Wheel Control - PRG bad boy User Manual

Wheel Control

Every wheel, gobo or color, as well as the gobos within a wheel, follow the exact same method of
control. Select the mode with the associated control channel: continuous [index], discrete [step], spin,
random slow, medium, and fast, with strobe range at the end.
The preceding 16-bit channel sets either your choice (a gobo or color in continuous, discrete, or strobe
modes, indexed position for gobos), or your rate (spin/gobo rotation). The strobe speed range at the
end sets how fast your selection on the preceding 16-bit channel strobes to open. Gobo wheels, color
wheels, and gobos all follow this same logic, and the same control channel ranges.
