Introduction
S2L Shapes are a real-time equalization of the audio signal using a variation of shapes to display the audio input. By default low frequencies will be displayed at the bottom of the matrix and high tones at the top.

Effect Settings
This MADRIX 5 Effect uses the following, individual controls:
▪Colors - Opens the Color Table to specify the colors. The default color is White.

▪Fade - Defines how fast objects disappear. This value represents Beats Per Minute [BPM]. The default value is 150. Valid values range from 1 to 3000.
▪Size - Defines the size of the objects [in % of the Matrix Size]. The default value is 10. Valid values range from 0.01 to 100.
▪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.
▪Sensitivity - Defines how quickly and accurately MADRIX 5 reacts to the music [in %]. The default value is 50. Valid values range from 0 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.
|
|
Position Origin Type - Defines the point of origin of Shapes [and hence their relative position].
|
|
Outer Glow / Inner Glow - Is only available for specific Shapes. Defines the outer shimmer or inner gleam of objects. The default settings are 1.00. Valid values range from 0.01 to 100.
|
|
Shift - Shifts the position of equalizer bands [in %]. By default, lower frequencies are shown to the left and high frequencies are shown to the left. The default setting is 0. Valid values range from 0 to 100.
|
|
Amplification - Amplifies the audio input and as a result increases the visual intensity [in %]. The default setting is 0. Valid values range from 0 to 100.
|
|
Invert - Inverts the position of objects.
|
|
Mirror - Mirrors objects by creating duplicates on the opposite position.
|
|
Shape - Allows you to choose a specific shape for objects. A certain Size is required before a shape becomes visible. The default setting is Square Filled.
|
|
Shape Alignment - Allows you to choose to which side objects are aligned to. This is mainly relevant for 3D. The default setting 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 5 Effect selection, the Effect Parameter Chaser [which will be paused], or the Layer Macro [which will be stopped].
