5.10 AUDIO BPM ON SCENES

You can synchronize the scene to a BPM (Beat Per Minute). The scene will follow the rhythm given by the
BPM calculator AUDIO ANALYSIS. Each beat will play the following step of the scene.
Click on the BPM button on the tool bar to start audio analysis. This tool will calculate automatically the
music beat of your computer. Right click on the scene button to switch the scene into a BPM mode. Play
an audio file and check the audio record channel of the windows. In the audio mixer of the windows the
microphone channel needs to be switched off. You need to minimize the audio analysis for the best per-
formance. Audio analysis allows three types of BPM: automatic, manual or memorized.
The scene can play with the following modes:
• TIME, the scenes do not use the BPM and play normally.
• BPM ON STEP, at each BPM the scene goes directly to the following step.
• BPM WITH FADE, at each BPM the scene will go to the following step but will keep the fade time be-
tween each step.
• BPM ON SCENE, the scene starts on a BPM and plays normally, at the end of the loop the scene restarts
on the following BPM. It could be interesting for fast scenes.

5.11 EDITOR / LIVE RELATIONSHIP OF THE SCENES

You can use the Editor mode and create new scenes while you keep playing the scene trigger in Live
mode. The scenes started or stopped in Editor mode will do the same in Live mode. Same, the scenes
started or stopped in Live mode will do the same in Editor mode. In consequence, you can play several
scenes, create and work on different scenes at the same time. It is possible to cancel the DMX signal of a
scene, you will be able to create and work on a different scene without disturbing your show.
5.12 MANUAL CONTROL OF THE FIXTURES
The software has several control windows. With them you can take control of your fixtures whenever you
want in Live mode. The triggered scenes will keep playing their content, but the live control will take the
priority on the scenes. You can easily cancel any of your Live actions and give back the priority to the
scenes.
You just need to select the fixtures in the group window and use the faders or the preset to take the live
control. This function is very useful if you want to correct the setting of a fixture or if you need to react
quickly in a simple way to an event of your show.
