PRIME 4 and PRIME 4 G2: Engine Lighting recreated

Step by step

1. First you see the touchscreen close up. Bottom right, “Whole console” shows the whole unit and “Screen” goes back. Double-clicking the console or the “VIEW” button does the same.
2. At the top of the screen the tabs “Override”, “Autoloops”, “Static Looks”, “Intensity” and “Position”, the gear on the right.
3. “Autoloops”: the 4 banks with their names at the top, below each bank two columns with its loops. Tap a loop to start it. The loop that’s playing shows in bold in its bank’s color. Tap a bank name to play only that bank (name turns green), tap again for all banks. More than 8 loops in a bank: scroll down the list.
4. “Static Looks”: the 32 slots from bank 1. A tap turns a look on, a new one replaces the previous one. If a look is set to “hold” in SoundSwitch, it only lights while you press the tile.
5. “Override”: “Effect Overrides” (Play/Pause, Movement, Black Out, Strobe, Hue, UV, Smoke, White), below that sliders for movement size, movement speed, strobe rate, color and smoke/haze rate, then 9 colors and your project’s positions. White and UV only work while you press them. “Smoke/Haze Rate” is greyed out: the slider only works on the real unit.
6. “Intensity”: vertical sliders for the brightness of song shows (“Scripted Track Intensity”) and Autoloops (“Autoloop Intensity”), plus groups 1 to 4.
7. “Position” (with moving heads): drag in the grid to move all heads together. Your moving heads are listed on the right, at the bottom “Current Pos:” picks a position with ‹ ›.
8. Gear: toggles for “Randomize Autoloops”, “Override Scripted Tracks” and “Repeat Autoloops Mode”. “Loop Auto Strobe” is greyed out: it only works on the real unit. “Engine Lighting Status: Connected” is always shown.
9. PRIME 4 G2 only: the pads of both decks start in lighting mode. On the real device you call it up with SHIFT + STEMS. ◀ ▶ next to the pads page through the 5 pages, each deck on its own. Each pad has 4 quarters: “HOT CUE”, “LOOP”, “ROLL” or “STEMS” switch the pads to their normal job. Then they no longer control lights. Back to lighting: first “SHIFT”, then “STEMS” on the same deck.
   • “Performance”: top Movement, Strobe, Hue and Smoke, 25 to 100 % per quarter. Bottom White and UV (hold), Black Out and Play/Pause.
   • “Color/Position”: top two colors per pad, bottom positions 1–8.
   • “Autoloop Controls”: top banks 1–4, bottom Play All, Previous/Next, Repeat and Override Scripted Tracks.
   • “Autoloop Select” and “Static Look Select”: the 32 slots, 4 per pad.
