Creating a Concert

This is a very useful way to create complex programs or rearrange the sequence of a large show

1.  Select more than one 

Show

,(3)The first Show LED will blink.  When that Show has 

 

finished running, the LED will stop blinking.

2.  The

 X-TREME 19C

 automatically starts the next Show.  LED will blink until show is finished.

3.  The

 X-TREME 19C 

will continue this cycleuntil all shows are played.

4.  You can add or remove Shows from the concert whenever you like.

TIPS

1.  The secret to good programming are the 

Speed

(14) and 

Rate

(13) settings. Too much dead  

 

time? 

 

Rate is too slow and/or speed is too fast. Not enough time to finish motion before next step?  

 

Rate is too fast and/or speed too slow. To start, set the rate low (near 0), and set the speed  

 

high (near 8 or 9).

2.  To help get the perfect speed setting during programming, listen to music with the same BPM  
 

(beats per minute) as what you will be using in your shows.

3.  After you have finished your show, go back and adjust the rate control for each step to get it  
 

perfect.

4.  For overlay effects, select a motion while a show is running, and 

 X-TREME 19C

 will merge the  

 

pre-programmed show with the added motion to create some stunning effects.  

 

 

 

Experiment to find the wildest variations of your pre-programmed shows to use in real time  

 

during a concert.

5.  Save a few short one or two scene shows in Shows 1,2,3. When DJing, just press all three 
 

and let them chase. For spontaneous spice, hit a manual key to synch all the colors, or all the  

 

gobos, or the shutters.

6.  In one of the 

Shows

, save a "focus" (all the projectors in a static position). Press this Show to  

 

get attention or add emphasis during a concert. A high-

 

impact move.

7.  Use the 

Up

 and 

Down

 (8) keys to skip or force the next step while running a Show.
