- Look programmer: Static Looks like on a lighting consoleWhen you open a Static Look in Table, you get the look programmer: every fixture is a row, every channel a column – intensity, color, strobe, position, movement, gobo, prism, focus and everything else. Thru is hatched. On the right you set everything the selected fixtures can do – across all groups.Summary
- A sequence with several looks: “What happens next?”An effect doesn't have to stay the same the whole time. In the strip “What happens next?” you create several looks, e.g. first a color chase on the dance floor, then circles on the back wall, and decide how they take turns.Summary
- Look Assistant: scenes, desk, pianoThe Look Assistant sets up your Static Looks the way you want to play on the night. It reads your SoundSwitch version from the project, asks what you play on and builds finished banks for you to try out.Summary
- Designing a Static LookA Static Look is a fixed lighting mood for a special moment, such as the first dance, a speech or the cake. In the Studio you set every fixture group – or every single fixture – with everything it can do: intensity, color, strobe, position, movement (circle, figure 8 …), gobo, rotation, prism, focus, zoom and all other channels. On top of that come fade in and fade out times for the whole look.Summary
