FX wheel control
The FX wheel uses two DMX channels:
• On the first channel, you set the FX wheel position or select a movement option.
• On the second channel, you adjust movement speed if you have selected one of the movement options.
Limiting movement range
You can set limits for the range of FX wheel movement in the control menu PERSONALITY
→ GOBO 3 FX
RANGE. This feature allows you to limit movement to the animation range, for example, if you will not be
using the gobos on the FX wheel.
FX wheel movement options
The following types of movement are available on the FX wheel position/movement channel.
Smooth
Continuous speed across the whole range with deceleration/acceleration at end points.
Organic
Continuous speed across the whole range with deceleration/acceleration at end points.
Each fixture uses a random position and direction. In an array of fixtures, changes in direction are not visible
because they are hidden in the overall animation pattern.
Metronome
The FX wheel is positioned at the center of its range. The wheel bounces back and forth at identical angles.
There is some acceleration when leaving the end point.
The speed channel increases/decreases angle and speed at the same time.
Play forwards / fast rewind
The FX wheel moves forwards through its range at the speed set on the speed channel, stops, then moves
backwards through its range at a fixed speed (this is slightly slower than maximum speed, so the wheel
scrolls back through the range).
Play backwards / fast rewind
The FX wheel moves backwards through its range at the speed set on the speed channel, stops, then
moves forwards through its range at fixed speed (this is slightly slower than maximum speed, so the wheel
scrolls back through the range)
Random bounce
The FX wheel is positioned at the center of its range. The wheel bounces at set speed to random position
from center, bounces alternate left and right of center.
Interference
The FX wheel is positioned at the center of its range. The wheel bounces with set time to random position
from center, bounces alternate left and right of center.
Adjusting speed increases time and distance of left/right positions.
Random animation position
Moves the FX wheel to random positions within the animation range. Time to next position is determined by
speed setting.
Random gobo position
Moves the FX wheel to random positions within the gobo range. Time to next position is determined by
speed setting.
Random effects wheel position
Moves the FX wheel to random positions within the animation and gobo ranges. Time to next position is
determined by speed setting.
