App will needs access to the storage in order to save shows and other stuff .

Please accept it, I promise you not stole your VISA number or compromised photos ;)

App must start with something like this.

Be attention at the IP number at the bottom screen, because if you see 0.0.0.0 it means that you are not properly connected to your Access Point or maybe your device are using the Mobile Data connection , and this is not good, because all ArtNet Packets will be sended directly to your Mobile Data Provider, and I'm sure that they don't have an ArtNet/sACN Node

... or Maybe yes (nobody know)

Normal way to access to the Menu is touching the three dots icon image at the top of the main screen...(Left to the App icon) but this is not the only way... there are some devices where you can configure the way to show the Menu... for example, my xiaomi has an option in settings to configure the buttons shortcuts, and I'm actually using the three bars button as a menú button when I touch&hold it

Items on the Menu are self explanatories.

Select your favorite Node or CLick on GLOBAL BROADCAST to use 255.255.255.255 broadcast address

Special attention at the Universes Address when you select a Node from the NOde List because Addresses will change accordingly to the settings of your node. This point is important to check because there are cases where a single Universe node sends the same Address for all 4 outputs and , if you have all 4 outputs enableds... well, you will start the armageddon ;) ,... not really, but you will send different information to the node for the same Address

Channel ZOOM : With this option the size of channels will expand when you touch them

Channels in % : By default App show you the levels on channels from 0 to 255,... with this option enabled you will have it in % from 0 to Full

Fader Size Multiplier : Multiplier Factor for the size of objects in this app [recommended from 0.8 to 1.5]... you can adjust this size as your needs with values like 1.348 or similar... try as your way

Text Size Multiplier : Same as Fader Size applied to TextSIze [recommended from 0.8 to 1.4]

NumPAD RPN Mode : Check it to use Reverse Polish Notation

Uncheck it if you prefer to use Standard notation.

RPN: 2 CH 80 (LVL)

STD: CH 2 (LVL) 80 ENTER

When DMX-IN Enabled Univ D Controls Executors: On Check, App uses values captured via Output D (when DMX IN is enabled ) to control Executors following the next map (that you can always view clicking on View Map Button) :

DMX IN Ch [EXECUTOR]

1-99 [Subs 1-99]

101-199 [PB's 1-99] trigger >50%

201-299 [Cuelist 1-99 Fader]

301-399 [Cuelist 1-99 GO] trigger >50%

401-499 [Presets 1-99] trigger > 50%

501 [Grand Master]

502 [SUBS Master]

503 [Clear] trigger > 50%

504 [Release PB's] trigger > 50%

Accuracy control on faders : With this option, fader levels on SUBS/CUELIST/GRANDMASTER never will change directly from one value to another. They will change progressly following their natural movement

Enable MIDI IN: Activate the MIDI module that you can configure next on MENU > OPTIONS. Due to compatibility reasons , this part only will works with Android 6 and above.

An OTG adapter and one USB Midi controller will be required

At this point:

• The diversity in Android's ecosystem do that not all USB midi controllers works with all devices... it depends of the final implementation that Manufacturer do with the public libraries embedded in Android 6 and above.... for example, my Behringer BCF2000 doesn't work with my Samsung Tablet, but works perfectly with my Xiaomi Phone (both with the same Android 9). If your MIDI controller works with other Android MIDI programs that you can find in Google Play, also will works with Art-Net Controller. About Behringer BCF2000 you need to work with it in U1 mode (EDIT+STORE and move first encoder until U1 , then EXIT)

Enable Initial MACROS : Activates Initial macros that you can configure in MENU > OPTIONS. Every time that you start the application, the macro will starts to play the steps of the macro sequentially.

This Macro can be from 1 to unlimited numbers of steps and will be explained later in _OPTIONS

Here you can manage your shows

Move OLD shows is just an option to import shows that you has stored in the hidden system part that was used by R09 and before. So you will only use it one time or probably never... but here it is

Shows are compatibles between all versions since r08 in both directions and all with work with each other, but you will reduce functions in the way that you trying to load shows created with a major number of version into an app with minor version number, of course. For example if you try to load a show created with R10 in R08, shapes generator will not work.

LOAD : It will Load the selected SHOW

Selected SHOW is the show that you can see in the TEXTBOX (White field)

SAVE : This will Save the selected SHOW , if it exist, it will be Overwritted , Change the name as you want in the TEXTBOX to Save a new one.

DELETE : This will delete the selected SHOW

SHARE : With this option you will share with other apps or devices the Selected SHOW.

At this point: Everytime you press Share Button, a compressed copy of your selected SHow will be created in App SHARES folder , you can then share or not the show, but the compressed copy will remain in this folder , for future actions or for your own access.

As in LOAD button, you can share your show with another versions of the App.

Compressed files created with Share has "*.SHOW.ZIP" extension and, as you suspect, is in fact a ZIP file with all the necessarily content for the show.

When you click on one compatible file [*.show.zip] App will LOAD the SHOW into the program and will SAVE it at once.

