MAtricks Wings

grandMA3 User Manual » MAtricks and Shuffle » Wings
Version 2.1

Wings in the MAtricks separate the selection into the number of wings set and select devices from each wing from opposite directions.

It is better explained with examples.

Example - Ten Fixtures One Axis

In this example, there are ten fixtures (1 through 10).

They are selected from 1 to 10 without any specific grid information. Highlight is activated.

Since there is no grid information, the fixtures are only on one axis - the X-axis.

Press Next to make the MAtricks X value 1.  


Ten fixtures with MAtricks X at 1 - No XWings

It looks like this in the Selection Grid and Fixture Sheet (Channel SheetMode and Output layer selected) window.

Ten fixtures with MAtricks X at 1 - No Wings

Now tap + in the XWings in the MAtricks window to set the value to two.


Ten fixtures with MAtricks X at 1 - XWings at 2

Now it looks like this


Ten fixtures with MAtricks X at 1 and XWings at 2

The selection is split into two wings, and each end of the selection is currently On.

Tap +  to change the X number and move the highlighted selection towards the "center" of the selection. Tap - to change the X number and move the highlighted selection from the inside out of the selection. Using Next and Prev does the same.
