6. Shape Eects
An eect generator is available for you to quickly create exciting light shows with minimum programming.
6.1 Eects Generator
An eect is a series of sequenced repeated movement programs. The eects represented are circle, square, spiral, etc.
These are non-repeated, random eects. For example, light beams can move in a circular motion on stage. When you run
an eect, the xtures can work according to present setup. If an eect is applied to a pan and tilt attribute of xtures, the
center of the eect will depend on the present location of the pan and tilt. By the changing pan and tilt positions, the
center position of the eect will change on stage.
The eect generator can also be applied to other attributes of xtures. You can use the eect generator to create various
colors, gobos, irises, and many other changes. Each eect can be used to produce a regular change for one attribute.
6.2 Using Eects
Below are instructions for implementing eects using the eect generator.
1. Select some xtures and light them up.
2. Press [Eect].
3. Select eects using the soft keys. The default selection type is [All Eects], but you can also nd more specic
types of eects by using the eect type drop-down list. For your convenience, any presently selected eects will
display in the Current Loaded Eects window section.
The selected eects in the Current Loaded Eects window will show the quantity of each selected xtures on the top left
corner of the soft key, and the attribute type of the eect will show on the top right corner.
Attribute types of these eects will be abbreviated as: Intensity (I), Position (P), Color (C), and Beam (B).
Base points of eects can be altered by changing their attributes. Setting the size and speed to “0” will return them to the
basic position of the eect.
Each of the built-in eects are designed to work with a specic attribute type, but will only work if the xtures themselves
have the attributes needed to accomplish the eect.
