7.8 CHASER EFFECTS IN DEEP
To display chaser effects it is recommended to setup a Flow-Set with a multiple of four
positions. This is the way they will be shown best. Those four positions could then be arranged
in the corners of a dance floor for example.
Use the tap-sync button to tap the beat of the music; the Chaser Effects will base their color
changing on that beat then.
The Chaser Effects offer additional controls
The Emphasis adjusts the way the colors are exchanged by the chaser:
Emphasis
Effect
-2
The four colors of the palette are exchanged one by one. Every beat changes
only one color.
-1
Same as “-2”, but the color change is animated with the color-wheel effect; it
mimics the color change of a traditional color wheel, showing intermediate
colors during the change.
0
All four colors are exchanged on every beat.
1
Same as “0”, but the color wheel effect is added.
2
Same as “0”, but on the fourth beat, all colors go black. They come on again
on the next beat.
3
Same as “0”, but all colors go black on every second beat. This setting
produces a strong on-off effect in sync with the beat.
The softness influences the fading between colors that happens on every beat. 0% will
generate a hard change of the colors, while 100% makes them fade very slowly.
A random button is added to the color bar. If it is latched, random colors are chosen on
every beat. If not (like in the above picture), then the colors are always chosen randomly
from the color pallet of four. This is useful to intentionally narrow down the color choice. Nice
effect can be generated by setting some of them to black.
