Assigning clips to laser zones

PreviousStarting / stopping clipsNextWhat are the small icons on the clip buttons?

Last updated 20 days ago

Underneath the clips, you can see a row of zone buttons (both on-screen and reflected on the APC40), marked BEAM 1 to BEAM 8 by default. Use these buttons to toggle zones for the currently selected clip.

Scrolling through the zones

If there are more than 8 zones you can scroll left and right using :

  • SHIFT plus the <- and -> cursor keys

  • The DEV ON/OFF and DEV LOCK buttons on the APC40

Flip X and Y

Underneath each zone button you can see buttons marked X and Y. These flip the output to each zone horizontally and vertically, respectively.

You don't need to make a new zone to have different mirror settings. The X and Y flip settings apply to this clip only, they're not a setting of the zone.

The zone buttons at the top, and the Flip X / Flip Y buttons at the bottom.
