8. USING FX
LightShark includes an internal effect generator. The FXs may be directly applied to a
fixture or group of fixtures, it is not necessary to create several Cues to create an effect.
The FXs can be modified live, adjusting the speed and size of the FX to the rate of the
show.
LightShark includes a wide internal FX library (circles, squares, pan, tilt, zigzag,...).
Beam, Colour and Intensity effects are also included.
The use of FX allows to record whole shows in only a few minutes.
It is possible to add an effect to one or several fixtures, or even to a group or several
groups of fixtures. To add a FX the user must select one or several fixtures, and from
the FX window, select one of the effects included in LightShark.
Once a FX is selected it is possible to modify its parameters (speed, size, spread...)
using the virtual sliders available on the screen (or through the encoders in the LS-1).
It is possible to add several effects to a fixture (or group of fixtures) applied to different
attributes. For example, the user may add a Pan effect and also add an Intensity effect
and a Colour-change effect.
LightShark groups the effects in 4 categories: Position, Colour, Beam and Intensity. Each
category may have up to 9 effects max.
