10 Simple Effects – Shape Generator
10.1 Creating a Shape
Depending on what you want to achieve, we have two effects engines in Titan – a shape
generator for more simple effects, and a pixel mapper for more complex ones.
With shape generator, there are 3 parameters you can change for any shape – size,
speed and spread, and the shapes are arranged by category. Go to [Shapes and Effects]
and then choose [Shape Generator].
First, select some fixtures, [Locate] them and then select [Create].
10.2 Saving a Shape
Once you have an effect you are happy with, you can then use [Record] to save it into a
playback. If you use Record by Channel then you can overlay this effect onto whatever
playback is currently active.
Under [Playback Options] on Softkey B in the root menu, you can toggle whether a
shapes size and/or speed is being controlled on a fader.
You can also record shapes as palettes into the Shapes and Effects Window. For more
detail on this, please refer to a Titan manual.
