color, or 1 color combination, etc). As long as 2 switches don’t affect the same property (DMX channel),
you can have as many switches activated as you want. For instance, if you add a gobo switch to a
movement switch, both can be activated simultaneously.
Cycles
A Compu Live CYCLE is a button that sequentially recalls cue lists of Scenes and Switches. For
instance, if you create Scene 1 and Scene 2, and you want them to alternate continuously every few
seconds, a Cycle can include these 2 scenes and define the timing in between.
You can create new Scenes, Switches, and Cycles from the “Button” menu on the top. Simple
instructions to create Scenes, Switches, and Cycles follow in upcoming sections.

Using preprogrammed buttons
Every time you create a new page for a group of lighting fixtures, depending on the type of
fixtures (moving heads, scanners, LEDs, conventionals, etc), there will be preprogrammed buttons on
the screen that will help you create lighting effects.
Movement buttons
These are generic to all moving heads and scanners. These include the CENTER switch, which
is a fixed position at 50% pan and tilt. Movement buttons include both the position and dimmer, iris,
shutter, lamp information necessary to display a white/open gobo light source.
