In capsule 1, the Favorites mode gives you access to the last 10 patterns you have SAVED.
What is a Pattern?
Mode = one of the 13 adjustable modes the capsule light can be in
Pattern = Mode + Adjustment
Since each mode is adjustable and some have multiple patterns, these are important distinctions.
How do I save a pattern?
Hold the button until it turns off (about 1.5 sec.) → this saves the pattern you were in.
When you press the button to turn it back on, your capsule light will return to this pattern. It will ALSO record it in "Favorites".
How do I use Favorites?
When you save a new pattern, it bumps the rest of the previously saved patterns down the line. The 10th one is erased. So if you want to save patterns in a particular order, you would do it in reverse, ending with the first one you want to play.
The default pattern in Favorites is the pattern most recently saved.
The factory setting has the first 10 default patterns - from Rainbow to Strobe - saved as the 10 Favorite patterns—however this may have been changed during testing before you get them, so please ignore the factory settings.
When you start selecting your own Favorite patterns, they will overwrite the defaults. Your most recent favorited pattern-adjustment will appear first as the new default.
Selecting/cycling through your Favorites
In Favorites: Hold the button for about 1 second until the capsule light blinks, and let go → you enter "Favorites/Adjust".
To select a pattern while in Favorites/Adjust: Each of your Favorites will play for about 5 seconds, starting with the most recent. When you see the one you want, press the button once to select it.
To "cue" favorites while spinning: While in Favorites/Adjust, if you start spinning it will stay on that pattern until you stop. The pattern will not change while you are spinning. To advance to the next pattern, stall for about 2 seconds and then spin again. If you wait longer it will continue to adjust.
When you are in Favorites/Adjust*
If your capsules are static: the patterns will automatically cycle through every 5 seconds
If your capsules are spinning (kinetic): your capsule light will hold at the current pattern
When you press the button: it will select the pattern currently displayed and go out of Adjust.
* If you have older firmware (capsule lights before mid-February 2013), favorites behavior is slightly different.
If your capsules are static: the patterns will automatically cycle through every 5 seconds
When you stop spinning: it stays in that pattern for about 5 seconds and then cycles to the next until you select it or resume spinning.
When you start spinning again: it jumps to the next pattern.**
When you press the button: it will select the pattern currently displayed and go out of Adjust.
**The intention with this feature was to enable you to change to the next pattern as quickly as possible. We realized that this can be a little confusing, because it's not intuitive as the mode will change when you start spinning, and you have to know what the next pattern will be.
