User Manual

Introduction

The PX-T10 is the most advanced wireless LED controller on the market today. The PX-T10 design is an

accumulation of years of research and development by ColorMaker inc. The PX-T10 is a microprocessor based

system that can be updated by the user as new software is developed. The hardware was designed with more memory

and features we could ever use so we are only limited by our imagination.

This manual was written by the PX-T10 software developers at ColorMaker. We have tried to explain the numerous

features the PX-T10 has to offer in the simplest terms possible. We understand the user will not think like a software

developer and understand our technical language so we have 9am to 9pm technical support for the confused user. We

have take thousands of technical calls and have a good understanding where users are most confused and have tried to

explain less technical terms in this manual. All we ask is that you take the time to read and the rest will fall into place

with a few phone calls.

The PX-T10 basic functions can be learned in a just a few easy steps and will cover lessons in this manual. The more

complicated features can be mastered is just under an hour. As always we have 9am to 9pm technical support (407)

862-3363 and 24/7 email support Jerry@ColorMaker.net. The lessons in this manual have been written to provide the

user with start up information to get up and running is just a few minutes. We will then take you into the ﬁ xture color

editing with the various functions and discuss how each function will work. This will be followed by scene control

and we will teach you how to record and play scenes. The ﬁ nal lesson will be using the ColorRoll features and how it

will senselessly integrate into the controls.

Below is a list of new features that will be covered in detail in this manual

1) Group Control

2) Master Dimmer Controls

3) Full ON/OFF Buttons

4) 10 Color Presets

5) ColorRoll STOP

6) F Save

7) SFCP (Single Fixture Color Programming)

8) Display in Percent or DMX

9) Battery Level Monitor

Keypad buttons and Functions

The PX-T10 has 30 buttons to control up to 90 individual ﬁ xtures. Each button was graphically designed to represent

a function. Some button functions will change when used with multi button press such as the shift button. All these

functions will be covered in detail later in this manual and followed by lessons and procedures.

Master control

This is the UP and Down control of the master dimmer. When pressed

all ﬁ xtures on the remote network address will be dimmed by the

setting from 0 to 100%. When dimmer is not at 100% (Full ON) the

LED indicator marked Master will light.

RGB controls

This is the UP and Down control for the RGB (Red,

Green and Blue) color settings. These will also be

used when a ColorRoll is active to adjust the Roll,

Rate and Flash controls of the ColorRoll

Full Button

This is a one of the multi button controls. When pressed with the RGB

controls the current color will advance to full on or full off.

Preset Button

This is another multi button control. When pressed with the Q1

through Q10 buttons the color in the circle will be the preset color

that will be sent to the controls.

Fixture Select buttons are multi

function buttons. The will be used to

select a ﬁ xture, Change networks and

select a color preset.

ColorRoll Select buttons. These will also be used to make changes to the PX-T10 function

controls.

ColorRoll Stop will be used to terminate a ColorRoll and a single channel. This is also a control button to set

the LED display to read out in Decimal (DMX) or Percentage 0%-100%.

Go Button used to execute a group control feature. This will also be used to display PX-T10 battery power

level.

Play Button use to play a scene

Record Button used to record a scene. This will also be used to command all ﬁ xtures to store its current color

into memory.

SFCP (Single Fixture ColorRoll Programming) This is a multi button control. When pressed along with the

Q1 through Q10 this will also the user to program ColorRolls using a single ﬁ xture. This will also be used to

restore the PX-T10 to default factory settings.

Shift Button used to select multi function controls

Blackout used to turn all ﬁ xtures OFF

Display Features

The PX-T10 has 4 LED indicators, 3 digit display and an RGB color

simulator to assist the user in remote navigation. These indicators will be

explained in more details in this manual as we guild you through each of

the features. The 4 LED indicators each with a single word to illustrate

what they will identify during programming. Here is a brief description:

Master indicator will light when master value is below 100%.

ColorRoll indicator will light when the RGB Up and DN buttons are for editing the ColorRoll Rate, Follow and

Flash values.

