Understanding Nodes

Nodes are the building blocks of your lighting effects. Each node performs a specific function and can be connected to other nodes to create complex behaviors.

Types of Nodes

1. Generator Nodes: Create values and patterns

   • Sine Wave
   • Random
   • Chase
   • Color Picker

2. Modifier Nodes: Transform and modify values

   • Math Operations
   • Remap
   • Delay
   • Filter

3. Output Nodes: Send values to fixtures

   • DMX Output
   • Fixture Control
   • Master Dimmer

Creating Connections

To connect nodes:

1. Click on an output port (right side of a node)
2. Drag to an input port (left side of another node)
3. Release to create the connection

Example: Creating a Chase Effect

Here's how to create a simple chase effect:

Generator (Chase) → Color Mixer → Fixture Output

1. Add a Chase Generator node
2. Configure the speed and number of steps
3. Connect to a Color Mixer node
4. Route the output to your fixtures

Best Practices

• Keep your node graphs organized with grouping
• Use comments to document complex sections
• Save frequently to preserve your work
