Sound Active

The  X-Pod

®

  Router  responds  to  notes  in  music  and  runs  through 

available laser patterns. Sensitivity  to sound may  be adjusted using the 
knob  on the rear of the unit. The X-Pod

®

  Router  responds  to two sound 

active modes.

Automatic Sound Active Mode: Cycles through the pre-programmed 
patterns and chases built into the X-Pod

®

 Router. To activate this mode 

switches 1 and 10 must be UP/ON and all others must be DOWN/OFF.
Random Sound Active Mode: - Randomly turns Pod heads on and off 
at intervals in the music. To activate this mode switches 1, 2 and 10 
must be UP/ON and all others must be DOWN/OFF.

Auto Mode

The Router  replays  all available  beam  sequences in  order  and patterns 
will change at four frames per second which is very near an eight note of 
a 120 BPM song. The X-Pod

®

 Router has two automatic modes:

Standard Automatic Mode: The Router cycles through the pre-
programmed patterns and chases built into the X-Pod

intervals. To activate this mode switches 2 and 10 must be UP/ON and 
all others must be DOWN/OFF.

DMX Mode

The Router responds only to DMX  control  inputs  from an  external DMX 
controller. Sound Active  and Auto modes  are  also accessible via  DMX 
Channel #1. Access  DMX  Mode by ensuring that pin  #10  is DOWN/OFF
