Shapes
A shape is simply a sequence of values which can be applied to any attribute of a fixture. A “circle”
shape, for example, applied to the pan and tilt attributes, would cause the fixture to move its beam
around in a circular pattern. You can set the centre point of the circle, the size of the circle and the
speed of the circle movement. The shapes are defined for particular attributes such as pan/tilt, dimmer,
RGB and color. Some shapes will not work with some fixtures. A rainbow effect, for example, can only be
applied to LED fixtures or CMY fixtures.
When you use a shape with more than one fixture, you can choose to either apply the shape identically
to all the fixtures, or offset them so that the shape runs along the fixtures creating “wave” or “ballyhoo”
type effects. This is called the spread of the shape.
Use shapes
When you choose a shape, it will be applied to all selected fixtures.
01)
Select the fixtures the shape is to be applied to.
02)
In the initial menu, press <Shape>.
03)
Press <A> [Playback a Shape].
04)
Select a shape type: Pan/Tilt shape, dimmer shape, RGB shape or Color shape.
05)
Press <Up>/<Down> to browse and confirm with <A> or < B>.
Most shapes are based on the current settings of the fixture, so a circle will move around the current
pan-tilt position of the fixture.
You can change the base value of a shape (e.g. the centre of a circle) by changing the channels.
This can be accomplished by using the faders in the usual way. You can reduce the size to 0 (see
next section) so you can see what the base value actually is.
You can run up to 2 shapes at a time by repeating the procedure mentioned above. The SM-16/2 FX
supports up to 10 shapes to run simultaneously.
In the Shape menu, press <A>[Edit Shapes] to view the running status of the shapes.
To apply the same shapes to two different groups of fixtures, the shapes will be shown twice in the list.
You can adjust the “two” shapes individually.
To delete a shape press <Shape>, press <Delete>, select the desired shape and then press <Enter> to
delete.
Each shape will work only on specific attributes. If a certain attribute is not available in a fixture, the
related shapes will not work.
Shape parameters
It is quite easy to modify the range and the speed after a shape has been selected.
01)
Press <Shape> in the initial menu.
02)
Press <B> [Shape Parameters].
03)
Highlight the desired shape with <A> or <B>. Then adjust the value of the parameter with wheels A
and B.
If more than one shape is running, the operation will only be applied to the current shape. In [Shape
parameters] you can edit the parameters of any running shapes. There are 2 pages of shape
parameters, press <Up>/<Down> to scroll. Use the wheels to adjust the parameters.
The parameters are:
Size:
The range of the channel data. When the value is 0, the shape will be paused.
Speed:
The running speed of the shape. When the value is 0, the shape will be paused.
Repeat (Drg.):
The period of a shape is 360°. This is the interval angle between two nearby fixtures.
Spread:
It means the total fixture number (not including the first fixture) in a shape period.
When the value = none, all fixtures will perform the same shapes;
When the value = 1, the first fixture and the third fixture will perform the same shapes.
When the value = 2, the first fixture and the fourth fixture will perform the same shapes.
When the value = even, the shape period of the selected fixtures will be distributed evenly to create
an even wave.
Direction:
There are four directions of shapes, it determines the direction of the shape. You can
choose “<-”, “->”, “<-->” and “-><-”.
