Sequencing Basics
Sequencing in HLS works by adding effects to lighting channels at specific time intervals to coordinate the lights with a set peice of music.  HLS is different than other sequencers in that it moves beyond the idea of controlling individual channels and individual moments in time. While that can still be done, HLS is most powerful in it's use of macro-level control.

How HLS Sequencing works
*Pixels can be grouped into Pixel Planes where complex effects can be as simple as drag and drop without having to think about things on a channel level.
 
*With HLS, sequencing thousands of channels becomes quite manageable.

Introduction to Sequencing in HLS


Sequencing in HLS works by adding effects to lighting channels at specific time intervals to coordinate the lights with a set peice of music. HLS is different than other sequencers in that it moves beyond the idea of controlling individual channels and individual moments in time. While that can still be done, HLS is most powerful in it's use of macro-level control.

  • RGB channels can be controlled without concern with the color levels of each underlying channel.
  • Pixels can be grouped into Pixel Planes where complex effects can be as simple as drag and drop without having to think about things on a channel level.
  • With HLS, sequencing thousands of channels becomes quite manageable.
