Pairing and basic settings
Turn on the cube and wait for the bluetooth light. On iOS or Android open the laser cube app. Tap add device and select your cube. Name the device for easy recall.
Naming rules
Use venue or room then date. Example living room 0904. If you run two cubes add L and R.
Safe defaults
Brightness low. Speed slow. Aim above eye line. Save profile as default. Keep the phone within a few meters on first pair. Turn off other bluetooth speakers to reduce noise.
Multi device tips
iOS and Android both work. Stay in one phone per show. Disable battery saver on the show phone. Keep screen on during the playlist.
Pattern packs and playlists
You get a basic app patterns starter pack. Load it first. Add more packs after the room test.
Import flow
Open patterns. Tap import. Pick simple shapes lines cones and fans. Avoid tight static dots on night one.
Build a short playlist
Six to eight looks. Each look 8 to 12 seconds. One slow fan. One fast sweep. One tunnel. Save as living room test.
BPM and feel
You can match mood without hard sync. Use faster speed on peaks. Drop speed for vocals and breaks. Keep brightness steady so cameras see the beams.
Transitions
Crossfade short. Do not stack too many effects. Smoother flow reads better on haze.
Safety angles and test frames
Place the cube at chest to head height. Aim beams above the audience line. Run a grid or fan test frame.
Walk test
Check from back to front. Sit in front row seats. Look for any low beams. Raise tilt if a beam hits eye level.
Angles
Wide fans feel calm. Narrow tunnels feel intense. Keep narrow looks brief and high. Avoid mirrors and glass.
Safe profile
Store tilt. Store brightness. Store speed. Name it safe default. Load it before every show.
