COLOR FX
Mix up to 16 colors to create a Rainbow, Sparkle, or Light Fever effect. Wolfmix applies these effects to the color channels of the lights, including RGB, Amber, White, UV, or CMY. For lights without color mixing, the effects can be applied to a fixed color wheel.MOVE FX
Create moving patterns on scanners and moving heads. The Move FX module includes Pan, Tilt, Circle, and a curved Magic Carpet. Fan out the light beams and move the center of a pattern to play up in the sky or down on the stage.BEAM FX
Chases, waves, and heartbeat dimming effects can be created with the Beam FX module. The effects are applied to the color channels or, for lights without color mixing, to the dimmer or shutter channels. Create your own patterns with the step sequencer.
Link a second Wolf
...or a DMX IN controller using WLINK
Connect 2 Wolfmix controllers with the 5-pin-to-5-pin WLINK cable (available separately), and they will follow each other. This allows you to control up to 8 groups side by side or double up by extending with a standard 5-pin DMX cable. Synchronize a Wolfmix behind the bar with one in the DJ booth or a Wolfmix on stage with one at the front of the house.Alternatively, the WLINK port can be used to connect a DMX controller like a traditional DMX fader board - this way, DMX input channels can be mapped to group dimmers or directly to output channels. WLINK requires an additional purchase, available through the WTOOLS app.
