Laserworld Showeditor 2015
Version 2015/1.0 2015 Page 35
Two recording modes for figures are possible: To only record figure start points but
then let run until the next figure starts or the Space-bar is pressed, use the standard
settings. If the figure should only be recorded as long as the appropriate key is
pressed, change Use key-up event => figure off in the Settings.
The position on the timeline for the start of the recording can be set by a click at the
very position in the Timeline bar (right of the “Paste” button).
If the music source file is in *.wav file format, the volume level of the music is
displayed there too.
During the programming process it is recommended to save the laser show from time
to time. This can be done at File -> Save Show. If the show hasn’t been given a name
yet, a dialog box for entering the name of the show opens up.
Hint: The software permanently writes backup files, so in case of an abnormal
program termination it is possible in many cases that the previous state of a show
can be recovered. However, this should not be relied on, so frequent saving is highly
recommended.
Make a Live Laser Show 3.7.
Laserworld Showeditor has an implemented Live Laser Show window.
When doing a live laser show, the figures assigned to keys can be triggered by
pressing the respective key on the keyboard, DMX-controller or MIDI controller
(depending on the setup). The use of a touch screen monitor is also possible.
3.7.1. Load figure set
Before a live laser show can be run, either an existing show must be loaded to the
Figure Editor already, or an existing Live Show must be loaded. As standard
Laserworld Showeditor comes with a basic set of live show patterns, however own
pattern sets can be created.
A Live Show basically consists of a set of figures which are assigned to certain keys.
Like with Timeline shows, all contents of a live show need to be stored in one folder
(figure files, key set, etc.). Live shows have the file extension *.live.
When a live show was successfully loaded, the live window looks similar to this –
showing previews of the very figures at their respective position on the keyboard
(Figure 24).