ALL indicator will light when Q10 (ALL) button was pressed to target all ﬁ xtures on the current network.

Group indicator will light when the user has preselected a group of ﬁ xtures for editing.

RGB Color Simulator is the larger LED just to the left of the 3 digit display. This will emit the same color as the

current ﬁ xture that is being edited. This is useful during programming and allow the user to make changes to ﬁ xture

color without needing a ﬁ xture to visually see the colors.

3 Digit LED Display is a numeric display that will also show alpha characters to guild the user in programming.

Display Power Down is a battery save feature that will turn off the display after 10 minutes of non use. By pressing

any button the display will activate.

PX-T10 Fade, Beep, Display Setup

The PX-T10 can be setup to each users needs with custom cross fade and dimmer speed controls. These custom

options are programed through the keypad with just a few simple steps. Once programmed the options setting are

saved to memory and are recalled each time the PX-T10 is turned on. The options can also be set back to factory

defaults if needed. Below is a table of the custom settings and a description of there features.

The options are accessed by pressing and hold the SHIFT button and then pressing the function button. The ﬁ rst press

will give the current setting and additional presses will change to next options. The shift key must be held for options

to change. The 3 Digit display will identify each action. The option values can be reset to factory defaults by pressing

and holding the SFCP (clear) button while turning on the PX-T10.

Fixture RGB Controls Introduction

The PX-T10 can control up to 90 individual ﬁ xtures which means each of the 90 ﬁ xtures under the control of the

PX-T10 can be doing something different whether its a static color or running a ColorRoll. The PX-T10 processor

will store all the changes made to each of the 90 ﬁ xtures in an internal buffer then recall the information when the

user returns to the ﬁ xture for editing. The RGB Color Simulator will glow the ﬁ xtures color along with the displays

3 digit value. ColorRoll fade rates are also recalled so the user can return to a ﬁ xture and edit the roll rates without

having to resend the ColorRoll pattern. ColorRoll indicators will light to identify the selected ﬁ xture is running a

ColorRoll pattern.

There are 5 ways to control the 10 ﬁ xtures on each network. The functions are for static colors only ColorRolls will

be covered later.

RGB Level Controls

User selects a ﬁ xture, Group or ALL function then edits color with RGB UP/DN buttons. By pressing and holding

the Full buttons the selected color will jump to full ON or Full OFF.

Play Scene

When a scene is played the current 10 ﬁ xtures will cross fade to the next scene played.

ALL Control

By Selecting ALL (SHIFT + Q10) all 10 ﬁ xtures will follow the commands presented. All indicator will also light.

Group Control

User selects only the ﬁ xtures that he wants to take control then presses GO. Group indicator will also light.

Color Presets

User selects a ﬁ xture, Group or ALL function then selects a Color Preset. The selected ﬁ xtures will change to the

selected preset. The user also has control of cross fade control of color presets.

Getting Started

The PX-T10 has been pre programmed at the factory with default settings and is ready for use out of the box. All

ﬁ xtures are also factory programmed with default address channel 1 and will not require setup to use. To get started

turn on your ColorMaker ﬁ xture and the PX-T10 remote. Once the display reads F-1 you can used the Red, Green

and Blue Up and Down buttons to change the ﬁ xture color. By mixing the RGB with different intensity levels you can

generate up to 16 million colors. Fixture default channel is number 1 so all ﬁ xtures will be controlled using Q1 on the

PX-T10.

The ColorMaker line of wireless LED ﬁ xtures have an Auto Address feature that automatically sets the ﬁ xture address

by simply pressing a few buttons. The ColorMaker LED ﬁ xture will have a blue auto address button with an LED

indicator next to it.

Auto Addressing

Setting Fixtures to operate on different channels just follow these 3 steps.

Step 1) Power up the ﬁ xture then press and Hold the auto address button until the indicator light shows orange which

will take 1-2 seconds.

