work with AC controller ID 01, 02, 03 and 04

After purchasing this sequence, an email will be sent to you with download instructions. Download the zip folder following the instructions. Open the folder and double click on the installer program (.exe) inside. The installer will prompt you to locate the music on your computer, which you should have already purchased using the Amazon link before attempting to install this sequence.

The program will unpack the sequence and install it in your default ShowTime Sequencing Suite directory.  Upon completion, open up the Light-O-Rama Sequencer and navigate to the newly installed sequence in your default sequence directory. 

If the audio is not working (it should work automatically though if you located it during the installer prompt), open the Sequencer program, click on the menu options Sequence -> Media File. navigate to the correct music in your audio directory, select it and save your work. Watch this video if you need a visual: https://youtu.be/pKfytk4N_eU
