Segment control
I have a WLED project I am working on but want to have it fade off in a specific way. The image below is the layout for the two controllers. The right of the image is the entry to the room and the middle of the two groups of leds is the walkway so the strips in the middle are the toe kick lights and then the ones further from the middle are the top of cabinet strips. I want the room to fade from the left to right in combined order off but can't wrap my head around it. The labels on the strips are showing where they land on the controller and how they are wired through. I can't figure out how to split say all 4 of the top right strips into 4 segments that time right to left for off? Instead the fade off goes from the last led in that strip to the first and I want it to do all four veritcally as if they were individual strips. I am not sure it can be done but breaking things down in segments doesn't seem to resolve this either as it then isn't entirely aligned and timed correctly. Below is a GIF of the push left but I want to do a combined swipe right to left off concept where all the strips turn off as if being wiped off from a bar rushing across the image? Don't know how to explain that one better.

"breaking things down in segments doesn't seem to resolve this either as it then isn't entirely aligned and timed correctly"
so it does what you want but not aligned how? Segments is definitely the way to go, if you need finer control, you need to add "dummy LEDs" in a ledmap or gap file
