Multi-Sequence
Descriptions:
Version A:
A 20-second continuous, repeating loop of 8 different chase patterns, with each pattern lasting 1-3 seconds
What Patterns Multi-Sequence Goes Through
1) Performs a basic chase, with all tracks chasing to the right, 6 times, at a fast speed
2) Performs a chase, with all tracks chasing in the opposite direction to the left, 6 times, at a fast speed
3) Alternating tracks flash on and off together, at a very fast speed, 32 times
a. This means that all of the even tracks will flash on together once, then all of the odd tracks will flash on together once, and this will repeat until both sets of tracks have each flashed on and off 16 times. This creates a shimmering or glitter-like effect.
4) All of the tracks build up, and then turn off. This repeats 4 times.
5) All of the tracks turn on together, and stay on together for a 3 second hold.
6) All of the tracks flash off together, and then flash on together, 3 times.
7) All of the tracks turn on, and stay on together for a 2 second hold.
8) All of the tracks chase back and forth, at a fast speed, 6 times.
*At this point, the cycle goes back to step 1 and repeats.*

Many different displays can be wired to run a multi-sequence pattern at the same time, using the same controller. Some of our customers wire their entire holiday home displays, including the lights on the house, an arched tunnel of lights over the driveway, a tree of lights, clusters of dancing bushes and trees, and more using just one of our smart chasers, set to run the 4 Track Multi-Sequence pattern! Commercial holiday light parks across the country also use our multi-sequence pattern throughout their parks to animate shapes, clusters of shapes, multiple clusters of different shapes, and walls of lights. Popular items to animate with the multi-sequence pattern including trees, bushes, stars, snowflakes, poles, posts, tree trunks, fence sections, parallel strands of lights across a roof, parallel strands of lights on the ground, arched tunnel displays, walls of snow made out of lights, chase lights, and much more. The list of different light displays that can be animated beautifully using our multi-sequence pattern is nearly limitless!
Our 4, 6, and 8 track smart chasers can handle up to 45,000 LED mini lights or 2,100 LED C7 bulbs (or up to 5,000 incandescent mini-lights or up to 350 C7 incandescent bulbs), when running the multi-sequence pattern. Our 4 ,6, and 8 track smart chasers are all rated for up to 18 amps on at one time. (The above bulb counts should use approximately 15 amps, thus ensuring that you are not overloading the controller.)
It IS important that you pay attention to your bulb counts and amperage when using our multi-sequence pattern, as there WILL be points during the multi-sequence cycle when ALL of the lights wired into the controller WILL come on at the same time. Thus, total amperage for all of the lights wired into the multi-sequence pattern on one controller must be 18 amps or less if you are using our 4, 6, or 8 track smart chasers. (The 3 Track Smart Chaser can handle up to 10 amps on at one time, and we also offer customized programmable controllers that can handle more than 18 amps on at one time.)
Present Throw
Descriptions:
Basic Description:
A lock-step pattern used to animate any sort of tossing motion, where two tracks come on with step 2, and then one track stays on while the other track(s) continues to chase through a basic chase pattern
How This Pattern Works:
• Step 1: the arm with the hand holding the ball, present, or item to be tossed lights up in a position behind the character.
• Step 2: the back arm turns off and an arm holding the present in front of the character lights up (making it look like the arm moved forward to begin to “toss” the item).
• All Remaining Steps: the front arm stays on, in its position in front of the character, as the item that was tossed lights up along an arc. The item then moves through the remaining steps, as it is “tossed”, until it reaches its end position.

Bowling
Descriptions:
Basic Description:
A reverse lock-step pattern where the last track (the upright bowling pins), comes on with step 1, and locks on as the other tracks go through a basic chase, until the last step (when the upright bowling pins turn off and the knocked over bowling pins light up)
How This Pattern Works:
• Step 1: bowler is lit up as well as the pins. The bowler is holding the ball behind him, with a 3x delay.
• Step 2: bowler’s arm moves in front of him, while holding the ball, with pins lit.
• Step 3: the ball continues to advance down the lane. (Pins stay lit.)
• Step 4: Second to Last Step: ball continues to move down the alley, lighting up in different positions, until it reaches the last step.
• Step 5: Ball is in its final position, and stays on while pins light up in the air, from being knocked over.

