User Manual

Use the ’Clear’ button to remove values from the Programmer. When you have
certain fixtures selected and hit ’Clear’ then only the values of those fixtures are
reset. When the fixtures have no values set any more or no fixtures are selected
when you hit Clear then all values of all fixtures inside the Programmer are
cleared. In practice, clicking twice on the Clear button will completely erase
the Programmer.
The controls will indicate in red when a certain attribute is set in this playback.
5.4.7 FX
Your playback consists of cues and cues are static lighting ’looks’. To animate
your lighting you usually create multiple cues and have the playback chase
between them. However, you can use FX to quickly create a dynamic animation
in your lighting. For example a smooth circular movement on your moving head
or scan would require you to program many steps. With FX you simply used the
FX dialog (see figure 5.9) to select the ’Circle’ effect for your position attribute,
set a few parameter levels and it’s done.
Figure 5.9: FX dialog
There are also FX for RGB colour mixing e.g. a rainbow effect. FX also exists
for the intensity attribute. You can use intensity effects for quickly creating
some chases by using the ’Phase’ parameter.
