Aurora and Firefly

Rather than hijack the RBSD thread further...

At this point (and it will change) the only way to use Firefly with any sequencer is to create 48 channels (16 Red, 16 Blue, 16 Green). Depending on which ones are turned on and how bright each one is determines the color emitted. The big hitch here is that currently, Aurora only sees 16 channels per Unit ID. This may or may not be applicable depending on how the FireFly Legacy Mode works - Legacy mode may be 16ch with 3 IDs - we'll see in a few weeks.

So, using W2E (waveform to event), you can theoretically cycle through an entire shade of one color (dependent on the activity of the other two colors), or by alternating the W2E on alternating R/B/G tracks you can cycle through the entire 16+ million.
