Getting started questions

[seb (Seb Lee-Delisle)]

Moving to a new thread as these aren’t so much FAQ requests as much as more general getting started support

@beamia

Pretty much the only thing that I ran into was how to copy the zone for all four lasers, I had to manually drag with mouse for each 4 of them.

You can copy zones between lasers (and other laser settings - this is really useful for when you have 50 lasers set up, ask me how I know haha)

@beamia

test pattern that would scan the edges of the zone would be super awesome while modifying it.

There are several test patterns, including one that scans the entire output of the zone. Unless I’m missing something?

@beamia

The default project had 8 lasers, I only have 4 so some clips that had a chase built into them ran over the 4 lasers nice but continued running on the other 4 that I do not have and I did not find out right away how to “stretch” the time to cover the whole sequence for only 4 lasers.

See Setting up your project and Adding and removing lasers

@beamia

change the clip on every beat so how can I create 4 clips that change according to tempo/kick?

You mean a different clip for every beat? Probably the only way to do this right now is with a looping timeline. Or there are ways to design a clip so that it changes radically every beat. See the thread Autoplay clips

Thanks so much for your feedback, it’s a very useful insight. I’m glad you could get so far without reading the manual, but probably worth checking out some of those resources now to get the most out of it.
