synchronous to the sound file.
As the Timeline consists of many different rows – most of them used for effects – it’s
important to understand that the figures must be placed on the line named “figure”.
The featured “Grid” and “Zoom” help with proper music synchronous positioning of
the figures.
It is possible to put figures to several figure tracks per output channel.
With using the “Effect Tool” (see red arrow in next Fig.22) it is possible to change the
effect values and create additional figure animations.
After a click on “Effect Tool”, the area the effects shall be applied to must be
marked. When having marked the area, a dialog box shows up (Fig. 22).
This dialog allows for drawing the effects behaviour. This method is not really
accurate, but does the job in many cases.
Detailed information on effects and how to use them is given in the main manual.
Method 2 – Live Recording (recommended):
Live recording, like it is done with a MIDI-sequencer or multi-track-recorder, is the
recommended method of programming a laser show with Laserworld Showeditor.
Figures and Effects can be recorded by marking the very track-line, then press
“record” (the button with the red dot),
after that play the keys with the
appropriate figure / effects level.
Several tracks can be marked by
holding the Ctrl key while selecting the
desired tracks. Multi-Track recording is
only possible for effects, not for figures
(for obvious reasons).
