- If you set FX Length to DMX 100, the fixture will play back all the steps in the FX
pattern and then add empty steps (black) at the end of the pattern until it reaches
step 100. It will continue this action in a loop.
FX Offset sets the starting point of the FX pattern.
•
- If you set FX Offset to DMX 000 or DMX 001, the FX pattern will start at the first pixel
with the first step in the pattern.
- If you set FX Offset to DMX 011, the fixture will run 10 empty pattern steps (black)
and then play back the pattern starting at step 1 on pixel 1 of the fixture.
Example A
Settings:
- Fixture A: FX Length = 000, FX Offset = 000, Pattern 01 running CW
- Fixture B: FX Length = 000, FX Offset = 000, Pattern 01 running CW
Result:
- Pattern 1 (single pixel chaser with 10 pattern steps) will run at the same time on
both fixtures from pixel 01 to pixel 10. Action will be identical.
Example B
Settings:
- Fixture A: FX Length = 020, FX offset = 000, Pattern 01 running CW
- Fixture B: FX Length = 020, FX offset = 011, Pattern 01 running CW
Result:
- Fixture A will run Pattern 1 (single pixel chaser with 10 pattern steps) on Pixel 01 to 10
followed by 10 invisible pattern steps.
- Fixture B will run 10 invisible pattern steps and then run Pattern 1 (single pixel chaser
with 10 pattern steps).
- The result is a clean pixel chaser running across two fixtures.
Note that FX Length and Offset only work when you set an FX to Dynamic (forwards or
backwards movement with adjustable speed). If you set an FX pattern to Static, the
fixture will simply display the pattern step that you select. Length and Offset will not
affect action.

Crossfading

Crossfading determines how each step in an FX pattern fades into the next step.
Crossfading can be a snap, a normal crossfade or a fade with tail (quick fade in and
long fade out with variable length).
