Chase generator: chasers, color and movement chases across the whole rig

Step by step

1. Play the show to where the chase should start and open the chase generator. A recipe starts running right away.
2. At the top you set the range: “from bar …” with ◀ ▶ and the length, e.g. “4 bars”.
3. On the right under “Quick start: recipes”, tap a card, e.g. “Ping-pong”, “Wave” or “Crossfire”. Each recipe sets several layers at once. “🎲 Surprise me” rolls a matching combination.
4. Choose fixtures: in the stage plan on the left, “All” is selected first. Tap group chips to remove or add groups, or tap single fixtures.
5. Set the path: under “Path across the stage”, choose e.g. “left → right”, “center → out”, “in a circle” or “by groups”. Or drag a line through the fixtures in the plan with the mouse or your finger. The chase then runs exactly like that. The numbers on the fixtures show the order.

6. Under “What lights up together” you decide whether each fixture takes its turn on its own, left and right mirrored (“mirrored (pairs)”), a whole row or a whole fixture group.
7. Combine layers: “+ Brightness”, “+ Color” and “+ Movement” add layers. Tap a layer to adjust it below: effect card, tempo and details such as colors or mover targets.
8. Tempo: choose how long one step takes, or tap e.g. “2 bars” under “Fit one pass to”. A full pass then takes exactly two bars. The line below converts this to seconds, e.g. “1 step = 1 beat (0.5 s) · full pass = 2 bars (4 s) · at 120 BPM”.
9. Check “What happens” at the bottom: each layer is described in a sentence. Tap a sentence to select that layer for editing. Next to it, the score shows each station as a row with color and brightness over time.
10. Tap “✓ Add to timeline” or press ⌘Enter / Ctrl+Enter.
