Built in Effects
| Effect | Effect icon | Description |
| Off | The off effect simply turns every pixel off on the model it is placed on. | |
| On | The ON effect turns every pixel on for a given model.
Only one color may be used with the ON effect. | |
| Bars | The Bars effect creates straight edged multiple color bars that move across a model.
The edges may be hard, highlighted or 3D (soft). | |
| Butterfly | The Butterfly effect creates seemingly random patterns of color swirling around, based on an initial set of parameters | |
| Circles | The Circles effect creates solid sphere like objects that move seemingly in random fashion on a model.
Used most effectively on models such as a mega tree or a matrix. | |
| ColorWash | The ColorWash effect creates a wash effect of the selected color or colors across the model. | |
| Faces | The Faces effect is used by xLights/Nutcracker to generate singing and talking face effects. It is used and placed on the sequencer as part of the Papagayo import functionality, if the target in xLights/Nutcracker is a Coro face
It is also used within xLights/Nutcracker functionality to generate Singing Faces | |
| Curtain | The Curtain effect creates a color transition of one or more colors across the face of a model depicting a curtain opening or closing based on the options selected.
Used most effectively on models such as a mega tree, a matrix, whole house or grouped arches. Can also be used on singular items such as each arch. | |
| Fan | The Fan effect creates spiralling blade like objects that move around the model either clockwise or counterclockwise. Used most effectively on models such as a mega tree or a matrix. | |
| Fire | The Fire effect creates an effect that appears as licks of flames.
Used most effectively on models such as a mega tree or a matrix. | |
| Fireworks | The Fireworks effect creates a fireworks type of effect of exploding lights in a burst.
Used most effectively on models such as a mega tree or a matrix. | |
| Galaxy | The Galaxy effect creates a spiral like effect that expands around the model either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Used most effectively on models such as a mega tree or a matrix. | |
| Garlands | The Garland effect creates an effect that simulates a circle of rings that drop on each other (depending on the direction of the effect). | |
| Glediator | The Glediator effect enables the import and use of an effect that has been created using the Glediator software into xLights/Nutcracker
Place the Glediator effect in on timing cells that you wish to have the effect on a model. Click on the filename prompt and browse and select the gladiator file. | |
| Life | The Life effect simulates the Game of Life cellular automation model. | |
| Meteors | The Meteors effect generates a number of meteor like streaks of color. | |
| Morph | The morph effect creates a movement across a model of one or many strands of lights with a head, body and tail. Morph looks best on megatrees, arches and matrix models |
