Slide 1
Computer Control
The Gig
![Page 2: Slide 1 Computer Control The Gig. Slide 2 What features in the program can help us run the lighting & smoke effects? The computer is good at controlling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1acc7f8b9ab05996fe7a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Slide 2
What features in the program can help us run the lighting & smoke effects?
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

Slide 3
What lighting effects are there?
Teacher resource 6.1
What other effects are there?
How could a computer control these effects?

Slide 4
Here are two simple sequences
Start
Output 3 on 1 off
Output 2 on 3 off
Output 1 on 2 off

Slide 5
If we combine them, the flowchart becomes complex and we have to re-write boxes-
Start
Output 3 on 1 off
Output 2 on 3 off
Output 1 on 2 off
Output 1 on 3 off
Output 2 on 1 off
Output 3 on 2 off

Slide 6
Today you will:
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

Slide 7
By using a sub-routine, we can build short programs that can be re-used…
Sub 1(lighttc)
Output 1 on 3 off
Output 2 on 1 off
Output 3 on 2 off
Stop
Sub 2(drum fl)
Turn Output 3 on
Turn Output 3 off
Stop
Start
Sub 1(lighttc) x 3
Sub 2(drum fl) x 2
Sub 1(lighttc) x 3
Sub 2(drum fl) x 1

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

Slide 9
Where are simulations used?
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

Slide 10
Advantages of simulations
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

Slide 11
Limitations of simulations
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

Slide 12
Using a simulation to create light sequence for a gig
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
