Operation and mountin
The OSO Maestro works differently than most DMX controllers. It is very user-friendly in that you don't need
to create an entire program to put together an impressive light show.
It's important to know which devices are most compati le with the OSO Maestro DMX controller. Generally
speaking, it only works with specific Ayra lighting fixtures. Devices that are not listed in this user manual or
that are not explicitly indicated to e compati le will not function properly with this DMX controller.
Patchin your li htin
Use the patch list elow to ensure that the compati le device is programmed to start from the correct
channel and set to the correct channel mode. The OSO Maestro is pre-programmed to send a signal from
these specific channels. For each compati le product type, a total of 4 fixtures can e operated individually.
This results in etter, more dynamic light shows ecause colour and shutter chases can e programmed
over four separate fixtures.
Patch list:
PLEASE NOTE: future Ayra products may also be compatible with this controller. Compatibility with
this DMX controller is indicated per product. Contact your local dealer for more information about
product compatibility.
Specific Ayra products:
This DMX controller is designed specifically for Ayra lighting products. At this time, only the devices indicated
in this manual are compati le with this DMX controller. Always ensure that the products are set to the correct
channel mode and addressed to the right starting channel.
With moving fixtures like scanners and moving heads, it's possi le to assign pan and tilt inverts to the
fixtures themselves. A light show with eight moving heads can ecome even more dynamic when you assign
two of them to the same address and invert the pan and/or tilt of either one. The possi ilities are endless!
Compatibility with universal products:
It is possi le to use certain universal third-party lighting fixtures with the OSO Maestro DMX controller. Below
is an overview of all compati le DMX-controlled lighting.

Bear in mind that DMX-controlled equipment that has extra DMX channels (for instance 8 channels, 5 of
which are corresponding channels) as well as a compati le DMX channel division may not function properly
with this DMX controller.
General operation of the controller
If you are familiar with how to use a universal DMX controller, or if you have never worked with a DMX
controller efore, it will take some time to get used to the OSO Maestro's unique functionality.
The step- y-step instructions elow will teach you how to utilise the rotary
kno functions so you can create your first preset light show. A preset
consists of a specific composition of movements, colours, go os, shutter
effects and can e called up directly.
Turnin on the DMX controller
Make sure that the OSO Maestro is plugged into an active power socket.
There is a switch on the rear to turn on the controller.
During start-up, the Ayra rand name will appear in the display together
with the firmware version. The display will then show a grid and various
values.
Select a movement pro ram and enter the Fade Time and Step Time values
correctly.
The OSO Maestro has already een equipped with various movement programs for you to choose from. Of
course, some movement programs only work with fixtures that have moving capa ility such as scanners or
moving heads. If you're working with static fixtures, then this step is not applica le.

To select a movement program and determine the speed, use the 3 rotary kno s under the 'X/Y move'
section. Each of these controls has its own function:
- X/Y Type: Use this kno to select one of the 11 different uilt-in movement programs. Each program
consists of pre-programmed X and Y positions that are played in a continuous loop.
- X/Y Fade Time: Use this rotary kno to select the speed in which step 1 transitions into step 2 within the
specified movement program.
This value can e set from 1 to 255, with 1 eing very fast and 255 eing very slow. A value of a out 30 is a
good place to start.
- X/Y Step Time: As mentioned with the X/Y Type function, each movement program plays a continuous loop
of X and Y positions. With the X/Y Fade Time, you can determine how long the transition etween the two
steps should take.
With X/Y Step Time, you can indicate how quickly the steps alternate. To create fluid, smooth movement,
enter the same value as the X/Y Fade Time function. You can also enter another value, which can have the
following effect:
Fade Time
value
Step Time
value
Effect
30 30 Fluid, smooth movement due to correct alignment of the Fade Time and Step
Time values
30 15 Fast movement with limited range ecause there is not enough time for the
ultimate step position to e reached efore the next step is activated.
15 30 Fast movement and full range, ut the moving fixture stands still in the ultimate
position for a (short) period of time.
15 15 Relatively fast, smooth movement due to correct alignment of the Fade Time
and Step Time values.
50 50 Relatively calm, smooth movement due to correct alignment of the Fade Time
and Step Time values.
There is really no wrong way to create different com inations and the effects vary greatly depending on the
values you enter. Don't e afraid to experiment with different values and see what happens!
Selectin colours, obos and chases
To make your show even more dynamic, create colour com inations that move to the eat of the music or
use static colours. All moving and static fixtures are equipped with various colour options.
This is also the case with go os. A go o is a stencil wheel that is placed in front of the light source so that a
figure or pattern is projected. Not every fixture has a go o wheel on oard so e sure to check if your fixture
is equipped with one efore use. Devices like scanners and spotlight moving heads have go o wheels as
standard.
The Colour and Go o sections function the same way, so we will go through them together.
