6. Gobo
You enter Gobo Set mode by pressing the Gobo button. You can then directly enter
any of 16 gobos (patterns) by pressing the number buttons. You have got to select
one or more heads before you can set the gobo.
For CE range lighting effects, the controller will tell you what gobo you have selected.
For other units the controller will display a gobo number. If you are using an effect
which has less than 16 gobos, you will find that some of them are repeated.
Note: If you’ve got several heads selected and they are different types, the
controller will display the gobo names for the first selected head. The
gobos on the other units may not match the display.
On CE range products:
• press 1 for ‘open’
• press 2-14 for patterns
• press 15 for strobe (you can vary the strobe speed using the speed slider while
you are in gobo select mode)
• press 16 for blackout
On other products, the gobos produced by selecting each number will vary depending
on the type of effect. On the “general” types of head, you can also select gobos using
the Value slider.
Note: On the Galactic Moon CE, the colours and gobos are on the same
wheel. You can select the colour/gobo combinations using either the
colour or gobo controls, but remember that changing the colour will also
change the gobo, and vice versa.
If you press Cancel, the gobos on all the selected heads will be set to blackout
(zero). If you were changing a scene, the gobos will go back to how they were set in
the scene.
When you are in Gobo select mode, the Value slider allows free positioning of the
Gobo channel. This lets you fade gobos, where the head has this function. At all other
times the Value slider gives free positioning of the Colour channel (except in Chase
mode).