If a show with same name exist in SHOWS folder, it will be overwritten.

New / Wipe All : This option will clean all the Workspace, clear all the memories and patched fixtures. It is the best option in order to start a new Show

you can make a New / Wipe All creating a file or directory called "flag_restore_show" in App SHOWS directory

This file or directory will be auto-deleted after next App start

Search your fixture using the TEXTBOX. you can start to write the manufacturer, then the fixture or whatever you want to reduce the search.

Then Click in your fixture.

If all needed information is ok, library will be loaded to the program

SELECT THE MODE : Under de LIB button you can select the fixture mode.

OUTPUT /Address / NUMBER OF FIXTURES/ ID and COLOR : Finally you only need to define the Output (a,b,c,d), the start address of your first fixture, the number of fixtures that you want to patch, the ID number (It will be the reference for this fixture and also the order that will be showed in fixture tool) and choice a color (if you want) for this fixture/s

All this information can be then changed in Edit Patch WIndow

PATCH IT : I don't remember what this button do... is very big so something important for sure

Once fixtures has been patched you will see them on "Patched Fixtures" SelectBox sorteds by patch order

from here you can UnPATCH iT one by one

Wipe PATCH : Clean all the patch . This is not the same as FILES>WIPE ALL, because this process (also Unpatch_iT ) take care of all cues, and presets and leave the information recorded but not related to Unpatched fixtures themself. Because of this, process can take some time and will depends of number of cues and presets recorded, and of course the performance of your device.

Here is the place where you can find quick actions that could be in settings but because their frequently access is much better that they have their own space

MODE : It Can be REC or PLAY .

Basically function is to avoid accidentally delete or record during playback.

This option will be reversed at default (REC) on every restart

On PLAY mode:

REC button will be disabled on PlayBack Buttons.

REC button will be switched to FLASH on Submasters.

And finally "Action" & "Execute Action" buttons will be disabled on Cuelists.

RECORD MODE : It can be STAGE or PROGRAMMER.

With programmer (DEFAULT) only channels with values (including zero values) on the programmer will be recorder in executors

With Stage ...what you see is what you get ... all parameters will be recorded.

PLAY PB's BY : Can be Channel or Fixture.

With Channel (Default) PB's change only parameters previously recorded,

for example :

If you only have Dimmer and blue recorded in a PB for a fixture with DimRGB.

if your Fixture was at full in RED, then it will change to magenta, because PB only add Blue (also dim, but is something that previously fixture has)

with FIxture , no matter that you has only Dimmer and Blue recorded in the PB... your fixture will change to Just Blue, because App bring to zero all the other parameters that has no DIM and BLUE

CLEAR TIME : Time for clean the programmer

PRESET TIME : Is the time that presets will use to insert themselves in the programmer

Here you can establish an initial sequence that will run every time you start this program. ONLY IF "enable initial macros" is enabled in SETTINGS.

Initial Macro also will be executed on Schedule Start, but NO when you load a show from FILES or a SHOW has been loaded from a Share Intent

INITIAL MACROS will be SAVED BY SHOW

Options here are self explanatories but basically you can add a new line on the macro stack with NEW Button or delete them with DEL (Touch Del Button, and then Touch the ID number of the line that you want to delete).

In every line you can select the executor TYPE that you want to play (SUBS, PB's, CUELIST) or a special type named DO_NOTHING to do .... exactly! ...nothing , just wait x seconds.

Every line will be executed sequentially only if the previously one has been completed.

All times are in seconds.

The Command order for every executor will be following this rules:

For Cuelists :

• GO
• Fade in (Following Fade Time)
• Wait (Following Wait Time)
• Fade Out (Following Fade Time)*
• Release*

For Subs

• Fade in (Following Fade Time)
• Wait (Following Wait Time)
• Fade Out (Following Fade Time)*

For PB's

• Instant Execute
• Wait (Following Wait Time)
• Instant Release PB*

DO_NOTHING

• Wait Time

*Execute only if Keep is NOT Selected

PB's has no fade in/out because you can control fade in and release fade directly from PB itselfs.

At this point: You can TEST your INIT MACRO holding down the MENU (3 dots icon at top left) and also stop it following the same way.

If you need to execute a complete cuelist stack at the beginning you can create a macro with just one line with your desired Cuelist and mark keep button as selected . Then make the magic with AUTO GO in the cuelist itselfs

if you repeat a line with same values for example Cuelist -1 (if no release was executed in previously one [keep is marked] ) a GO will be invoked and next cue will be executed.

ONLY in MACRO, When a Release is invoked in a Cuelist [it means that Keep is NOT selected], Cuelist stack will be reset to the first CUE (normally CUE 0). This can be useful in order to repeat same cuelist stack in other steps.

Also think, that when you do a release, it will be executed with the internal cue fade out time, so if you want to repeat the same cuelist in the next macro step, you must insert between these two steps a DO_NOTHING step to leave time for the last release

This part is just a tool to quick view the main outputs of the app. Here also you can test in a quick way your channels at a predefined level.