Step 2) Press one of the Q buttons on the PX-T10 you want the ﬁ xture to be programmed.

Step 3) Press the Red UP button to send the command. The ﬁ xture will now follow any command you send while on

the selected Q.

Follow these same 3 steps for all ﬁ xtures. The next lesson will take you through editing 10 ﬁ xtures each on a different

Q so if you have 10 ﬁ xtures auto address each one to Q1 through Q10.

Lesson 1: Editing 10 ﬁ xtures

This lesson with guide you through the steps to edit 10 ﬁ xtures each with a static color using the RGB UP/DN dimmer

controls.

Step 1) Turn on your PX-T10 and press the Blackout button. This will turn all ﬁ xtures OFF if not already and will

clear the PX-T10 buffer so all RGB levels are at 00.

Step 2) Now lets target ﬁ xture 1 by pressing the Q1 button. We will make this ﬁ xture red by pressing and holding the

Red UP button until the display reads 100. You will also see the RGB color simulator start to glow red to reﬂ ect the

changes make to Q1.

Step 3) Now lets target ﬁ xture 2 by pressing the Q2 button. We will make this ﬁ xture Green by pressing and holding

the Green UP button until the display reads 100. You will also see the RGB color simulator start to glow Green to

reﬂ ect the changes make to Q2.

Step 4) Now lets target ﬁ xture 3 by pressing the Q3 button. We will make this ﬁ xture Blue by pressing and holding

the Blue UP button until the display reads 100. You will also see the RGB color simulator start to glow Blue to reﬂ ect

the changes make to Q3.

Step 5) Now lets target ﬁ xture 4 by pressing the Q4 button. We will make this ﬁ xture Purple by pressing and holding

the Blue UP button until the display reads 100 then the Blue UP button until the display reads 100. You will also see

the RGB color simulator mix the Red and Blue colors to emit a purple.

Step 6) Now you should have 4 ﬁ xtures 1 red, 2 green, 3 blue and 4 purple. The PX-10 has an internal buffer that

will remember what color value each of the Q’s has been changed and when returning to the Q to make changes the

information will also be displayed for reference. Press Q1 and you will see the RGB Color simulator change to red

and the display will also be updated to the dimmer values for additional editing. Press each of the Q’s to get familiar

with the response.

Step 7) Now lets target ﬁ xture 5 by pressing the Q5 button. We will make this ﬁ xture 100% Red. You can use the Red

UP button and scroll 0 through 100 or Press and Hold the Full button then press the Red UP. The Full button will

advance the color to Full ON when UP is pressed or Full OFF when DN is pressed. This is just a short cut for quick

editing.

This should give you an understanding of the RGB dimmer controls. Lets move on to some other controls that will be

handy.

Lesson 1: Editing 10 ﬁ xtures (continued)

We have covered the basics on editing colors on each Q using the RGB dimmer controls. The PX-T10 has another

shortcut for quick editing called the “ALL” button which is also the Q10 button. The ALL or (Shift + Q10) function

select all 10 ﬁ xtures at one time to change the colors. The All command works well when the ﬁ xtures are all the

same color prior to the command. If you have already setup your ﬁ xtures with different colors use the Group and GO

command for better results.

Step 8) Lets blackout all the ﬁ xtures before we begin. Press the blackout button and all ﬁ xtures will go off and clear

the PX-T10 buffer. To activate the ALL function Press and Hold the Shift button and then press Q10 or All button.

The display will read “ALL” and the ALL indicator will light. Adjust any of the RGB dimmers and you will see all 10

ﬁ xtures will follow the commands. To exit all command just press any of the Q buttons and the PX-T10 will return to

single Q edit.

Controlling Fixtures with Color Presets.

The PX-T10 has 10 Color Presets which can be used to quickly change the selected ﬁ xture color. The color preset

buttons are also shared by the Q buttons. Preset colors are in the upper right corner of the button with the colored

circle that will represent the button preset color. The preset colors can be user programed to a desired color if the

factory default color is not acceptable. Programming color preset will be covered later in this manual.

