The Control Page allows you to select an available Lightform device, provides device information, and if a project has been published to your device, this is where you would go to control the project.
Change Device
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.

Project Control
The main view has controls for a project that is published to your selected device.
Project Playback
Play/stop a project and advance slides
Slides
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
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.
Audio Reactivity
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.
