Did you know? #8 - Superimpose Effects

Did you know that in DMXControl 3 different effects can be superimposed? Read more about it in this "Did you know?"

Many things are structured differently in DMXControl 3 than in DMXControl 2, including the effects engine. We would like to illuminate this very powerful effects engine a little more in today's "Did you known?" Or did you know you could overlay effects, too? But let's start with what an effect is at all. Unlike DMXControl 2, effects in DMXControl 3 are mathematically describable functions such as a sine, a sawtooth or functions such as a chaser. These effects can be applied to almost all device properties. Now, for example, a chaser can be placed on the dimmer of a group of devices and the light beam moves from lamp to lamp. But the best thing is: We can overlay this chaser with further effects. The output is a combination of both effects. As an example we superimpose the already existing chaser with another one, which we run backwards. This ensures that we get a Knight Rider-like chaser effect. However, other effect overlays are also possible. So there are many possibilities of the created effects. Amazing light effects can be generated with simple means. Just give it a try!
