Overview
Thi

controlling intensity, colour & position, creating a simple
animation plus recording and playback. Training videos plus the
“Mantra Operation Manual” containing full descriptions of all

Mantra comes with a “Sample” show that you can load so that
you can familiarise yourself with the controls before patching
your own fixtures.

If you don’t need the sample show and want to patch your own
fixtures now, go straight to section 20.

you control might be……
