I am slowly changing my truck over to all Soundoff. (for the most part) Down the road I might get Blueprint. I have a couple questions. I am not a computer guy so how hard/simple is it to program?

I have dual color Intersectors and mPowers. When using the patterns on Blueprint with a dual color light head is there off time between colors? When I use the internal flasher on these lights and you use dual color there is some off time between colors.

Any input would be great.

Blueprint programming can be as simple or as advanced as you want. If you just want to turn lights on and off with the switches, it is very easy to do. As you get more advanced and start taking advantage of the matrixes and using multiple logic considerations, it can get trickier.

You have a lot of flash pattern control so delay between color changes should be easy.

It's basically user opinion. And my opinion is the software for Whelen Carbide and CanTrol WECAN is easier then bluePRINT.

The bluePRINT software features has been improving slowly over this past year. But there's still some quirks; like cruise flicker (they're version of Whelen Steady Flicker) only available for perimeter lights and not the lightbar.

As far as down time between flashing colors, no. Think of it like opposite phases; it's gonna flash one color and immediately flash the next. With bluePRINT you can only select between two phases.
