Look programmer: Static Looks like on a lighting console
When 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.

How it works
- Select fixtures: tap a row, ⇧ for a range, ⌘/Ctrl to add single ones. A group header selects the whole group, a column header all fixtures with that channel. Clicking in the 3D preview or on a group card on the right under “Groups” selects fixtures too.
- Set values on the right under “Values” – intensity, color, strobe, position, movement, gobo & co. The column you tapped jumps straight to the matching section.
- The tools above the table work on the selection, in table order:
- Fan: spread intensity, movement speed or size from … to, or colors from … to as a gradient. Enter “Start” and “End”, then “Apply”. “the other way round (from the bottom)” starts with the lowest selected fixture.
- Alternate: every other fixture different: “Colors A / B” (with “Color A” and “Color B”), “On / off” or “Movement forward / backward” (counter-rotating).
- Mirror: the right half of the selection becomes a mirror image of the left: movement reversed, Stage Left and Stage Right swapped.
- Copy / Paste: carry values from one fixture to others. Several copied fixtures are pasted in turn.
- Thru / Off / Reset: everything to Thru, dark, or back to the group or the original from SoundSwitch.
- “Save to SoundSwitch” – or “Series …” for several color variants at once.

- 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
- 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
- Editing one group or single fixturesWith 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.Summary
