laser Show

Welcome to Run Mode
So this is the show that you have chosen or built. In run mode you can now use all the buttons above the scenes, to enhance or add effects to your scenes. Place the mouse over the buttons, to find out from the embedded hints what each button can do.
Create additional scenes by left clicking on a transitional effect (such as TWIRL) and then left clicking on a scene. Laser Electronics software creates an additional new scene, between the scene you have left clicked on and the next scene.