Color Preset Fade Options

When using the Color Preset the user has the option on how the color preset are transmitted to the ﬁ xture. The setting

are Fade or OFF. This option is selected by (Shift + Color Preset button) Fade means the selected color preset will

fade from the current ﬁ xture color to the selected preset color. OFF means the selected Preset color is instantly change

without Fade.

Step 9) Lets blackout all the ﬁ xtures before we begin. Press the blackout button and all ﬁ xtures will go off and clear

the PX-T10 buffer. Lets select ﬁ xture 1 by pressing Q1 button. Now lets send color Preset 1 or RED to the ﬁ xture by

pressing and holding the Color Preset button then press Color Preset 1 or Q1. Fixture 1 will then change to RED. This

procedure can be used for all ﬁ xture and with any color preset.

Controlling Fixtures with Group and GO

PX-T10 can edit a group of selected ﬁ xtures with a function called Group and GO. The user can select any or all

ﬁ xtures and command only those selected to change. The user can control how the new color will be displayed on the

ﬁ xture when the GO command is given. The options are Hi, Low and OFF which are Cross fade time in the setup

commands. There are 3 steps to the Group and GO command. 1) select the group, 2) select the color and 3) execute

the GO. Let give it a try it will be more clear one you have completed the steps.

Step 10) Lets blackout all the ﬁ xtures before we begin. Press the blackout button and all ﬁ xtures will go off and clear

the PX-T10 buffer. Let target Fixture 1 and Fixture 4 and send Green to them. To setup the Group command press and

Hold the GO button and them press and release Q1 and press and release Q4. The group indicator will light to show

you have entered a Group and GO command. Now release the GO button this tells the PX-T10 you have ﬁ nished

selecting the ﬁ xtures in the group and will now choose a color. Press and hold the Green UP until the you reach 100%

or you can use the Full button for faster response. At this point you have selected the group, chosen a color and all that

is left is to execute the command. Press GO! Fixture 1 and 4 should now be green. Group and go color selection can

also be done with Color Presets so instead of Green UP you can Press and Hold the Color Preset button and choose a

color preset.

All the changes made to the ﬁ xtures are also stored in the PX-T10 buffer so you can return after a Group and GO

command and edit any of the 10 ﬁ xtures with any of the function commands.

Controlling Fixtures with Group and GO (continued)

Lets cover one last Group and GO feature before we move on. This time we will target 2 ﬁ xtures with different colors

and you will see a nice cross fade to the selected Group and GO color.

Step 11) Lets blackout all the ﬁ xtures before we begin. Press the blackout button and all ﬁ xtures will go off and clear

the PX-T10 buffer. Now set Fixture 1 through ﬁ xture 10 to different colors. I will leave this entirely up to you just

be sure then all are different. Not to worry you have 16 million colors to choose from. Now we want to be sure your

Group and GO is set to cross fade so you will see how this works. To edit the Cross fade setup value Press and Hold

the Shift button then press and release the ColorRoll 1 which is also the Cross Fade setup button. As we previously

discussed the ﬁ rst press and release displays the current value and additional presses will make changes. For the demo

we want the setting to be HI so adjust accordingly.

Step 12) Hopefully at this point you have ﬁ xture 1,2 and 3 to different colors. We will now change them to Blue and

you will see how they go from multi color to all blue with a nice cross fade. Lets execute the Group and GO command

by Press and Hold the GO button then press and lease Q1, Q2 and Q3. Release the GO button press the Blue UP

button until it reaches 100%. Now press the GO, you will see a nice cross fade from multi color ﬁ xtures to all blue.

That wraps up Group and GO, Practice mixing up the functions of RGB Dimmer control, Color Presets and Group

and GO your next event will be amazing.

