Is there a way to set different patterns for different strips attached to the 8x driver? I’ve been pouring over the documentation but all I can find is each strip and have it’s own color order. Am I missing something? I want to have 4 individual strips all with different patterns running. Then when the sensor board detects loud sounds, change all the patterns. If it’s already been discussed can someone point me there? Thanks! ---

Hi @Emanate , There isn’t a segment pattern feature, but there are ways to do this in patterns, and some great existing frameworks for doing that! See > [@Multisegment Control Pattern (& others)](https://forum.electromage.com/t/multisegment-control-pattern-others/477): > > I’ve just uploaded my multisegment pattern to the library - multisegment.js. It allows you to subdivide an LED strip into multiple, independently controllable segments. For each segment, you can control on/off state, color and brightness, and size. You can also set per-segment effects and control their speed. The slider UI allows you to play with all the settings. You can also control each segment via json from an external progam – it exports an array per segment with all that segment’… and > [@Multisegment pattern](https://forum.electromage.com/t/multisegment-pattern/1103): > > Hi all, I just got a Pixelblaze, I’m completely new to addressable leds and I must say I’m very impressed with the possibilities. I’m building a modular light for my girlfriend’s birthday, one where she will be able to connect wooden blocks that will contain a set number of leds(around 15 per block), and make any shape/length she wants-she loves puzzles and light, so I know she will love it:). I have solved all hardware issues, connections etc, but the code is way beyond my abilities. I’m try… ---
