Operation; Setting The Trig Mode; Adjusting The Effects - Martin Ego 01 User Manual

O
PERATION
To achieve optimal results the use of smoke effects together with your Ego
is recommended.
The lamp turns on as soon as power is applied. The effect wheel/s and
mirror dish begin to rotate. The action is varied whenever trigger signals
are generated as a result of sounds picked up by the built-in microphone
(manual trig) or randomly (when the fixture is in auto trig mode).
S E T T I N G T H E T R I G M O D E
The Idle Speed dial on the control panel is used to set the trigger mode;
when the Idle Speed dial is set:
• In the Auto Trig zone trigger signals are generated randomly in Auto Trig
mode. This will result in unsynchronized operation that is not in time with
music.
• Out of the Auto Trig zone, the fixture is in Manual Trig mode and the built-
in microphone will generate trigger signals as a result of sounds that it
picks up. This will result in synchronous operation in time with any music
that is being played. When trigger signals are not being received, the
effect wheel will idle at a speed that is relative to how far clockwise the Idle
Speed dial is set.

Dynamic
The Dynamic dial on the control panel is used to set the aggressiveness of
the effect, regardless of which trig mode is set. When the dial is wound
fully anti-clockwise the fixture will react relatively passively, and the level
of aggressiveness will increase the further clockwise that the dial is
wound.
