fixtures stop flashing. This tells you that selecting another
fixture will cancel the previous selection and start a new
selection process. This speeds up operations because you
don’t have to de-select fixtures once you have set their
attributes.
For example: Open the Colour Picker App and fade up fixtures
1 and 2. They are automatically selected. Pick a colour. Fade
up fixture 3 and 4. This de-selects 1 and 2 and selects 3 and
4. Pick a colour for 3 and 4.
Automatic fixture de-select can be overridden by holding the
[
Select
] button whilst selecting additional fixtures.

Animate Apps
Animate Apps provides a simple and intuitive way of creating
chases and moving patterns. They work with 2 or more
selected fixtures and they shift the attribute settings (such as
colour or intensity, position or beam) from one fixture to the
next and loop the settings of the last selected fixture back to
the first. There must be at least one different setting amongst
all of the selected fixtures so that you can see the different
setting being shifted from one fixture to the next.
Example 1:
Let’s create a 2 colour animation using RGB LED fixtures 1
through 4:
•
From the “Home” screen, open the “Apps” page then
touch the Colour
Picker
app icon.
•
Fade up fixtures 1, 2 and 3. This automatically selects
them.
•
Select a colour (say Red) by touching the colour picker.
•
Fade up fixture 4. This automatically deselects the
previous selection and selects fixture 4.
•
Select a different colour (say Blue). The output is
shown in “Step 1“ below.
•
Tap [
Back
] once to return to the Apps screen then
open the Colour
Animate
app.
•
Select all 4 fixtures by fading them up to full or tapping
their buttons then touch
Create
.
