Keyboard Live Play

Keyboard Live Play is a new feature that has been added to all Laser Electronics Ltd laser and video software products.

Live Play allows you to position, size, move and add effects while playing a show live. These effects can be added while running the show, can be turned on or off and are scene independent, so by applying an effect to one scene the rest of your show remains unaltered. This feature is particularly useful for setting up and adjusting all of the scene parameters during the setting up or playing of a show. The following is a brief summary of the keyboard functions while in play mode.
