3 Patch Zones The Attitude Solo supports 6 unique Zones. Each zone can be used to control a separate group of lights. For example, you might have all lights on the inside of a building in Zone 1, and all of the lights on the outside of the building in Zone 2. - Page 8 User Manual Attitude Solo (2nd Generation) When in automatic addressing mode, the Attitude Solo will list what the start address of the first fixture should be inside each Zone menu. In manual addressing mode, the Solo will give an option to select the start address of the zone as well as list the last address used by the previous zone.

Show Types The real power of the Attitude Solo show engine is in the variety of patterns that can be created simply by selecting a show type and configuring options. - Page 11 User Manual Attitude Solo (2nd Generation) All Fade The All Fade (FADE) show type fades all lights simultaneously across the selected colors. All connected lights in the zone will illuminate the same color. Lights will smoothly fade between each active color selected, sequentially from Color 1 to Color 4 and then repeat.

End - runs from ends to middle Although this manual attempts to adequately describe the functions of each show type and option, to best understand how the Attitude Solo show engine works, we suggest connecting a Solo to some fixtures and playing with it. Try changing each show type and option and see how the fixtures react. -
Page 13: Events
Zones can also be set to OFF. Setting the Clock The Attitude Solo includes a built-in 24 hour clock, which is how events are processed. To set the current time on the clock to match the local timezone, from the Main Menu, go to the Settings menu, then set the Hour and Minute to match the current time. -
Page 14: Event Processing
Every 30 seconds or so, the Attitude Solo checks the time, and if the current time matches the saved time for any event, it updates each zone based on what show the event says that zone should play. -
Page 15: Trigger
Previous models of the Attitude Solo have operated in a different manner, where the trigger is only active while connected and that all zones showed a single color with the trigger. -