First Select the Output port. (A,B,C,D)

Touch "+" button to start test on DMX Channel 1

Test always start at 80% in order to take care of the lamps, but can be changed easily moving the bottom fader.

Use Button "+" to increase channel

Button "-" to decrease channel

If you hold + or - buttons, the selected channel will increase o decrease automatically.

If you want to Jump to a concrete dmx channel, > Touch Ready > Write desired channel (or use + -) > finally Touch "..."

DMX Test send values directly to the Programmer and override their actual values

The visual distribution of this app is pretty basic.

A main top row with a Menu, a multipurpose ICON, the Grand Master , the Clear Button, a row of presets and the tab section with the Programmer, Keyboard, Subs, Cuelist and Playbacks

in Tablet mode, also you will see the SUBS Master fader and only two tabs sections PROG and RUN

This App works with 2 type of channels:

HTP and LTP channels

HTP (Highest Take Priority) is used by Dimmer Parameter or NON patched channels. These Channels will be processed by the main thread and the highest value will be sended to the output. Only exception is the programmer that take all the priority and no matter what value is more highest in this particular case.

LTP (Last Take Priority) is used for all fixture parameters that are not DIMMER. These Channels will be sended to the output in the way that they change their values without take care of their own levels

EXECUTORS follows the same philosophy: Last executor played is the executor that control the channel, Except if this executor is a Submaster with "LTP Instant fade" unselected (see below) or Channels involved are HTP channels which follows the HTP priority

Programmer (Prog) is the heart of the app, taking the philosophy from the major consoles of the market, it's the place where you can change or add values that later will be recorded as a cues or presets.

The values of the programmer take the highest priority over other values, even when you set values to zero .

You will notice that a value is in the programmer because level color is boldered and a little green bar appear in the app icon.

for example : In the top image channels 1,2 and 7 are in the programmer, notice that ch 2 has value zero, but is actually in the programmer so this value will be also recorded.

Touch the CLEAR Button to clear the Programmer.

Or if you need to clear just a particular channel, Touch the number of this channel and its value will be cleared.

To move around all 512 channels of the 4 universes that this app can control, you need to use the navigation bar in the first row of the programmer.

Select the Universe (second button) and then move around the pages of channels using the + or - button or selecting the desired page with the selector of the right.

You also can scroll upon channels values to move up and down from the pages

Are you thinking that this is completely crazy?... ok I agree... but you must think that this tool was make before the fixture tool (R05) and this was the best way to control RGB panels or move around PARS bars and Harting / Socapex installations. And now, if you don't want to lose time patching some Chinese-impossible-to-know-PAR-LED , but you know how many channels it has, it can be a great tool to test/rec a huge quantity of them, or maybe to test/rec RGB panels

Once Color has been changed in a channel option "Apply to all with same color" is enabled giving you the option to change easily the label or the color of this group.

Also then,if you want, you can change Multi-Select to their default configuration : "BY_COLOR"

important

If you call a preset with just a Shape FX you will see the contourn of the channel with the color of this preset, but no the channel itself, this is because Shapes are not exactly in the programmer (note that you can not clear Shapes touching on channel label, and also you don't see boldered values and the green little bar under the app icon). You only can clear a shape using CLEAR button or Touch & Hold "CLEAR Sel" in fixture tool.

More about Shape will be explained later

If you Touch & Hold the preset you will go to the Preset properties where you can change some visual aspects of it, Update, merge or clean the preset.

In honor of all the time that some of us lost drawing some artistic interpretation of our presets, I leave opened here the possibility of using Emojis ;)

APPLY is just for save the visual feel of the preset, NOT for the content itself.

UPDATE Update the content of the preset with the content of the programmer. This will override the content of the preset with the new information.

MERGE This option will merge new information to the preset, or if information already exists, it will be upgraded to the new values

CLEAN Clean all the content of the preset leaving it without content. This option doesn't clean the links to the cues based on this preset so you can re-create the preset with all the links intact

At this point.

When you call a preset to the programmer, if some channel of this preset is part of a patched fixture , this fixture will be selected and Clear button will change to Unsel.

At this moment (r10.2) is not possible to call a preset just for one fixture that is part of this preset. When you call a preset it simply goes to the programmer without more.. so, if you need to clear one or more fixtures from the programmer after a preset call, you need to select the fixtures that you don't want in the fixture tool and pres "CLEAR SEL".

Here you can Label your Submaster and also set a color (no emojis here ;)

If you need that your Sub plays LTP parameters following the fader value , UNCHECK "LTP Instant fade".

UNCHECK This option acts approx. as a MODE 2 in Avolites or TEMP_fader in Ma

WHen you raise a sub with UNCHECKED "LTP instant" to zero, LTP parameter's control will return to last Executor that had control previously

Finally if you change in OPTIONS the mode to PLAY, REC button will changes to FLASH and then you will be ready for ROCK'n'ROLL !!!
