From the control page, you can select an available Lightform device, view important device information, and control your published project.

To select a Lightform device to use with Creator, click the Change Device button on the Control page.

If there are local and/or cloud Lightform devices that have been paired before and are available, they will show up on this page. If you are trying to pair a device, you can also start that process from this page by clicking the Pair Device to Wi-Fi Network link.

This tab shows a list of published slides and has a blue border around the slide that is currently playing. You can click on another slide to switch to it.

Live Effects & OSC Mappings

Screen Shot 2021-03-30 at 2.36.43 PM.png

When you publish your project, any Live Effects (Labs feature) from your project run in real-time on the Lightform device. These Live Effects have adjustable parameters which means that the effects will change in real-time as you edit the parameters.

Also on the Control Page are editable OSC mappings. Click the OSC tab to map controls to OSC.

From there, if you press the Learn button, the Lightform device will accept the next incoming OSC message and that message will be used to control the function.

If you'd like to trigger particular slides, set the mappings for "next slide" and "previous slide," as well as "slide index," where you can send the slide index number directly. For instance, 0.0 = first slide, 1.0 =second slide, and so on.

More information about using OSC can be found here:

Audio Reactivity

From the control page, Audio Reactivity can be enabled for projects published to an LF2+, LF2, or LFC device. More information about how it works can be found on the Audio Reactivity Overview and Audio Reactivity Settings pages.

Manual Alignment

These controls allow you to perspectively warp ("corner pin") projects after you have published them to the device. This is useful, for example, if you need to re-align the published content after slightly moving the projector. Instead of needing to update your project and re-publish, the manual alignment controls allow you to tweak the perspective of your project to fix the mis-aligned content.
