7 Shapes
A shape is simply a sequence of values which can be applied to any attribute of a fixture. A “circle”
shape, for example, applied to the pan and tilt attributes, would cause the fixture to move its beam
around in a circular pattern. You can set the centre point of the circle, the size of the circle and the
speed of the circle movement.
In addition to beam position shapes, there are a large number of other shapes available in this console.
The shapes are defined for a particular attribute such as colour, dimmer, focus and so on. Some shapes
will not work with some fixtures; focus shapes, for example, can produce nice “focus pull” effects on
fixtures which have DMX focusing, but will do nothing on fixtures which don’t have focusing.
When you use a shape with more than one fixture, you can choose to either apply the shape identically
to all the fixtures, or offset them so that the shape runs along the fixtures creating “wave” or “ballyhoo”
type effects. This is called the spread of the shape.
In the Creator 1024, 5 shapes can be run simultaneously, but, only 1 shape is editable.
