▪	Various buttons and controls have universal functions. They are available for each MADRIX Effect / Layer. Learn more »Effect Areas [Left/Right] Learn more »Layers

Effect Settings

This MADRIX Effect uses the following, individual controls:

▪	Colors - Opens the Color Table to specify the colors. The default color is White. Learn more »Using Colors And Intensity

▪	BPM - Defines the speed. The default value is 1500. Valid values range from 0 to 9999. Learn more »Using BPM Control

▪	Fade - Defines how fast objects disappear. The default value is 150. Valid values range from 1 to 3000.

▪	Size - Defines the size of the objects [in % of the Matrix Size, depending on the Shape Alignment]. The default value is 10. Valid values range from 0.01 to 1000.

▪	Pitch - Defines the distance between objects for all 3 axes [in % of the Matrix Size]. The default values are 10, 10, 10. Valid values range from 0.01 to 100.

▪	Border - Defines the size of an object's border [in % of the shape size]. The default value is 1. Valid values range from 0.01 to 100.

▪	Alpha Mix - Defines the upper limit of how much alpha is added to each object [in %]. Alpha Mix will be visible when using additional Layers. The default value is 100. Valid values range from 0 to 100.

▪	Count - Defines the number of objects created at once. The default value is 1. Valid values range from 1 to 100.

	Distribution - Allows you to choose a certain Distribution Mode for the specific parameter. Often, you can then define a minimum value and a maximum value. Uniform - Each object has the same size. Random - Sizes will be generated randomly. RND - Generates random object sizes each time. This automatically activates Random Distribution Mode.
	Outer Glow / Inner Glow - Is only available for specific Shapes. Defines the outer shimmer or inner gleam of objects. The default values are 0.00. Valid values range from 0.01 to 100.
	Shape - Allows you to choose a specific shape for objects. A certain Size is required before a shape becomes visible. The default Shape is Square Filled.
	Shape Alignment - Allows you to choose to which side objects are aligned to. This is mainly relevant for 3D. The default Shape Alignment is Front.
	Shape Rotation Type - Is only available for specific Shapes. Defines the angle in which objects are rotated [0°, 90°, 180°, 270°, Random].
	Rendering Mode - Defines how objects are rendered. Each mode may enable additional settings [such as additional Shapes]. Choose from 2 different modes. The default setting is Extended. - Simple - Prioritizes processing speed over rendering possibilities. - Extended - Prioritizes rendering possibilities over over processing speed. This mode may require more performance.

Restoring The Default Settings

Restore Default Layer Settings - Restores the default settings of the Layer.
- All Layer Settings and Effect Settings will be restored to their default values.
- This does not include the MADRIX Effect selection, the Effect Parameter Chaser [which will be paused], or the Layer Macro [which will be stopped].
