BEYOND Tutorial Video (Part 2) Using the BEYOND Universe together with PangoScript, to create custom laser effects Also included in this video, is an overview and demonstration on how to create the popular laser star" effect
In this BEYOND Tutorial, you will learn how to: 1. Create a button inside of the Universe window to control a CUE's fixed time shift 2. Create a slider in the Universe window to adjust a CUE's time shift 3. Create a fader that can control two separate objects (effect or live control) and how to switch between these objects 4. Create a fader, that will control the desired angle for each zone NOTE: All elements of control show in this video, are simply an example of what is possible. You can change effects, parameters, live control objects, etc. as you need or desire.
Creating a button in the Universe window for setting a fixed multi-zone CUE shift
These are values of the metronome shift and clock shift, for the OFF state of the button
These are values of the metronome shift and clock shift, for the ON state of the button
Try it with any CUE
Creating a slider in the Universe window for adjusting the multi-zone CUE shift
This is the value of the maximum metronome (BPM) shift
Try it with any CUE
How to create a fader for adjusting the multi-zone CUE shift
Touch the fader, that you want to use so that the software recognizes it
Script for adjusting metronome (BPM) shift
Script for adjusting clock (time) shift
Maximum value of shift
Try it with any CUE
How to make a script for switching between your fader`s functions
"ChangeFn" is a name of a variable we are using in this tutorial. You can use any name you wish. But remember you will need to use this name in the other scripts as well
Here we are running this script for the first time but next time this script will run automatically when BEYOND starts
How to make a button in the Universe window that will switch the fader's destination
If var ChangeFN=0, the fader will be controllable by the first parameter. If ChangeFN=1, the fader will be controlled by the second parameter and you can then switch between parameters, with the button
How to create a fader, with 2 switchable destinations
Touch the fader, that you want to use
This is the script for controlling the second master slider effect
This is the script for controlling the first master slider effect
Try it with any CUE
How to prepare a Zone setting, for a "star" geometry and how to create a fader, for smooth control of the desired angle for each zone
Assign the names, for the zones that you will use in each script
Set the positions for all projectors in the preview window as you would want them to be
Here you can control the positions, for all projectors
How to create a fader for adjusting the desired angle for each zone
Touch the fader, that you want to use
Now we will script the desired control angle, for each zone. Zone 3 is the the "top" in the star, without any rotation These are the values for creating the star's geometry You can also use other values, if you wish You can also control other parameters using the same method
Try it with any CUE
