Radiator Laser Synthesizer
User Manual
Shape A and B
Shape generators form the basis of most laser output created by Radiator. Although it is possible
generate output signal directly from LFOs, most effects start with one or more of the shape generators.
There are many built-in shapes to choose from ranging from simple geometric shape to very complex
shapes complete with animation. The top left section of the shape screens show the currently output
shape. This will include any color information from the shape. Shape warp and shape types are listed in
Appendix E.
Shape Types
The shape generator system outputs 3D data plus RGB color information. It is possible to have 3D
shapes with depth that becomes visible when the shape is tilted or rotated using the Transformer or
Clone module. The speed of a shape playback is set via the Speed knob. The quality of the final output
as well as how the shape interacts with other effects is determined by the speed of playback. It is
recommended to use a speed between 30Hz and 60Hz to start with. High speed playback can put more
stress on your laser projector and also reduce the detail and resolution of the final projected image.
