Buttons Go Brrr

The lighting control surface provides an intuitive, multitouch interface for controlling the lights you've selected in the Light Browser Bonanza. The surface is divided into scrollable sections that contain the following:

Color Sliders (a.k.a. "Make It Pretty")

Use the color sliders to change the color of the selected lights. If you have a time set in the Transition slider, your changes will take effect over that duration once you are done adjusting all sliders. If the transition slider is set to zero, adjustments happen RIGHT NOW, no waiting around like some kinda chump.

The color slider is expressed by default in RGB (that's red, green & blue channels for the uninitiated). You can change the color model using the Color Model button because apparently one way to describe colors wasn't enough.

Master Dimmer (The "Dial It Back" Button)

The master dimmer reduces the total brightness of whatever color is configured in the color sliders. It's like a volume knob, but for light. You're welcome.

Transition Slider (The "Don't Jank Out Your Lights" Slider)

The transition slider lets you choose how fast color or brightness changes should be applied. The default value is a half a second which provides a satisfying fade between color states after changes are made—basically, the lights won't look like they're having a seizure. You can set this between 0.0 seconds & 10.0 seconds.

Setting the transition slider to 0.0 seconds results in changes made to sliders being immediately reflected in real-time. Your lights will snap like you just slapped 'em.

Traits Sliders (The "Fancy Light Stuff" Section)

The traits sliders allow you to control way more than just color on DMX lighting fixtures that actually know what they're doing. For instance, "HEX" lights include not just RGB control, but also Amber, White & UV controls for creating more natural-looking light on a color temperature scale. Basically, science meets showbiz.

When you select a DMX fixture or group that contains fixtures, the traits supported by those fixtures are enabled. This coalesces traits with the same name together so you can adjust them simultaneously on disparate fixtures. Fancy, right?
