RGB CRITTER 2.0

MAIN MENU (ml-m9)

  • The RGB Critter’s Main Menu consists of 9 different modes (ml—m9) that you can explore using the Arrow and Rocket buttons. These 9 modes are organized using the colors of the rainbow (see Main Menu graphic below). Each mode is either a solid color (m1) or a repeating pattern of fades and/or strobes (m2—m8). The Rainbow Road (m9) contains 30 of our favorite presets.

RETURN TO MAIN MENU (ml-m9)

  • If at any point you want to return to the Main Menu (ml—m9), hold the Power button until the LED starts pulsing red.

SOLID COLORS (m1)

  • ml contains 39 solid color options. To view these solid color options, find ml (color: white) and hold the Arrow button until the LED turns off and on and you see the color white. You are now able to explore the 39 colors using the Arrow and Rocket buttons.

ACCESSING PRESETS

  • Each mode ml—m8 contains 8 presets. The presets use the same pattern as the selected mode (ml—m8). For example, m2 is the “fade mode” (1 color fading into the next, then repeat). If you want to view more “fade mode” presets, you will access them within the presets of m2.
  • To view presets of m2—m9, navigate to the desired mode and use a short hold of the Arrow button until the first preset loads. Explore the presets using the Arrow and Rocket buttons.
  • The Rainbow Road (m9) contains up to 30 presets. The Rainbow Road’s presets are a combination of presets sourced from ml—m8.

EXTRA INFORMATION

  • When turning on the Critter for the first time, or after a factory reset, you will be viewing ml (solid color: white). The Critter will always turn on in the last mode or preset used when it was turned off.
  • Soft Reset (If you’re lost, do this) If you’re ever lost, turn off your RGB Critter and hold the Power button until the Critter turns on in ml (color white).
