Advanced Parameters

If you dare, Maestro Patterns can be further modified by expanding (click on the opposing arrows to the right of the Live Control parameters) the Advanced Parameters in Live Control. These parameters provide fine-grained control over the lighting output of the autonomous Maestro patterns. For instance, if you increase the ‘Intensity’ parameter but notice that some of the effects are running moving too fast you could lower the ‘Speed’ under Advanced Parameters to balance out the pattern. 

The Advanced Parameters are the same set of parameters as the Core Pattern Parameters, except for ‘Variance’, which is taken care of by ‘Background’. Please refer to the Core Pattern Parameter section for an explanation.

Core Pattern Parameters

Core Patterns are simpler lighting effects that can run with or without an audio input. These are great for building static or low-dynamic looks for your event.

A Core Pattern provides control via any number of the following parameters depending on its implementation:

Speed (default = 50%)

The speed of the lighting pattern.

Energy (default = 50%)

Depending on the pattern, Energy modifies the brightness and color if a gradient is being used.

Variance (default = 50%)

Similar to Background but inverted. (ie, 0% Variance is all lights on)

Attack (default = 50%)

The time for the effects to onset.

Decay (default = 50%)

The time for the effects to fade out.

Audio reactivity (default = ON)

The Audio Reactivity Toggles provide users with the ability to control how Core Patterns respond to audio input. When Audio Reactivity is turned off, the Core Pattern will function independently of any incoming audio. Conversely, with Audio Reactivity enabled, Core Patterns will synchronize and modulate in response to the audio input.

NOTE: Core Patterns do not require audio input to function, however, Maestro Patterns do.
