Introduction
TRI Drops displays [falling] drops when triggered by you.
The lowest input triggers a drop to the far left by default. The highest input triggers a drop to the far right by default. In-between triggers are assigned to in-between positions.

Port Settings

|
Port - Selects the Trigger Port [1 - 64].
- Make sure to select the correct port first.
- This setting should correspond to the settings you have made in the Device Manager. Learn more »Configuration Of TRI

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.
Learn more »[Global] Colors And Intensity
▪Shapes - Opens the Shape Table to specify the shapes. The default color is Rectangle Filled.
Learn more »Using Shapes [Shape Table]
▪BPM - Defines the speed. The default value is 1500. Valid values range from 0 to 9999.

▪Size - Defines the size of objects [Width, Height, Depth]. The default values are 1, 1, 1. Valid values range from 0.1 to 1000.
▪Length - Defines the minimum length of a drop. The overall length depends on how long you trigger the effect. The default value is 10. Valid values range from 0 to 100.
▪Rotation - Defines the rotation of objects in X, Y, and Z [in °]. The default values are 0, 0, 0. Valid values range from -180 to 180.
▪Displacement - Defines the amount of movement distortion. The default value is 0. Valid values range from 0 to 100.
▪Alpha Mix - Defines the upper limit of how much alpha is added to each drop [in %]. Alpha Mix will be visible when using additional Layers. The default value is 100. Valid values range from 0 to 100.

|
Peak - Defines the position of the peak of the drop. The default value is 0.00. Valid values range from 0.00 to 100.00.
|


|
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.
|

|
Length Offset - Defines if an offset is added to the trace of a drop [in % of the Matrix Size]. The default setting is 0. Valid values range from 0 to 100.
|

|
Continuous Rotation - Animates the shapes and rotates them around the corresponding axis permanently.
|

|
Rotation Origin Type - Defines the point of origin of the applied rotation.
|

|
Rotation Offset - Defines if an offset is added to the rotation of a drop [in % of the Matrix Size]. The default setting is 0. Valid values range from 0 to 100.
|

|
Pitch 1 - Defines the first distance between objects depending on the direction [in % of the Matrix Size]. The default setting is 0. Valid values range from 0 to 100.
|

|
Pitch 2 - Defines the second distance between objects depending on the direction [in % of the Matrix Size]. The default setting is 0. Valid values range from 0 to 100.
|

|
Displacement Distribution - Is only available for Displacement. Is applied in dependence of the direction that is chosen. Allows you to choose the area the distortion is applied to [Uniform, Linear Increasing, Linear Decreasing, Triangle]. The default setting is Uniform.
|

|
Displacement Speed - Is only available for Displacement. Allows you to choose to speed in which the distortion affects the visuals. The default setting is 10.0.
|

|
Invert - Inverts the position of objects.
|

|
Mirror - Mirrors objects by creating duplicates on the opposite position.
|

|
Direction - Allows you to choose the direction of the movement. The default setting is Down. Learn more »Using Directions
|

|
Direction - Allows you to choose the direction of the movement [To The Front or To The Back]. This is mainly relevant for 3D. The default setting is Down. Learn more »Using Directions
|

|
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 Simple.
- 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].