Controlling Fixtures with Scenes

The PX-T10 has 10 programmable scene buttons that will store the RGB values of all 10 ﬁ xtures. The scenes are

controlled with the Q1 through Q10 and will use the Play and Rec buttons to execute and save. When a scene is

played the user has the option to setup how fast the scene will fade. Lets say you have 10 ﬁ xtures all set to green and

the scene you are about to play is all red. If you want the ﬁ xtures to instantly turn to red we will use the cross fade

setting of OFF, if you want the ﬁ xture to slowly go from green to red we will use the setting of Low and last setting

is Hi which will cross fade faster rate. This cross fade value is setup by using the Shift + ColorRoll 1 as previously

discussed.

Lets ﬁ rst record a simple red, green blue scene using 3 ﬁ xtures. Set ﬁ xture 1 to red, ﬁ xture 2 to green and ﬁ xture 3 to

blue all others will be off for now. To record this scene press the Rec button and the display will read “rec” to identify

the PX-T10 is ready to record a scene. Now press the scene button you want to store the scene we will use Q1 for this

demo so press Q1. Lets test your ﬁ rst scene. Press the blackout button to turn off all ﬁ xtures and then to play the scene

press Play and then Q1. You will notice 3 ﬁ xtures with the colors red, green and blue and depending on our cross fade

setting they may have instantly ﬂ ashed to the new colors or a slow cross fade. The PX-T10 controls the cross fade

time and the display will read “FAd” until the cross fade has completed. While cross fade is running the PX-T10 will

not accept any command from the keypad.

Master Dimmer Control

The PX-T10 and PX series LED ﬁ xtures have a new Master control. This will dim all ﬁ xtures on all 9 network

channels. When the PX-T10 master is not at full the Master indicator will light to let the user know the Master is

not at 100 %. Master dimmer works on all ﬁ xtures in static color and running ColorRoll patterns. The PX-T10 can

be turned off during an event if needed and when turned back on the Master control will load last dimmer setting

to resume control. User has an option to include all network addresses or select only 3. This option is set by Shift +

Master UP an DN. The minimum value is 3 which will set N1, N2 and N3 to be included in the master controls. The

maximum is 9 which will set all 9 network addresses to master control. There is a trade off in performance when all 9

network addresses are set so the default is 5. When this option is above 5 then the master dim time is increased which

can slow the rate of dim. This can be tested with a ﬁ xture or watch the 3 digit display during master UP and DN

control.

PX-T10 ColorRoll Technology

What is ColorRoll ?

“ColorRoll is a technology developed by ColorMaker inc to operate on the ColorMaker line of wireless LED ﬁ xtures.

When activated a collection of colors are transmitted to the ﬁ xture by a remote. This is an endless loop when the last

color is reached the process starts over to the ﬁ rst color. Once the ColorRoll has started the Fade Time from color to

color can be controlled The ﬁ xture will operate completely independent of the transmitter until it receives a signal

to terminate. Custom colors are programmed and saved in the remote. There are 3 buttons marked ColorRoll 1,

ColorRoll 2 and ColorRoll 3 which are used for the ColorRoll feature”

This was our ﬁ rst description when we ﬁ rst developed the technology. If you have used ColorMaker products in the

past you will have the basic understanding of ColorRolls. We have enhanced the ColorRoll features in the PX-T10 and

PX Series ﬁ xtures for better controls and integration into your event. There are still 10 colors in the pattern, there are

still controls for the fade, follow and ﬂ ash controls and there are still 3 ColorRoll buttons for programming. Below is a

list of the new features which we will take you through in the next lesson.

1) We have added a ColorRoll STOP button to terminate a ColorRoll. This is not just a Stop button it will also

command the ﬁ xture to return to the static color it was displaying before the ColorRoll command.

2) We have added ColorRoll Rate editing. When a ColorRoll command is given to a ﬁ xture the user can return to the

same ﬁ xture at any time to edit the rate, follow, and ﬂ ash values while the ﬁ xture continues its ColorRoll. The PX-T10

will identify the selected ﬁ xture is running a ColorRoll with a ColorRoll indicator and load the previous rate values

for editing.

