Effect libraries for light fixtures contain a set of pre-defined effects to use in your show, like "Red Flash (lg)" for a par light or perhaps a "Green Move-To (lg)" for a moving head fixture.   If a fixture supports strobing, then its effect library will likely include effects with names like "With Strobing (Fast)" or "With Strobing (Medium)".  These strobing effects don't make any light on their own; they are modifier effects.  They modify the behavior of light effects that are playing on the fixture at the same time.   Figure 1 – The yellow dotted lines overlaying the second set of effects on the timeline cause them to strobe.   To add strobing effects to your show, first add whatever light effects you want to the fixtures, and then add "With Strobing" effects to those same fixtures.  The "With Strobing" effects need to begin at the same time or before the effects that they modify, and to avoid confusion they should extend long enough cover the full extent of the effects that they modify.  The effect simulations and DMX output for an effect are determined by the strobing modifiers overlapping the beginning of the effect.  The modifiers at that time will apply for the full duration of the effect.  If a strobing modifier ends in the middle of an effect's duration, the strobing will continue to the end of the full duration anyway, both for the simulation and in the exported DMX script, as illustrated in Figure 2.   Figure 2 – If the dotted line overlaps the beginning of the solid line, then the full duration of the solid line effect will be strobing.   "With Strobing" effects typically have a default duration of 10 seconds, which is probably too short or too long.  After inserting the "With Strobing" effects, grab the the right end of their timeline bars one at a time and drag them to adjust the durations; or edit the duration field of the "With Strobing" effects in the script table.  As you can see in Figure 1, the durations of the yellow dotted lines representing the "With Strobing" effects don't need to be exact; they just need to cover the red lines representing the light effects that they modify.   Strobing effects that strobe according to their own definitions While the more common approach to strobing is with modifier effects like "With Strobing" that overlap and apply to other effects like "Red Par Light", it is also possible to create an effect that is strobing according to its own definition and therefore doesn't require an overlapping modifier effect.  An effect like "Strobing Red Par Light" if present in the effect library can be inserted onto the timeline just like a "Red Par Light" effect, and the only difference will be that it is strobing.  The VDL for strobing DMX effects and modifiers is a little complicated if you are creating your own effect libraries; a full description is here: Creating fixture definitions and effects.

The SpecialFX.it ML-CS01 Cold Sparks Machine, Standard Fixture ID 061, is a vertical sparks machine that can be controlled by any of the DMX-capable firing systems, such as Piroshow, Pyromac, PyroSure, fireTEK, Cobra, and Mongoose.   It generates spark fountains approximately 3-5 meters high, with variable height specified in the DMX signal.   Figure 1 – SpecialFX.it ML-CS01 Cold Sparks Machine   The Cold Sparks Machine has variable height levels ("gears").  The Finale 3D effects catalog contains Cold Sparks Machine effects for a range of durations and three heights (small, medium, and large).  You can create your own custom duration or height effects as described below. The Cold Sparks Machine has a two-channel DMX personality.   The first channel turns the sparks fountain on and specifies the height.  The second channel turns the "Pre-Heat" mode on.  In Finale 3D, Cold Sparks Machine "Sparks" effects will control the first channel.  The Cold Sparks Machine "Pre-Heat" effects will control the second channel.   Table 1 – DMX channels DMX Channel Meaning Effect in Finale 3D that controls channel Channel 1 (DMX Channel Base + 0) Sparks off (0-9 = OFF) or on at varying height (10-255; 255 = max) Part numbers SFXIT1100 - SFXIT1106 representing spark fountain effects with small, medium, large height at durations of 1sec and 2sec; you can adjust the durations of effects after inserting them into the show, and you can also copy/paste effects into your My Effects collection and modify their duration there to create a palette of options to add to the show Channel 2 (DMX Channel Base + 1) Pre-heat on (50-100 = ON). Part number SFXIT1103, "SFXIT-CS01 [061/0000] With Pre-Heat / Safety Channel"   Instructions To design a show for SpecialFX.it ML-CS01 Cold Sparks Machines, please follow these steps:  Set up.  (A) Follow the flame set up instructions in the Flame systems basic instructions and Exporting a firing system script for flame systems.  Depending on your DMX controller, you may choose to give each Cold Sparks Machine its own DMX universe, or give each Cold Sparks Machine a channel range in a shared DMX universe.  (B) In the real world configure each physical unit's "Start Address" to be the start of the channel range you allocate for it. (C) In Finale 3D configure the "DMX Channel Base" of the fixture to match the Start Address exactly. Add the Assorted DMX supplier catalog to your Finale 3D account.  Login to the finale3d.com website.  At the top of the page, go to “My Account > Supplier Catalog Settings” (www.finale3d.com/supplier-catalogs-settings/).  Find the Assorted DMX supplier catalog in the table, and turn the switch to ON.  Then launch the Finale 3D application and synch to network.  The Assorted DMX catalog will appear as one of the available collections in the effects window, which you can choose from the selector at the top of the window. Add spark fountain effects to the show and adjust their durations.  (A) Right-click on the Cold Sparks Machine positions to add compatible effects from the context menu or to filter the effects window to compatible effects.   Although the catalog contains effects with short durations, you can adjust the durations of the effects on the timeline after inserting them.  Add a "With DMX Pre-Heat / Safety Channel" effect (e.g., part number SFXIT1103) and adjust its duration to cover the time range you want the pre-heat mode ON.   Choosing the DMX channel ranges for fixtures Each Cold Sparks Machine fixture requires two channels, so if you are putting multiple fixtures in the same DMX Universe, you need to set the Start Address on the fixture in the real world and the corresponding DMX Channel Base on the fixture in Finale 3D to a range of channels that doesn't overlap with others.  A DMX universe has channels 1-512.  If you want to pack as many fixtures into the 512 channels of a DMX universe as you can, back-to-back ranges are the most efficient.  Some DMX firing systems only support 50 or 100 channels, so you may not have all 512 channels to work with.   Table 2 – Example channel ranges for Cold Sparks Machine fixtures in a DMX universe Fixture DMX Channel Base Channels Used 1 1 1-2 2 3 3-4 3 5 5-6 4 7 7-8 5 9 9-10 6 11 11-12 7 13 13-14 8 15 15-16 9 17 17-18 10 19 19-20 ... 256 511 511-512   Table 3 – Example files and downloads Download link Explanation User manual--cold spark machine.pdf SpecialFX.it ML-CS01 Cold Sparks Machine user manual
