Artist Help:Example Mirrors

This list of cues is designed to be used randomly as required in a live adlib situation such as a nightclub.

The Method

From the Fixture View activate all the fixtures and set the Preset Level. This sets all the fixtures to a useful initial state for programming usually with dimmers up, shutters open, no gobo, no colour and with the mirrors centred. From this state, it is easier to set up a look.

Cue Descriptions

Cue	Description
Yellow	yellow is selected for all fixtures in the Fixture Control/Parameters window. Use the green right and left arrows on the Fixture toolbar to select only one fixture. Set the position of this fixture using the Moving Mirror joy pad. Repeat to position all fixtures as required and create a cue.
Purple/Yellow	For this cue, from the Fixture View toolbar, activate Odd fixtures and set the purple colour and 'Gobo 1' in the Fixture Control/Parameters. Select Even Fixtures and select gobo2 and leave the colour as yellow.
Can-Can	A simple can-can effect was created by first setting green and open gobo to all fixtures. Next from the Fixture Control/Chases window the Mirror Y-axis was activated and the Pattern was set to Alternate. The master level of the chase was reduce to about 50% so that an offset could be added in the Fixture Control/Parameters window. To do this it is best to view the slider view in the Moving Mirror joy pad by click on the title button. The x axis slider should be centred and the the y axis set so that the chase is centred.
Searchers	This uses the Fixture Control/Effects window. Activate the Mirror effect and click Default to start. Then adjust the Spread, the Rate, the x-y. Set the dimmers and colour in the usual way.
Comets	This is the same as the Searchers cue but with different colours and gobo and a dimmer chase. Set colour and gobo in the usual way and zero the dimmer parameters. Go to the Fixture Control/Chases window and activate the Dimmer chase. Select Random in the Direction combo box, in the Rate Control set the rate and click on the ramp button to make the chase step as opposed to fade.
Jugglers	The mirrors are positioned on a centre spot on the floor. Zero the level on all dimmers and activate a dimmer chase. Because the Miniscan dimmer parameter is fully open at 50% and beyond that is strobing function, set the level of the chase 50%. Adjust the rate and select a gobo then save as a New Cue.