These new features will enable the user to add ColorRolls to there event seamless. ColorRolls can be executed and

terminated without the need for a blackout.

Sending a ColorRoll to a ﬁ xture

ColorRolls are executed by selecting a ﬁ xture and then pressing 1 of the 3 ColorRoll buttons. The “Rec” buttons

is used to record and ColorRoll but the Play button is not used to start a ColorRoll. This has been a confusing part

for most of our users in the past so I wanted to clear this up for you. Let me take you through the steps to send a

ColorRoll. There are factory programmed ColorRoll patterns in all 3 buttons so we can send those for this demo.

Be sure the indicator light on the ColorMaker ﬁ xture is set to RED to enable the ColorRoll feature.

(See ﬁ xtures user’s manual for more information on this option)

Step 1) Select ﬁ xture 1 by pressing Q1

Step 2) Press ColorRoll 1 button to send the ColorRoll pattern to the ﬁ xture.

The ﬁ xture will start its ColorRoll and the PX-T10 ColorRoll indicator will light letting you know the RGB UP/DN

buttons are now to control the ColorRoll Rate, Follow and Flash controls. The Red value will control the fade rate or

how fast the colors will fade the higher the values the slower the rate, The Green value will control the Follow time,

this is the time each color will pause and the Blue value will control Flash or Fade. If the value is below 50% the

colors will fade and if the value is above 50% the colors will ﬂ ash.

ColorRoll Navigation

The PX-T10 new ColorRoll features will track which ﬁ xtures are running a ColorRoll and which ones have a static

color. This will enable the user to mix up the event with a colorful atmosphere. When a Q is selected the PX-T10 will

identify the Q is running a ColorRoll by lighting the ColorRoll indicator and the user will know the RGB UP/DN

buttons are for editing the ColorRoll Rate, Follow and Flash values. If the Q is pressed and the ColorRoll indicator

does not light then the Q is a static color and the RGB UP/DN buttons are for color editing.

ColorRoll (mixing it up)

There is one last feature we have added that will enhance your event. Our software developers thought this was a cool

idea so they added it. In a nutshell each Q has a little memory space that will hold 3 values. So we decided to use this

space to hold ColorRoll Rate, Follow and Flash values that will be unique to any ColorRoll running on the selected

Q. When you select Q1 and send ColorRoll 1 you can edit the rate of the ColorRoll. This rate is then stored in this

memory space. Then you can select Q2 and send the same ColorRoll 1 pattern and edit. Even though you have sent

the same ColorRoll to Q1 and Q2 they will have there own unique roll rates. Let me give you an example and why our

software developers thought this was a cool idea.

Example:

You have 10 ﬁ xtures and you use the (Shift + Q10) ALL function to target all ﬁ xtures. You then select ColorRoll 1 and

all ﬁ xtures start running the ColorRoll. The new PX series ColorRoll patterns are synchronized so all 10 ﬁ xtures will

roll at the same rate. Well that’s sounds boring, so you select Q1 and edit the roll rate then select Q2 and edit the roll

rate. Well now you have 2 ﬁ xtures running the same ColorRoll 1 pattern but with different roll rates. You can do this

for all 10 ﬁ xtures for some cool effects.

ColorRoll STOP

ColorRoll Stop function will terminate a ColorRoll pattern on a selected Q and return the ﬁ xture to the color it was

displaying before the ColorRoll was executed. This will enable the user to start and stop ColorRolls during an event

without the need to hit the blackout. Lets do a short lesson on ColorRoll Stop.

Step 1) Set ﬁ xture 1,2 and 3 to blue.

Step 2) Select Q1 and press ColorRoll 1.

Step 3) Select Q2 and press ColorRoll 1.

You should now have 2 ﬁ xtures with ColorRolls and 1 with static color Blue.

Step 4) Select Q1 and press ColorRoll Stop. Fixture 1 will then terminate ColorRoll and return to static color Blue.

Step 5) Select Q2 and press ColorRoll Stop. Fixture 2 will then terminate ColorRoll and return to static color Blue.

