  1. Computer Control The Gig

  2. The computer is good at controlling effects for a band It is fast It can switch lots of outputs on/off It has a memory that can save sequences of programmes What features in the program can help us run the lighting & smoke effects?

  3. Teacher resource 6.1 What lighting effects are there? What other effects are there? Howcould a computer control these effects?

  4. Here are two simple sequences

  5. If we combine them, the flowchart becomes complex and we have to re-write boxes-

  6. Use flow chart symbols Use precise control words Structure instructions in sequence Use a sub-routine to make your programs more efficient Create a sequence for a light show Today you will:

  7. By using a sub-routine, we can build short programs that can be re-used…

  8. A simulation is a special type of computer model which mimics a real life situation What is a simulation?

  9. They are often used to train people how to deal with situations that are too dangerous, expensive or difficult to practise for real. They can also be used for games Pilots train in fight simulators Astronauts use simulators to mimic conditions in space Seismologists use simulations to predict the effects of earthquakes Where are simulations used?

  10. Cheaper than doing it for real No equipment is damaged People are not in danger If there is something wrong with the model things can be changed quickly and cheaply Advantages of simulations

  11. The results of the simulations are only as good as the model No simulation can take into account every situation that can happen in real life Limitations of simulations

  12. The expense of creating a light show on a stage means that you MUST design your system first The best way to do this is by using control software to mimic the real thing so if you make a mistake it can be edited easily Using a simulation to create light sequence for a gig
