WARNING
Congratulations on your purchase of the ShoMaster Special Eects Console. This manual will provide
an overview of the ShoMaster functions, capabilities, and instructions for proper operation. If you have
questions outside the scope of this manual, feel free to contact us directly.
Built specifically for FX operators, the ShoMaster will provide precise control of Special Eects Equipment
of all kinds. CO2 Jets, Confetti Blowers, Streamers, Fog, Haze & more.
The built in timers allow you to track CO2 usage, taking the guess work out of tank changeovers. The
timers can also be utilized for other FX products that rely on consumables, or a reference for cues calling
for a specified duration.
A plug and play unit, designed to be used with any Special FX product with DMX control. If your products
don’t use DMX, use the built in Neutrik True1 AC Outputs, and trigger your products directly from the
ShoMaster.
There are several modes pre-programmed into the controller to suit the majority of FX products. These
modes can be changed on the fly, using the built in touch screen. If you need a custom mode, no problem.
The ShoMaster has 4 customizable modes, with 20 configurable DMX channels each.
The ShoMaster is designed to be a simple, intuitive control solution for Special
Eects Equipment. Necessary precautions should be taken when using FX
products to ensure the safety of the operator, crew, and audience.
Do not operate this product, or any special eects product without proper
knowledge and training. Never operate Special Eects Equipment under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.

The ShoMaster accepts 110-240v AC. If you plan to utilize the
AC Outputs, make sure the connected equipment’s voltage
requirement matches the input voltage being sent to the
ShoMaster.
1.
SET ADDRESSES
Each bank has a starting DMX address. Banks cannot overlap
addresses. Use the patch menu to automatically calculate
available addresses, then set your equipments addresses
accordingly. If desired, addresses can be set manually as well.
3.
IT’S SHOTIME
Now that all modes, addresses and cues have been configured,
it’s time to start the show.
Read through the entire manual for additional capabilities.
5.
SET MODES
Select the mode(s) that match the equipment you plan to
operate. There are several preset modes available, however
if no preset mode fits the necessary channeling, configure a
custom mode. (Instructions below).
2.
CONFIGURE CUES
The last step is to configure cue names, colors, timers and
bump/hold options. These settings can be accessed on the
bank settings page. To access, press the cog wheel inside
desired bank on the homepage.

Banks can be disabled if desired. This will “unpatch” the bank from the console, disable the banks DMX
output, cue functions & button illumination. This can be useful to avoid operator confusion.
The ShoMaster has 4 available banks, each of which can be customized. To access this page, tap the cog
icon in respective bank (located on the home screen). Tank timer values can be calculated and set from the
“TANK CALCULATOR” section. Each bank can be assigned a name by tapping the text (i.e. DS CRYO) on
the top of this page. Most modes can also have each cue renamed by tapping on the text in the “BUTTON
SETTINGS” section (i.e. JET 1).

Each cue button can be customized to display a dierent color & name. Bump (momentary) is the
default cue function, but if desired “HOLD MODE” can be utilized for a latching cue.
Operator has several color options for cue buttons.
To assign a color to an entire bank, press and hold
any ring until the “SET COLOR” window appears.
NO COLOR is a useful selection to identify an
unused cue (turns o the buttons LED).
If a custom color is desired, press the CUSTOM
button at the top right corner of the color window.
This will allow any color to be selected in the
gradient, and then stored for repeated use.
NOTE: Custom button colors are not available for
LED Attachment & FOG modes, as the macros are
hard coded.
When eects are to remain on for an extended
duration, utilize HOLD MODE on the desired cues.
User will be prompted with a warning before being
able to activate HOLD MODE.
This is useful for lights, fans, hazers, etc.

MODE SELECTION
The ShoMaster has 4 banks of control, with each bank being assigned a mode. These modes can be
thought of as “fixtures” or “preset modes”. Currently there are a total of 8 “preset modes” and 4 custom
modes. Custom modes are user configurable, with extensive options.
Co2 mode presets are typically used to
trigger cryo jets, confetti cannons, etc, but
can also be used to trigger other products.
All of these modes have 4 separate zones,
with the exception of “JET + LED”, which only
has one zone of control.
Fog modes are meant to be used with
specific vertical fog machines. These modes
include color presets and feature a key
safety on the fog channel.
Custom modes can be used when the
included preset modes do not support the
devices being used, there is a need for
specific colors or channels, or there are
certain other features that your fixture or
device requires to operate.

MULTI TIMER MODES
MODE SELECTION
Multi timer modes have the ability to trigger multiple eects from the same bank. For example, 4 separate
zones of CO2 jets can be used in a single bank of buttons with 4 separate timers.
By default, custom modes have 4 separate timers. Custom modes currently can only be set to display 4
timers, or no timers. The DMX channel that is being tracked by the timer is assignable in the custom mode
settings page.
For example, if you are using a custom mode to trigger a product with 3 channels (Heater, Fan, Solenoid),
you will most likely want the solenoid channel to be assigned to a timer.

SINGLE TIMER MODES
MODE SELECTION
Single zone modes can be used in situations where all jets or eects are always triggered from the same
group of tanks (or daisy chained jets, pulling from multiple tank pods). These modes display only one timer.
Fog modes do not display a timer, but act as one “ZONE”, meaning the output channel is shared across all
4 cue buttons. Each button in that bank will control dierent LED colors on the product, in addition to the
fog output.

MODE
Custom modes can be configured to control products that require DMX channeling that does not match
with an existing preset mode. Custom modes have 20 configurable channels, that can be shared between
the 4 buttons in any given bank. If the user utilizes a custom mode in all 4 banks, there will be a total of
80 DMX channels.
Each custom mode can be assigned a name for easy identification. User can also elect to display 0-255,
or a percentage (0-100%).
On the left side of the custom mode screen, user has several control options. By default, when
configuring a custom mode, the ShoMaster will not actively send DMX output. If desired, user can toggle
to LIVE, which will prompt a starting address be entered. This will enable DMX output in real time, starting
at the entered DMX address.
To clear channel values, simply drag the sliders to desired position, or utilize the CLEAR BUTTON
function. This will set all channels to 0.
After desired channels have been configured, press SAVE BUTTON. This will save the channel settings to
the active button, which is identified by the illuminated ring in the ACTIVE BUTTON section.

CHANNEL TYPE
When creating a custom mode, we recommend setting a function name to each channel. For example, if
you are configuring a custom mode to control a CO2 Jet & LED, the channels would look like the below
image. (i.e. Valve / Red / Green / Blue / ETC). This makes configuring your buttons much more intuitive.
TIP: Press and hold the channel value number to bring up a keypad. This will give the user precise control
of each channel’s DMX value.
