6. The Align Function
The Align function allows you to copy an attribute from one fixture to others. This can be useful if you want
to set a row of scans to have the same tilt position, or if you want to copy a color from one fixture onto
other fixtures.
01) Press an attribute button of the attribute that you want to align.
02) Select the fixture which is to be used as the reference.
03) Select the other fixtures you want to align to the first one.
04) Press <M.L. MENU>, then, press <C> [Align Attribute].
05) The attributes will be copied to all the selected fixtures.
You can align all attributes of the fixtures using <B> [Align Fixtures] (it does not matter which attribute
is selected).
If you use a group to select the fixtures, the one you selected first when you recorded the group will
be the reference fixture.
7. Flip Fixtures
The Flip function is mainly used for moving heads. This type of fixture has two kinds of movement: pan/tilt.
This function alternates between those two movements. While using this function, you do not have to stop
pan movement all the time.
01) Select the desired fixtures.
02) Press <M.L. MENU>.
03) Press <D> to flip the fixtures.
8. Fan Mode
Fan mode automatically spreads out the values on a selected range of fixtures. If used on pan and tilt,
the result is spreading out "rays" of light beams. The first and last fixtures of the range are affected most,
and the central fixtures are affected least. The amount of fan can be set by turning the wheels.
As with shapes, the order in which you select the fixtures sets how the fan effect works. The fixtures you
select first and last will be the ones which change most. If you use a group to select the fixtures, the order
is the one in which the fixtures in the group were selected when it was created.
The fan effect, while normally used on pan or tilt attributes, can be applied to any attribute.
01) Select the fixtures which you want to fan.
02) Select the attributes to fan (Pan/Tilt, Color, etc).
03) Press <Fan> and set the reference point for the fan effect. You can select 3 modes:
<A> Middle.
<B> First
<C> Symmetric
04) The controllable attributes will be displayed in the bottom two lines in the screen.
05) The display shows which attribute is being controlled by each wheel.
06) Turn off Fan by pressing the <Fan> button again, when you have finished.
Fan mode needs to be used on at least 4 fixtures to give good effects. If you have an odd number of
fixtures, the central fixture will not move in fan mode.
Press the <Fan> button again to leave Fan mode. Any effects which you have set will remain in the
programmer.
<A> Middle: In this mode, the fixtures on the edges will move fully, while the fixture close to the
middle will move partially. If the total number of fixtures is odd, then the fixture located on the right
middle will nove move at all.
<B> First/Last: If set to First, the first fixture will remain static and the remaining fixtures will move in the
way that every fixture will move more than its predecessor. If set to Last, the last fixture will remain
static and the remaining fixtures will move in the way that every fixture will move less than its
predecessor.
<C> Symmetric: The fixtures will be divided into 2 groups. Both groups will run in Middle mode (see
above).
