Adding effects from the library
The effect library holds ready-made effects and building blocks. Drag them onto a lane, or tap them and they land at the playhead.
Step by step
- Tap “Effects” on the right.
- Pick a category at the top: “All”, “Building blocks”, “Brightness”, “Tubes”, “Color”, “Movement” or “Custom”. Or type a word into “Search …”.
- Each entry shows its name and colors, with base effect and group below. Hover over it to see a description.
- Drag the entry onto a lane in the timeline. It starts where you drop it.
- Or tap it. It lands at the playhead on a free layer of the matching group.
- The new clip is selected. Adjust it in “Properties”.

- Opening Effect lanes and going back to the StudioIn Effect lanes you edit a show effect by effect on a timeline. You start in the Studio with a mood and then refine single spots in Effect lanes.Summary
- 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
- How Effect lanes are laid outEffect lanes have four areas: the preview at the top left, groups and tools on the right, and the timeline below. You save in the header at the top. For songs the lanes sit right in the Song Studio at the Everything level.Summary
- Editing lanes and clipsThe timeline shows one or more layers (lanes) per fixture group. Clips sit on them: colored bars that play an effect for a certain time.Summary
- Master lane and color palette changesThe master lane affects all fixture groups at once. Use it to set a base mood, e.g. a cool verse and a warm chorus, and add accents in the groups on top.Summary
