Moves for moving heads
Once you’ve selected moving heads under “Set single fixtures”, you can give them their own movement under “Moves”, e.g. circling, a sweep or a fixed position.
Step by step
- Select one or more moving heads under “Set single fixtures”.
- Choose the time range under “When”.
- Set “Speed” to “slow”, “medium” or “fast”. The speed applies to the move you tap next.
- Tap a move:
This is what the four moves look like. - “Circle”: the heads circle around their position.
- If your positions have other names, the designer looks for matching ones, such as “Dance Floor Centre”, “Crossed Over” or “Bühne links vorne”.
- “Sweep”: between left and right.
- “Cross”: the beams cross in opposite directions.
- “Fan”: the heads fan out across the stage one after another.
- “Up & down”: up and down.
- “Crowd”: across the audience, one after another.
- “Mirror ball”: onto the mirror ball.
- “Hold still”: no movement.
- For a fixed position, choose it in the “Fixed position …” list.

- The Studio at a glanceIn the Studio you design a show for exactly one slot: pick a mood, adjust the colors and a few sliders, watch the preview and save to SoundSwitch. For most shows, that’s all you need.Summary
- Customize your layoutYou decide what the Studio shows: hide sections, collapse them, reorder them (also into the other column), drag their height and make their content larger or smaller. You can also make the preview taller and the columns wider. The Studio remembers all of it for every Autoloop, Static Look and song show.Summary
- Fill bank“Fill bank” fills empty pads with Autoloops and Static Looks that suit your event and your lights. You decide how much you want to do yourself: everything automatic, a quick look, pad by pad, or playing the show together live from scenes.Summary
- Just say it (AI)With “Just say it” you describe the light you want in one sentence, for example “first dance, romantic, rosé and gold, slow movers”. The AI then sets the mood, colors and sliders, and the designer builds the show as usual. You can also name single lights and moments, for example “uplights red, movers white, strobe in the second chorus”.Summary
- Show rules: limits, favorites and no-gosShow rules let you decide once what Droplit should use, what it should avoid and where the limit is. Everything it builds afterwards follows them: moods, song shows, the Fill assistant, the Look assistant and AI. You can lift any rule for a single case.Summary
