5. Shape Effects

MINI 1000 offers an effect generator for users to quickly create exciting light shows with the minimum of programming.

5.1. How Effect Generator Works

Effect is a series of sequenced repeated movement preprogram. The representative effects are circle, square, spiral and etc. They are the non repeat random effects. For example, lighting beams move in a round route on the stage. When you run an effect, the fixtures will work according to present setup. If the effect is applied to pan and tilt attribute of the fixtures, the center of effect will depend on the present location of pan and tilt. By changing pan and tilt position, the whole effect will show on the stage.

Effect generator can also be applied to other attributes of fixtures. You can use the effect generator to create various colours, gobos, irises, and many other changes. Each effect can be used to produce a regular change for one attribute.

5.2. Using Effect

1. Select the fixtures and light up;

2. Press [Effect];

3. Select effects on soft-keys. When you want to select effect, you can search by their types. Default option is [All Effects]. You can get other options by press the soft-key. Those effects in selecting will disp lay in “Current Load Effects”, for your conven ient editin g later;

 The selecting effects will be listed on “Current Loaded Effects” window, which the

quantity of selecting fixtures shows on left top and the attribute type of effect shows on right top. Those different attribute types of effects include Intensity (I), Position (P), Colour (C) and Beam (B) Effects.

MINI_1000_en.pdf http://www.codelight.com

 The basic point of effect can be modulated. By changing its attribute, to set the size

or speed to ‘0’ can get the basic position of effect.

 Each effect should work with its attribute. The type of effect can not be used if the

fixtures do not have that attribute.

5.3. Effect Parameters

Each shape effect has its own parameters with default value. Users can modify the

parameters to achieve various effects.

If several effects are running, you can select each of them in “Current Load Effects” to

edit one by one.

5.3.1. Effect Size, Speed and Spread

When you had selected an effect, [Effect attribute 1] offers parameters of ‘Effect Size’ ,

‘Effect Speed’ and ‘Effect Spread’ for your setting.

 The minimum size or speed is 0. It can stop the fixtures，however the effect is still

active.

 Effect speed can be shown in ‘second’ or ‘BPM’. You may change the display by tap

the frame of ‘Effect Speed’.

 Spread can make the effects more impressive.

5.3.2. Speed Group, Block Group and Width

Press [Effect attribute 1] can switch to [Effect attribute 2], which offers ‘Speed

Group’, ‘Block Group’ and ‘Width’ for your setting.

 The ‘Speed Group’ can divide the selecting fixtures into ‘n’ groups. Each group of

fixtures runs in the same velocity. After set the ‘Speed Group’, the ‘Spread’ will be disabled.

 There is nothing change on the effect if ‘Block Group’ value is in 0 or 1. The ‘Block

Group’ can set the close several fixtures with the setting value to run in the same velocity.

 The ‘Width’ controls how much time should occupy of a full cycle. If the 'Width' is

50% then the effect only occupies the first half of the cycle.
