How Effect lanes are laid out

Step by step

1. Header: “Back”, the show's name, “● unsaved” when there are unsaved changes, “3D visualizer ↗” (opens the visualizer in its own window) and “Save”.
2. Preview at the top left: it starts in 3D. Switch with “3D” and “2D”, your choice is remembered. Below it:
   • ▶ to play, and the position as bar.beat,
   • for Autoloops “Speed” (60–180 BPM, preview only) and “Length” (8 to 128 bars),
   • on the right the “Color palette”: six color swatches. Click one to open the color picker.
3. Song shows get an extra strip with artist and title (see Basic structure from the song analysis).
4. On the right, “Groups”: at the top “Master · whole show”, below it every fixture group with its number of fixtures and clips. The small tiles show each fixture's color live. “+ Effect” opens the effect studio for that group.
5. Below that, three tabs:
   • “Generator”: create effects for the selected group in a few clicks.
   • “Effects”: the effect library, the number shows how many effects fit.
   • “Properties”: settings of the selected clip or of the whole show.
6. Timeline at the bottom: tools at the top (“Grid”, “Zoom”, ↶ undo, ↷ redo, “+ Fixture group …”), below them the master lane and the layers of each group.
