Laserworld Showeditor 2015
Version 2015/1.0 2015 Page 124
After having selected the music file and specified the name for the show, the Figure
Editor automatically opens the show folder and loads all available figures and frames
to the Figure Table.
The creation of the show can begin.
If the show shall be programmed with using a *.wav-file, but the show shall run with
an *.mp3-file later (due to file size), put both files into the show folder (they must have
the same name, just a different file extension). After having finished the
programming, delete the *.wav-file. On reload of the show a message pops up,
stating that the music file is missing. Go to Options -> Tab Show and select the *.mp3-
file.
9.2.5. New Showpart
It is possible to create showparts that are all saved to the same show folder. Each
showpart is treated as “figure” and also appears in the Figure Table. They can be
assigned to a key, like a normal figure, and be used within a live show or in a timeline
laser show.
There are some limitations:
 A showpart shall not contain calls of other showparts (no cascading of
showparts).
 If several showparts are running at the same time, the last called event has
priority.
 It can happen that one showpart stops the playing of another one under certain
circumstances.
 Showparts are no real figures or animations, but they are small shows that call
figures and apply effects to those.
 It is suggested to arrange each showpart in a way that after the sequence has
been run the called figures are terminated.
 Showparts can be used in the Live Window, too. That way it is possible to call
figures and effects for several tracks with only one key.
The creation of a showpart works similar to the creation of a complete laser show
(Timeline Show). The showpart, however, is meant for not being a whole show but
e.g. the refrain of the song, that shall be repeated one or several times later on.
To create a showpart, click on New Showpart, select the music file (mandatory, even
if the showpart is played without music later e.g. in the Live Window) and record the
events for the showpart like for a normal laser show. All effects and figure tracks can
be used.
When having finished the creation of the showpart, click on Menu -> Showpart ->
Create Showpart from Sequence. By doing so, the created showpart is saved to the
Figure Table as figure. The Timeline Editor then returns to the actual show. The
showpart is then available in the Figure Table as a new “figure” with yellow design.
To edit the icon, right-mouse-click on it, select “Edit Showpart Icon” and specify the
thumbnail.
The showpart itself can also be edited with a right mouse click on the icon. The
program opens the Timeline Editor and automatically loads the showpart for editing.
