Pixel map: fixtures & layout
The pixel map shows every fixture with several individually controllable cells the way it really looks and hangs: tube, stick, bar, matrix, ring, sun, spider or bee eye. Effects then run the right way round and, if you like, across all fixtures.
Where do I find it?
Effect lanes → “+ Effect” on a pixel group → “Fixtures & layout” at the top right.
Movers with their own pixels, pars with several cells and similar fixtures also appear as a group of their own, “… · Pixel”, in the group list.

- 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
