I am learning...Slow. I have made an led like equalizer and I am able to color the squares from green to red as they get higher, however, I noticed my uv coordinates on the cube I am using copytoPoints (the object to copy) don't get retained unless I pack and instance. When I do that I lose the RedShift Particle Attribute (Cd). I have tried to promote the Cd from point to vertex then use the Redshift Vertex attribute shader node, however, that did not take. This is the kind of thing I struggle with Houdini for hours trying to figure out. The led geometry took far less time to create.

thanks

Have you tried adding a Rest attribute with the Rest node?

Here's some useful info on the subject by the all knowing Matt Estela:
