SmartFade ML v3.0.1 User Manual

N o t e :

The shape effects are tailor designed with some common lighting situations in mind. Feel

free to experiment in any other way. Remember that a moving head with tilt at 50% will

never do a circle or square, it will appear as a figure-8 - it needs to be pointing forward or

backward. Here is some information about them.

1. Circle - A circular fading movement

2. Square - A square fading movement

3. Infinity - A never ending journey in smooth moves

4. Lissajou - A pendular movement

5. Clover - The path outlining a four leaf clover

6. Flower - The path outlining a flower

7. Triangle- A triangular fading movement

8. Harmonics - A fast flower movement

9. Noise - An irregular and erratic movement pattern

10. Pentacle - The path outlining a pentacle

11. Skating - The movements of a skater seen from top

Offset Relations In Shape and Color Effects

’s possible to offset each device that is affected by a Shape or Color effect, so that they do

not appear to move the same way all the time, instead breaking into smaller groups. This

information is stored individually in each Memory or Stack state.

N o t e :

To make sure you can use the same effect with different relations, the relation is stored

in the memory or Stack state only - it is not part of the effect itself.
