Manual is the mode you play like an instrument. You prepare boards of colours, gradients and media, and during the show each tap in the console puts that look on every guest’s phone at the same moment. Manual is a mode of the During the event phase.

​
The three boards

Manual has three boards, chosen with the tabs at the top: Media, Color and Gradient. Each board is a set of tiles you prepare before the show and play during it.
Up to 24 tiles: pictures, videos, polls or sponsor ads. Tap a tile to open it on every phone at once.

Set up a board

1

Add tiles

Choose Add color, Add gradient or Add media. A colour takes a hex or RGB value. A gradient takes a start colour, an end colour and between 2 and 16 steps (8 by default). Media takes a picture, a video, a poll or an ad.

Bring in what you saved

Choose From library to add colours, gradients or media you keep in your library. To keep a board for later events, choose Save colors or Save gradients.
3

Give colours a key

In a colour’s window, turn on Keyboard shortcut and press a letter or a number. During the show, pressing that key puts the colour on every phone, so you can play colours without looking at the screen.
4

Arrange the board

Choose Edit on a board (for example Edit Colors) to change, delete or reorder tiles. Drag a tile by its handle to move it. Nothing is sent to phones while you edit.
The Template menu saves the whole Manual setup as a template in your library, or adds one you saved before. Use it to start every event of a tour from the same boards.

​
Play it during the show

Manual reaches phones only while it is on air. Select Manual in the console and choose Set on air. Until then the console tells you that what you set here shows when Manual is on air, so you can prepare the next look while another mode plays. Once Manual is on air, every tap, drag or key you press goes to every phone in the show. The console’s phone preview shows what guests see.
