8. SHAPE
Shape-Generator(SHAPE) is greatly convenient in controling track & effect of fixtures, such as
Circle, Rainbow, Wave etc. SHAPE can also combine different shapes of multiple fixtures to show
various dynamic effects which can’t be easily achieved by Multi-Step Program. Take the SHAPE of
circle for example, the operation of making circle is already finished by the console, just leave the
parameters such as speed, size and direction to be set, which is more effective.
In the console there are many Shape-Generators, each one can be set for different effects such as
Circle, Rainbow or Wave etc., and the parameters such as size, speed, direction and spread value etc.
Shapes can run together but up to 4 shapes can be superposed to 1 fixture at the same time.
