Preview standalone effects
OCTO allows the preview of the standalone. Select the output to preview the standalone as shown in the
previous image.
If two different colour orders e.g.: RGB on output 1 and WWA in output 2 are assigned you can only preview
the effect on one output at a time. If you attempt to preview both outputs the following message is
displayed.
Standalone effects name
Up to 65 characters can be used for a standalone name. All characters are supported except comma (,). The
OCTO does not allow a standalone to be saved with an existing name on the list.
Standalone layers explained
When creating a standalone the light output should be visualized as two layers:
Background (controls shown in red)
Foreground (controls shown in blue)
The OCTO has colour wheel support for RGB pixel strip.
Background
By only enabling the background layer the pixel tape/dots will respond like a standard RGB tape.
The controllers affect the entire length up to the maximum possible pixels (e.g., 680 3-channel pixels).
Foreground
This layer creates effects that overlay on the background colour. The foreground can be:
Set to a constant color.
Dimmed.
Made to strobe.
Set to create patterns.
