Creating Effects

Creating Sets

Sets can be created using the Effects Control panel or Sets window. Once you have

created some sets, these can be used in combination with sequences to create effects.

A set consists of one or more parts. Parts are made up of specified channels

(luminaire groups) with the limitation that a channel may only appear once within the

set.

Set 0

One pre-programmed set is available, which contains all patched channels as a single

part. This is the default set assumed by all effects unless changed. It can be used to

quickly create an effect which would be assumed by all the luminaires in your system.

Interlace, Sequential, and Random

When loading channels across two or more parts, the channels may be loaded

“interlaced”, “sequentially”, or “randomly.” For example, when loading channels 1-6

across two parts using the interlace or sequential methods, they would produce the

following results:

Set 1

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

Set 2

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

Set 0

Part 1= all patched channels
