4.3.Creating Scenes

When channels are set in the Editor, the values are stored in scenes. A Scene can hold a static ‘look’ (for example: all ﬁxtures

positioned in the centre of the room in red), or dynamic (for example: ﬁxtures changing color with a rainbow eﬀect). Scenes are

arranged into Groups. By default, 1 scene can play at a time in each Group. Groups are designed to be stacked, for example

there may be a group for color eﬀects, a group for movement eﬀects and a group for strobe eﬀects etc.

Scenes are organised in a grid view with the groups arranged into columns. Click the large ‘+’ to add a scene to a group. Click

the small ‘+’ in the top left to create a new Group.

Steps

A scene has 1 or more steps. Each step stores a static ‘Look’. A dynamic eﬀect can be achieved by adding several steps with

fade and hold times. To create a new step, click the ‘+’ button (1). As the Faders and Palettes are changed, the data is stored

immediately into the selected step. Fade and hold times can be changed by double clicking on a step. The example below shows

a scene with 4 steps each with a fade time of 2 seconds and a hold time of 1 second. In this case, the values will hold, or ‘freeze’

for 1 second, and then gradually move to the next values over 2 seconds. When the ﬁnal step is reached, the scene scene will

loop back around to the ﬁrst step. To preview a scene, click the ‘Play’ button (2).

Multiple steps can be edited at once. To do this, select a step, hold Ctl (PC) or Cmd (Mac) and select the steps you wish to

modify. A range of steps can also be changed by selecting the ﬁrst step of the range, holding shift and then selecting the ﬁnal

step. To modify the fade and hold times of a selection of steps, continue to hold Shift, Ctl or Cmd whilst double clicking the step,

or click the ‘Time Settings’ button (3). Steps may also be re-arranged by dragging and dropping. To remove a step, hit the

delete/backspace key or click the ‘Remove Step’ button (4).
