ShowRider Live
The ShowRider Live window was designed for real-time (live) show performance. The ShowRider Live window has two main parts - image grid and control panel. Image grid allows you to store up to 2048 items. The cell of grid may contains various objects like images, effects and color. Cells of the grid can be activated by means of keyboard shortcuts and MIDI keyboard. ShowRider Live provides page-based channel selection. Not all MIDI keyboards allows to split the keyboard on parts where part will use different channel. For this reason, a special mode allows channel information to be ignored and only the note number is used. This mode allows to use 16 pages where each has 128 notes (cells). Live tracksShowRider Live allows for multi-track performances. Up to four tracks are supported. Each track can execute image, effect and color oscillator effects. Also track has crossfade settings that defines how exactly one image will change to the next one. Of course all this features are optional and you are free to disable it any time you want. Control panelControl panel contains few groups of various controls. Monitor panel contains an area that shows what are currently loaded in to live tracks - images, effects, colors. Rotation panel allows you to apply a rotation to a live tracks. Both static and dynamic rotations are possible around X,Y and Z axis. Position panel allows you to control output position. Position panel has resolution control that allows to change a motion sensitivity in a real-time. Color panel allows you to change color of image in a real-time. By means of scrollbars may be change color-morph value that may be used for smooth color changing. Scrollbars of Control panel allows to change size, brightness, scanrate, playback speed and color morph. MIDI ControlAny slider of control panel may be controlled by mean of MIDI Control Change or Pitch Band messages. Also MIDI controllers can be assigned to a "internal channels". Channels is the system that allows to control abstraction and effect parameters in real-time. LAStudio software has 255 internal channels where each channel work like multiplier for object parameters. As example you may change amplitude of abstraction oscillator, periods number or effect parameters.
