Activation
Wolfmix must be activated at wolfmix.com/activate before it can be used. The supplied
key is unique to each Wolfmix controller. Each activation key has a unique response
key which will be provided by the website during the activation process. Tapping
Enter
Response
will display a keyboard to enter the response key. This process is only
required one time. If the keyboard does not disappear when the response is entered,
then the key is incorrect.
Startup key-combinations
Several special startup modes are available by powering the controller whilst holding
the following key combinations:
●WOLF STROBE : performs a test sequence including touch screen, buttons,
encoders, microphone and DMX connectors. Connect DMX connector A to
connector B, and connect DMX connector C to D.
●WOLF BLINDER : restores the default project which is loaded when creating a
new project. Useful when the currently loaded project has a problem.
●WOLF SPEED : enters Wolfmix firmware recovery mode. Used to write a new
firmware version if the main firmware does not start.
●WOLF BLACKOUT : erases all data, including fixture projects and fixture
profiles.
●WOLF SMOKE : restores the factory firmware which came with the Wolfmix.
Used in a critical situation whereby the firmware becomes unusable and a
PC/MAC is not available to update to the latest firmware.
●SHIFT PRESET : enter bootloader mode. All lights will flash white. This is used
during factory production only.

Engine is triggered every 40ms (25 fps). All DMX channels are set to their default
values at the beginning of each frame, and then each effect is added one-by-one.
