Effects Trainer

Having a hard time learning effects on Eos? I've made a Capture Presenter file that lets you visualize different kinds of effects in a new way: spatially, instead of with light.

Effects Trainer — a 10×10 grid of cubes shaped by an effect on Eos

How it works

The file is dead simple: there are 100 cubes. You control their heights by controlling sACN addresses 1/1 through 1/100.

Use it to visualize different effect shapes, groupings, trails, and more.

Want to take it a step further? Patch 100 generic RGB LEDs and you can control the color of the cubes too. Helpful for getting your head around color effects.

With color

Patch 100 generic RGB LEDs alongside the heights and the cubes take color. Run a chase, a gradient, a rainbow effect, anything that benefits from seeing the spatial pattern in addition to the timing.
