Setting mover positions
SoundSwitch shows send moving heads and scanners to named positions such as “Stage Left” or “Crossed In Down”. Here you set with a click where your movers point in each position, and which positions shows may use at all.
Step by step
- Click “Set mover positions”. The heads now point to the selected position.
- Pick a position on the left under “Positions”.
- Click a mover, either on the left under “Movers in “…”” or directly in 3D. It now glows orange.
- Click the target in 3D: floor, wall, mirror ball or the blue grid in the air. “Target set.” appears.
Click a mover, then its target. - ⇧-click the target to point all movers there.
- Repeat this for the other movers and positions. Click “Done” when you're finished.
