Operation and mounting The OSO Maestro works differently than most DMX controllers. It is very user-friendly in that you don't need to create an entire program to put together an impressive light show. It's important to know which devices are most compatible with the OSO Maestro DMX controller. Generally speaking, it only works with specific Ayra lighting fixtures.

Select a movement program and enter the Fade Time and Step Time values correctly. The OSO Maestro has already been equipped with various movement programs for you to choose from. Of course, some movement programs only work with fixtures that have moving capability such as scanners or moving heads.
Page 10
To select a movement program and determine the speed, use the 3 rotary knobs under the 'X/Y move' section. Each of these controls has its own function: - X/Y Type: Use this knob to select one of the 11 different built-in movement programs. Each program consists of pre-programmed X and Y positions that are played in a continuous loop.

Gobo section Because every Ayra fixture is equipped with various types and quantities of gobos, the OSO Maestro has corresponding gobo wheels so the user can choose between the 9 available gobos. Because different devices have different gobos, the Gobo section will usually deviate so that if you select Gobo 3 using the Gobo 1 wheel, you may end up with 2 different gobos on 2 different devices.

In this user manual, we will refer to this as activated and deactivated LEDs. Working with presets The OSO Maestro has a variety of built-in effects on board that you can customise as desired, save and call up when needed. The OSO Maestro offers 9 presets that are very easy to use.
Page 13
Manual mode As well as the 9 presets, the OSO Maestro also features a Manual mode that enables you to make adjustments on the fly that are saved automatically. The Manual mode is a practical way to insert a lot of effects when toggling between presets or to accompany a particularly busy section of music, for instance.

Sound The OSO Maestro is equipped with a built-in microphone that is located on the rear of the controller. The sound sensitivity is determined digitally by the controller, as explained earlier in this manual. The optimal value depends on the audio volume in any given situation as the microphone only reacts to the bass frequency in the music.

It is possible to drive multiple machines at once by assigning them the same DMX address. All machines will do the same thing. Blackout The Blackout button is very important and is automatically activated when the controller is turned on. When pressed, the Blackout button overrides all control and brings all values back to zero.

Using the OSO Maestro as a desktop device The OSO Maestro is a compact controller that can be used as a desktop device. It fits on a desk, table, DJ booth or shelf and it has rubber feet underneath that provide plenty of grip.
