One thing for creating scenes that I did for on the fly stuff rather than programming it all in was to create very simple steps, then just add them together on the fly with the control panel buttons.
I setup a page with buttons for colors. Whatever color I want, I just choose it. Then I setup another set of buttons for gobo. whatever gobo I want, choose it. Then I setup some movement scenes. My old roboscans don't strobe or rotate, but you could add those buttons as well if wanted. I did setup a single button on a totally different page with the strike command to ignite the lamps. Mine can't be shut off with DMX, but you can put that control button on another page as well so you can do it if necessary, but won't on accident.
This way you could easily on the fly adjust colors, gobos, and whatever movement pattern you wanted, and not have to make literally hundreds of programs for all the different combinations you might want to select on the fly.
One more thing..get a touch screen. Makes it WAY faster and easier to select your scenes.
Just my thoughts.
