Light-O-Rama can control your lights via several different kinds of hardware controllers. Primary among these, of course, are Light-O-Rama controllers, but all of the following types of controllers can be used:
Most lighting effects (such as fading, twinkling, and shimmering) are only supported on Light-O-Rama controllers and native DMX devices. Other controllers can only be turned on (to full brightness) or off.
When a channel is created in a sequence using the Sequence Editor, the kind of controller (known as "device type") can be assigned to it in a couple of ways:
| • | In the Channel Settings dialog, accessible by left-clicking the channel's button or by selecting "Change Channel Settings" on the channel's right-click popup menu; |
| • | Via the Channel Configuration screen, accessible by selecting "Channel Configuration" in the Tools menu. |
The Channel Settings dialog is most useful for changing a single channel, while the Channel Configuration screen is more useful for changing many channels at once.
