If you have selected an effect in the effects generator, each time you press the
[Create Wave]
button you can move the default angle of the previously selected DMX
devices, so that a wave motion is created. This assumes that the default angles of all
selected DMX devices are initially identical. This is the case when you select a new
effect. First time you press the
[Create Wave]
button the DMX devices execute a wave
motion.
When pressing the
[Create Wave]
button a second time every second DMX unit
swivels 180°.
When pressing the
[Create Wave]
button a third time the DMX devices perform a
wave movement in reverse direction.
When pressing the
[Create Wave]
button a fourth time the DMX devices return to
their home positions.
Example
In the
‘Program Mode’
you have selected the desired DMX devices and opened the
Effects Generator. Use the slider to adjust the value 128 as an effects mid position for
rotation and tilt. Now you can select the effect ‘Sine up / down’ and choose speed
and size. All selected DMX devices perform the same movements (sinus-shaped from
bottom to top) in sync with each other.
A soon as you press
[Create Wave]
the synchronous movement changes to a wave
motion, which continues gradually through all the selected DMX devices. When you
press the button next time the devices split up in two groups that perform alter‐
nating movements opposite to each other. If you press
[Create Wave]
again a back‐
ward travelling wave is generated. The wave disappears when you press the button
again.
If you have selected an effect in the Effects Generator, each time you press the
[Randomize]
button will change the default angle of the previously selected DMX
devices randomly and independently from each other, so that a seemingly random
motion occurs. Each time you press the button again, the unit generates a new
arrangement of values, thus creating a new movement pattern.
To stop the random function, simply press the button for the desired effect again, for
example
[Triangle]
. The last set values for size and speed are maintained.
Example
In the
‘Program Mode’
you have selected the desired DMX devices and opened the
Effects Generator. Use the slider to adjust the value 128 as an effects mid position for
rotation and tilt. Now you can select the effect ‘Wild’ and choose speed and size. All
selected DMX devices perform the same movements (complex asymmetrical pattern)
in sync with each other.
As soon as you press
[Randomize]
the movement is random. All devices move, but in
a different way. When you combine this effect with a small circular Gobo, you get a
great searchlight effect with just a few keystrokes.
