Current as of Version 12K.


Transitions between PixelPlane effects by fading out one effect and fading in another, will add a clean and professional look to your musical sequence. HLS can apply fades to complex sequence components by using Submaster Lighting Channels.


Figure 6-A
  • Follow the steps in Submaster Lighting Channels to setup a new Submaster Lighting Channel and to Associate it with your PixelPlane channels.
  • Note: You will have to highlight and check all of the pixelplane object channels directly. The PixelPlane group channel will not appear in the lighting manager channel selection window.
  • Add your PixelPlane object and the lighting channel to the same Display Group.
  • Add a Ramp Up at the beginning of the effect and a Ramp Down at the end of the effect.
  • Apply a Level to the cells in between the ramps.
  • Figure 6-A shows two PixelPlane effects. There is a Ramp Up into the first effect, a Ramp Down at the end, and a Ramp Up to the next effect.
  • Ensure the lighting channel is active to turn the ramps on.
