Does Polychrome have the capability to cycle through multiple colours?

I just bought an x570, really love that blue-purple gradient shown in the marketing images, and wanted to recreate that and have the colours flow through a couple colours, but it seems like the only options I can find are "Rainbow" or a static colour which goes through patterns.

Pretty much every RGB software I've used before can do this (Aurasync, Roccat Swarm, and even NZXT's awful CAM software could at least go back and forth between two colours).

Thank you and have a great day,

it seems it can't. Even the sync with Chroma Connect from Razer doesn't work properly.

I already opened a topic for this asking for some kind of update to at least works as it suppose to with Razer Chroma.

But to be honest, i doubt they do something about it. There are plenty topics about the problems with the Polychrome already and little attention to them. Mine is a x570 Phantom Gaming 4 btw

Thank you very much - based off this, I figured I would go in and just do a static one-by-one.

Unfortunately, after trying putting in the colours for each RGB zone on the mobo, I tried to do it to the ARGB strips for my case. After I punched in the colour, i tried to go through and set them one by one too. When I scrolled all the way to the bottom (RGB 0) I tried to select the colour. After this, the strips shut off and immediately stopped being detected by my motherboard.

Anyone have an idea on how to get them working again?

MOBO: B450 Steel Legend
ASRock Polychrome RGB ver:2.0.38

a. Open CMD as an administrator (type "CMD" in search bar right click & choose "Run as administrator" from the context menu)
b. Go to RGB app installation folder by typing "cd C:\Program Files (x86)\ASRock Utility\ASRRGBLED\Bin\"
c. Flash the RGB chip using the following command "wICPFLASHADSBv2 /File=nu51_3.04" - this takes around 15 seconds.

Ive been having this issue as well, but the advice youve suggested doesnt work for me? Do you know of anything else that would help?

It didn't work for me at first, but I force closed Polychrome, then did the steps, then uninstalled and reinstalled Polychrome before trying to open it.

Was it working before you had polychrome issues?

I just wish that they at least add a Gradient option to make the addressable headers actually "addressable".
