This rule only applies to the Intensity parameter. For example, if intensity is at 50%, intensity will rock between 50%
and 200%.

+

If intensity is at 10%, Intensity will rock between 10% and 40%.

+

If Intensity is at 1%, Intensity will rock between 1% and 4%.

+

If Intensity is Marked, Intensity will remain at 0.

+

If Intensity is Out, ALL dynamics for all parameters will STOP.

Fanning Dynamic Offset

The true power of dynamics is achieved by fanning the dynamic "offset."

To fan dynamic offset:

Step

1. Select 20 channels.

Step

2. Stop any previously running dynamic by hitting the "Stop Dynamic" button or select Dynamic Palette #10

"Stop All Dynamic."

Step

3. Open Function Filter by pressing "filter" in central touchscreen. Select only

Tilt

.

Step

4. Turn fan off. (You can fan dynamic rate and size as well as offset, but typically you only want to fan offset.)

Step

5. Start dynamic and set rate and size. (Refer to

"Using the Encoders with Dynamics"

on page 179.)

Step

6. Turn fan on. Fan by holding down the [Fan] button or double-clicking the [Fan] button to latch it on. Notice

that the labels for offset change to [fan +120] when fan is on.

Step

7. Press [+120] button (i.e. the lower button) to bring up offset options:

a.

+30 Degrees, -30 Degrees, +120 Degrees, +180 Degrees, +360 / +1 Cycle, -360 / -1 Cycle. Selecting
one of these options will fan that particular offset evenly across all of the selected channels.

b.

You will now see the luminaire doing a complete single wave. Increasing the offset will start creating
multiple waves. For example, increasing the offset to 720 degrees will make two waves.

c.

Once one of these options has been selected, the lower OFFSET button will display the selected option
parameter instead of the default (+360). For example, if +120 Degrees is selected, the OFFSET buttons
will now read "min" and "+120".

Step

8. Turn fan off.

Step

9. Try repeating the above steps for other parameters such as Intensity or Pan. Typically, you only select one

parameter at a time when editing a dynamic (for example, Intensity, Pan, Tilt). An exception would be color
mixers (refer to

"Point-To-Point Dynamics"

on page 185).

Step 10. When a desired "stage look" is achieved, store this as a Preset. Since the dynamic palette does not store

fan information, its usefulness is limited (refer to

"Methods For Storing Dynamics"

on page 174.)

Note: Complex dynamics can also be stored as macros. For this example, do this by pressing [Store] [Macro] [Enter]
at the command-line keypad before Step 2, and then after Step 8, press [Store] [Macro] [n] [Enter] - where n is the
number of the macro palette where you wish to store the recorded sequence.
