RGB pixels are used in our singing faces so a section can be any color, making it useful when expressing moods during a song.
When sent with a singing face quarter, our Pixie8 controllers are configured in "personality mode" to make each of the above sections act like dumb RGB pixels. This way, adding a singing face to your network only takes up “14 dumb pixels” instead of the full “200 smart pixels” actually used to create this face. This makes sequencing easier for you and saves you network space at the same time. You do not need to do anything special to your controller for this to happen – it has already been done for you at our warehouse. Do NOT reset your controller without instruction from the Light-O-Rama Help Desk.
Personality Mode - Default
Singing Face controllers are shipped already configured for personality mode. Using the Hardware Utility, two ports of the Pixie controller have been assigned to the respective character. It is important to connect the ports to the right character as pixel placement is different for each character - they are not interchangeable.
Firmware settings allow personality mode to treat a singing character as 14 pixels on your network instead of the full 200 pixel nodes used. (14 sections - 10 Mouth, 2 Eyes, Outline, Topper)
The personality of a singing face can be changed or removed by using a computer with Light-O-Rama software installed. Scan for the controller in the Hardware Utility, choose Config for your Pixie, and open the Advanced settings to find the dropdown.
Custom Mode
A custom model of V2 singing characters can be used if personality mode is disabled in the Hardware Utility. A custom model will use the full 200 pixels of data on your network instead of 14.
Use a custom model to use your Pixie in Double Unit ID mode (firmware v1.11+ required), use an Aurora Core or Aurora Edge, or to use Motion Effects on any section of your character instead of solid colors. Custom models will NOT work automatically with Light-O-Rama store sequences (which use personality mode configured effects), and will not transfer with tags. Copy and paste is required to use effects from Store Sequences.
