Once the selection is made, you must select an effect from the “Effects” window and drag it to the timeline.
It is not possible to drag an effect if there are no fixtures selected. Here is a brief description of the available
effects:
Static level: This effect enables setup of a static level for the selected fixture. Once the effect is assigned to
the timeline the following window is opened (if the effect is assigned to a color channel).
3 modes are available to set up a color:
- color picker
- preset colors (red, green, cyan...)
- manual selection of the RGB values
Note: it is possible to set the duration of the effect by clicking on the left-side icon from the toolbar.
Gradient: This effect enables creating a fade between DMX values (color, positions...). In the case of a color
gradient, it is possible to add more points. You must double click on the gradient zone to add a new step.
Then, you can select it and change the color or its position within the gradient.
Phasing: It is possible to add a delay between your fixtures using the “Phasing” option. It is very useful to
create a rainbow effect for instance.
Do not forget to use the “Play” button to preview your effect. It is possible to edit an effect by double clicking
on it from the timeline.
Curve (advanced): This tool allows you to have more control over the individual channels of your fixtures
and is extremely useful with LEDs. The first thing to do is to select the channel you want to work with (Red,
Green...) and then select a waveform from the list (Sinus, Square...).
Several options are available like Amplitude and Offset. We advise you to play with these options to see how
they work with your fixtures.
