Percent 16
Input parameters Strobe

FX Adjust Delays Aura strobe trigger
Action is synchronized, with shift from just after Beam trigger to just before

Beam trigger

Details

• Strobe Aura is synchronized with the Beam strobe cycle.

• FX Adjust shifts the strobe trigger time for the Aura channel. The time base for this shift is

determined by the cycle from the strobe channel. FX Adjust always shifts the trigger point
relatively within the cycle, so trigger time is not an absolute time.

• All internal strobe FX are used. For example, on Random Strobe the Aura will trigger with the
delay determined by the FX Adjust channel, or a ramp effect will start with a delay on the Aura
section but follow exactly the same curve etc. as the Beam.
