By pressing the ESC again you can return to the menu from the unit selection.
MENU 1: SHAPE EDITION
With the shape generator, located in the controller, you can have 64 different shapes drawn by the mirrors or
the head of the units, giving quite a number of parameters. These shapes can be assigned to program steps
or preset scenes.
Here in the shape selection you can select from 64 shapes with buttons 1-32 and the PAGE shifting button.
In the upper line of the display the state of the selected shape appears next to its number. If it is “free”, it
means that this shape is not written, if it is ‘OK’, it has been written. In case of shape selection the contingent
written shape movements is shown immediately on the connected units.
Preparation of a new shape or modification of an existing one:
Select a shape, then press ENTER.
Give a name to the shape, then press ENTER.
Now set the units you would like to have a shape drawn by. The current setup is shown in the lower line. If
there is no character, then no unit has been installed for serial number. The horizontal line means that unit
will not draw any shape; it is masked. The units can be masked in and out with buttons 1-32. The masked
units are open and the others are closed, so it is very easy to identify the masked units on stage. After
pressing the button for two seconds the unit name appears, then a star is shown at the place of the masked
units. After masking press ENTER.
Now the masked units can be selected on buttons 1-32 and shapes can be assigned to them with the
GROUP1-GROUP4 buttons. You can have a total of 8 different shapes drawn: round, octet, triangle,
rectangle, straight line, ex, zigzag and sine.
Adjustable parameters of the shapes:
- Center: the center of shape drawing of the selected units can be set with the jog discs.
- Width: width of the shape can be set with potentiometer 17 (0-255)
- Height: height of the shape can be set with potentiometer 18 (0-255)
- Speed: angular speed of the shape can be set with potentiometer 19 (0-255)
- Direction: drawing direction of the shape can be affected with potentiometer 20 . (Forward - Backward)
- Rotating: the shape can be rotated with potentiometer 22, in this way, for example, a laid octet can be
drawn.
