PULSE MX
Pivot buttons
Enables to select the pivot element of the group, that is to say the element which remains xed in
position and around which the others move. It is possible to select the rst xture (left), the last
xture (right) or the central xture (Center); if the number of xtures is even, the xed value will be
the intermediate value between the two central xtures.
Offset wheel
Moves all values in parallel in the same direction, increasing or reducing them in equal measure.
Amplitude wheel
Increases or decreases the amplitude of distribution; negative values are also acceptable.
1.7 EFFECTS
An eect is the predened trend of a value which is repeated in cycle in time and which can be applied
to any parameter of one or more xtures; speed and amplitude can be edited by the operator.
A typical eect is the Circle which, when applied to the pan and tilt of the xture, force them to follow
circular trajectories on the stage. Dierent xtures can share the same eect in order to move in a
coordinated fashion.
To apply an eect to an attribute of the previously selected xtures, do as follows:
• select the attribute interested by the eect by choosing its family; to do so, press one of the buttons
on the right and then press one of the attribute buttons placed horizontally on the wheels
• select the minimum and maximum values of the wave-form by clicking on the palette buttons or
operating on the rst two wheels
• with the linear and square buttons, it is possible to select the wave-form (respectively sinusoid and
square wave)
• The third wheel (Period) enables to vary the speed of the eect.
When two or more xtures are involved, it is possible to obtain “Mexican wave” type eects by operating
on the fourth wheel (Spread) and on the phase eect selection buttons
