Light Show
Page 57
For example: if you’ve got 4 Futurescan 3’s, 4 Gladiators and 4 Galactic Moons, you
will get good results if you have the left-hand Futurescans on Group 1 and the right-
hand ones on Group 2, the top 2 Gladiators and the bottom 2 Galactic Moons on
Group 3 and the rest on Group 4. But experiment! You can change the group settings
while the light show is running.
How Light Show works
The controller produces the light show as Chase B, but working as a ‘background’.
Normally Chase B will be added to Chase A and the currently selected scene, but the
light show only affects channels which would otherwise be zero. This means that any
channels you set will be excluded from the light show.
Note: If you set a head’s gobo to Blackout, the controller sets a special
blackout value (not zero). This enables it to tell the difference between a
head that has not been set, and a head which you have deliberately set to
Blackout.
If you are in Chase Select mode, you can select Light Show as one of the chases
simply by pressing the Light show button. The controller will automatically replace
Chase B with the Light Show (even if you are in Chase A select mode). You can
change the speed, crossfade and sound trigger of the light show using the sliders and
Sound button exactly as you would for any other chase. You can cancel Light show
by pressing Cancel (as you would to stop a chase) or by pressing Light show again.
If you select a different Chase B this will also replace the Light show.
Note: Chase Link mode does not operate when Light Show is selected, and
Chase Auto-select mode won’t change chase B if it’s set to Light Show.