Cannon with 2 Arms
Descriptions:
Basic Description:
An 8-track only pattern in which a character fires a cannon, and then the cannon ball moves through a series of steps
How this Pattern Works:
A character (such as a soldier) moves his arm from an upward position (step 1 with a 4x delay), to a downward position (step 2 with a 4x delay). After the delay, the character’s arm goes back to its upward position, as the cannonball lights up (step 3). The cannonball is then released and moves through an arc of positions (steps 4-7), until the last step. On the last step (step 8), the cannonball disappears, and fireworks light up and stay on for a 2x delay.
Animated Examples:

Cannon with 3 Arms
Descriptions:
Basic Description:
An 8-track only pattern in which a character fires a cannon, using 3 arm positions instead of just 2, and then the cannon ball moves through a series of steps
How this Pattern Works:
The Cannon with 3 arms works almost the same way as the cannon with 2 arms. The main difference is that instead of just an upward and downward position for the character’s “firing” arm, there is a third, middle arm position in between them.

Tennis with 2 Arms
Descriptions:
Basic Description:
An 8-track only pattern in which 2 characters hit a ball back and forth, using an underhanded (tennis-style) arm movement
How This Pattern Works:
Two characters, positioned on opposite ends of the display, toss a ball back and forth to each other, using an under-handed tennis-style toss. The left character's arm moves upward as it tosses the ball in step 1. Then, the ball arcs through 8 positions to reach the right character. The right character's arm moves upward to toss the ball back (in 1 movement) through the entire arc. The characters (and their arms/ tennis rackets) remain lit the entire time. Each character has 2 arm positions (down and up) and the "ball" or item being tossed, has 8 positions.

Descriptions:
| Basic Description: | An 8-track only pattern in which 2 characters hit a ball back and forth, using an underhanded (tennis-style) arm movement |
| How This Pattern Works: | Two characters, positioned on opposite ends of the display, toss a ball back and forth to each other, using an under-handed tennis-style toss. The left character's arm moves upward as it tosses the ball in step 1. Then, the ball arcs through 8 positions to reach the right character. The right character's arm moves upward to toss the ball back (in 1 movement) through the entire arc. The characters (and their arms/ tennis rackets) remain lit the entire time. Each character has 2 arm positions (down and up) and the "ball" or item being tossed, has 8 positions. |

Tennis with 3 Arms
Descriptions:
Basic Description:
An 8-track only pattern in which 2 characters hit a ball back and forth, using an underhanded (tennis-style) arm movement that has 3 arm positions per character instead of just 2
How this Pattern Works:
The Tennis with 3 Arms pattern works almost the same way as tennis with 2 arms. The main difference is that instead of just an upward and downward position for the characters' "swinging" arm, there is a third, middle arm position in between them.

Fishing with 3 Poles
Descriptions:
Basic Description:
An 8-track only pattern in which 1 character (in this case, a fisherman), uses 3 different arm positions to cast his fishing line, catch a fish, and pull it out of the water

Golfer, Version 1
Descriptions:
Basic Description:
An 8-track only pattern in which 1 character (in this case, a golfer) uses 3 arm positions to pivot a golf club back and forth behind the tee twice, and then hits the golf ball through an 8 position arc, to land in the hole
How this Pattern Works:
A golfer, with 3 arms positions, pivots the golf club back and forth (behind him and at the tee) twice. He then pulls the club back behind him a third time, swings the club forward, and hits the ball, with the golf club stopping in a third, upward, post-swing position, past the tee. The ball then arcs through the air, and lands on the ground/in the hole, going through an 8 position arc in the process.

Golfer, Version 2
Descriptions:
Basic Description:
An 8-track only pattern in which 1 character (in this case, a golfer) uses 3 arm positions to pivot a golf club back and forth behind the tee twice, then hits the golf ball through an 8 position arc to land in the hole, all while keeping the golf club behind the tee
How this Pattern Works:
The Golfer, Version 2 pattern works almost the same way as Golfer Version 1. The main difference is that in version 2, ALL 3 of the golf club's positions keep the golf club at or behind the tee. The golf club/ arm position is always at a behind or low position, never in an upward, post-swing position in front of the character.

Baseball with 6 Balls
Descriptions:
Basic Description:
An 8-track only pattern in which 2 characters play baseball, with the right character throwing the ball and the left character hitting the ball back
How this Pattern Works:
