Complex Customizable Effects

Choose from a wide range of preinstalled, highly customizable effects. Have all lights reacting simultaneously without delay or stretch effects over multiple lights. Your lights will remember and repeat these effects without requiring a constant wireless link.  

Basic effects like fade between colors, running pixels, fire effect, chase effects, rainbow etc. can be created and customized. Multiple lights can be addressed as 1 big virtual fixture to stretch effects along several lights.

Police car, paparazzi, fireworks etc are preprogrammed and can be customized by changing speed, colors and several other parameters.

Full control over your pixels which was previously only possible with DMX consoles. Create complex lighting effects that stretch over numerous lights and offer nearly unlimited possibilities.

Several of the programs can react to music. The ART7’s built-in microphone analyzes and matches the beat; flash buttons can trigger special effects while being held down.

Save the programs which you have created to quickly trigger them later. Back-up your programs and settings and move programs, settings and control to another device if needed.
