Editing one group or single fixtures
With many lanes the timeline fills up quickly. Group focus shows just one fixture group. With “Single fixtures” every fixture in the group gets its own timeline.
Step by step
- Pick a group in one of these ways:
- tap its card under “Groups” on the right,
- click the group's header in the timeline (“open ›”),
- click a fixture in the 3D preview.
- The timeline now shows only this group. The “Generator” tab shows the tools for it.
The timeline now shows only this group. - Tap “▸ Single fixtures”. Every fixture gets its own row with the hint “This fixture only – drag an effect here”.
Each fixture gets its own row. - Drag an effect from “Effects” into a fixture's row. It applies to that fixture only.
- Back to all groups: tap “All groups” above the timeline, “all” on the right, or tap the group card again.

- 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