You will also see the RGB color simulator on the PX-T10 will show Q1, Q2 and Q3 all set to blue. How Cool!

Programming a ColorRoll

A ColorRoll pattern is a collection of up to 10 colors that the user can create using the 10 Q buttons on the PX-T10

with each Q being a separate color for example Q1 is the ﬁ rst color in the pattern and Q2 with be the second color

all the way to Q10 which will be the last color. A ColorRoll does not require all 10 colors to be set if you only want

to do a 3 color pattern which we will explain in our next lesson. The ColorRoll properties such as Fade Rate, Follow

Rate and Flash are not part of the programming steps but can be set after the user records the pattern to the ColorRoll

button.

There are several ways to program a ColorRoll the lessons we have done up till now have used 10 ﬁ xtures with each

ﬁ xture set to Q1 through Q10 so we will use all 10 in the ﬁ rst lesson.

Step 1) Lets ﬁ rst press the Blackout button to turn off all ﬁ xtures and clear the PX-T10 buffer. The buffer will hold the

ColorRoll pattern while we create it.

Step 2) Press the Q1 button and set to full Red. This is our 1st color in the pattern

Step 3) Press the Q2 button and set to full Green. This is our 2nd color in the pattern

Step 4) Press the Q3 button and set to full Blue. This is our 3rd color in the pattern

Step 5) Set Q4 through Q10 to colors of your choosing.

Step 6) Now that you have all 10 Q’s set we will program this ﬁ rst pattern to ColorRoll 1. Press and release the Rec

button and when the display reads “Rec” press ColorRoll 1. The pattern is now saved to ColorRoll 1. While you were

programming each Q the ﬁ xtures also displayed the colors in the pattern. You also had the RGB color simulator to

reference which assist you in programming.

Step 7) Lets test the new ColorRoll pattern. Press Q1 as we will target ﬁ xture 1 to run the ColorRoll. Now press

ColorRoll 1 and the ﬁ xture should run the pattern if programmed properly. When a new ColorRoll pattern is

programmed the Rate, Follow and Flash are all reset to 0 so you should have a fast rolling ColorRoll pattern.

ColorRoll Programming SFCP (Single Fixture Color Programming)

The PX-T10 has a new SFCP button which can be used to direct all Q’s being programmed to show up on ﬁ xture set

to Q1. This will not affect how the PX-T10 will save the pattern it only tells the PX-T10 to send the color to ﬁ xture 1

when the user selects the SFCP button. The SFCP is only active when the user PRESS and HOLD the SFCP button

while selecting the Q button.

ColorRoll Programming (remove the dead spot)

Lets go over the ColorRoll pattern some more to explain ColorRoll patterns. The ﬁ rst lesson we programmed a

ColorRoll pattern with 10 colors. The pattern rolled from the ﬁ rst color to the last then repeated. Lets say you only

wanted 2 colors and want the ﬁ xture to fade Red to Blue then repeat. This is possible but if you program Q1 to

Red and Q2 to blue and Q3 through Q10 to OFF the ﬁ xture will think Q3 is part of the ColorRoll program and will

roll Red, Blue to OFF then repeat. To avoid the OFF or dead space ﬁ ll the rest of the ColorRoll pattern to the same

color as your last color in your pattern in this case Blue. Below are 2 examples. Example 1 includes an OFF in the

ColorRoll and Example 2 removes the OFF.

Example 2: ColorRoll process that starts with Red then fades to Blue then repeats.

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 Q6 Q7 Q8 Q9 Q10

Example 1: ColorRoll process that starts with Red then fades to Blue then fades OFF then repeats.

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 Q6 Q7 Q8 Q9 Q10

ColorMaker is dedicated to the on going development of our wireless technology. The PX-T10 can be upgraded as

we develop new features to store Scene and ColorRolls.

The PX-T10 communicates over 916 MHz which will not be affected by wireless microphones, speakers and most

DJ equipment.
