Moving Head Wave - Pearl Expert

Postby Jbadger88 » 22 Jul 2010, 13:37

Hello!

I'm trying to figure out how to create a 'wave' shape across moving heads! What I mean by this is that Moving Head 1(MH1) starts a basic shape then MH2 starts the same shape after a short delay then MH3 starts the shape after a delay etc etc etc and it keeps going round.

I know the Pearl Expert has a Colour wave shape generator option but I want to do the same thing with movement!

Is there a shape I can download to do this?

I'm using Mac 250 Entours (Mode 2)

It's probably really simple but I'm new to it!

Cheers!

You need to adjust the shape spread.

In the shape generator there are three softkeys that change which shape attributes you control with the wheels: [Speed/Size], [Phase/Spread], [Phase Offset] (ish!)

After creating your shape press [Phase/Spread] and increase the spread value. To achieve a flow across all your heads simply set the spread to the total number of selected fixtures. Phase is the same thing but gives finer control. The phase/spread is applied in the order you select your fixtures.
