Remember, the fader doesn't show you these options as selections - you need
to know them in advance! In contrast, Cognito's display shows Gobo 1 Wheel
Mode (yellow wheel), Gobo Select (red wheel), Gobo Mode (blue wheel) and Gobo
Index (green wheel). And, as well as showing "Dots" as the current selection, you
can see that moving one 'tick' forward would give you "Pinwheel" and one tick
backwards would give you "Open":
To rotate the Dots gobo continuously in the clockwise direction, the first handle
must be placed at 60%. That changes the mode of the second handle and the
10% position is now meaningless. To see a rotation of 4 RPM clockwise, the
channel must be set to 30%. (Where that value comes from is completely
arbitrary. Truthfully, you would never get a answer even if you were to visit the
factory and ask the firmware engineers!)
