KnightRider
This effect will use two colors only. It will run from Fixture 1 through Fixture 24 (Fixtures 1 to 12 on the 12/24
version). Each fixture will change color in sequence. Once all the fixtures have changed color the effect will run in
the opposite direction.
Chase
This effect will use two colors only. The Color Size setting will set the spacing for the chase steps. Setting Color Size
to 1 means all the odd fixtures will be the first color and all the even fixtures will be the second color.
The best way to understand the effects is to apply them to your LEDs and play with the settings.
