Chapter 4. Joystick operation

If you are using the Xciter for the first time, you may need to calibrate the joystick. See joystick calibration
in the setup menu.
1. Press {Joystick} in the setup menu.
2. Move the joystick to all extremes (in a circle).
3. Press store to store the calibration.
4. Press any button to continue. Xciter returns to the setup menu.

4.1 Operation in the programmer

Xciter's self-centering joystick always works in relative mode.
When you push the joystick in a certain direction, the beam will move in that direction and the further you
push the joystick from the centre, the faster the beam will move.
Sometimes the individual fixtures of a group are positioned differently so the beams all move in different
directions when you manipulate the joystick. You can solve this in the patch with PAN-inverse, TILT-
inverse and PT-swap.
Press [PAN] and [TILT] to activate / deactivate the joystick in the programmer. You can also use these
buttons to lock the pan or tilt action of the joystick.
Use [C/F] to toggle between coarse and fine movement.
The joystick also has a built-in button. Press the joystick down to bring the fixtures back to their home
position (library defaults for PAN and TILT).

4.2 Operation in cue (run mode)

The [C/F] button becomes the BPM record button in cue (run mode). Pressing this button in a certain pace
will cause the sequences in BPM mode to follow this pace.
The [TILT] button becomes the step button in cue (run mode). Pressing this button will cause sequences in
manual mode to advance one step.
