How to Fire Multiple Modules at the Same Time

With the IGNITE system, you can fire multiple modules together, either through an automated show or directly from the app in Free-Shoot mode. Each module’s assigned color makes it easy to see which ones you’re firing, keeping the whole process simple, clear, and fun.

Firing Multiple Cues in an Automated Show

IGNITE Show Designer lets you design your fireworks show with precision, giving you full control over timing and allowing multiple modules to fire simultaneously.

Step 1: Launch IGNITE Show Designer

Using Google Chrome, go to designer.ignitefiringsystems.com and log in with your Google or Apple account. Make sure you use the same account as in the IGNITE App.

Step 2: Select your show

Once logged in, click My Shows from the menu on the left side. This opens a list where you can select your show title and click Open to access the show you'd like to edit. Or, create a new show. For more on making a show in IGNITE Show Designer check out: How to Create a Show in Show Designer

Tip:

Step 3: Create a group of events

To fire multiple modules at once, create an event for each module color under the same event time. When the cue is triggered, all assigned modules will fire together.

In this example, all six modules will fire simultaneously when the show reaches the 1.5 s mark.

Firing Multiple Cues in Free-Shoot

When manually firing from the Free-Shoot screen, you can choose to fire multiple modules at once. This feature makes firing more flexible and keeps track of which cues you’ve already fired—even after switching back to individual shots.

Step 1: Navigate to Free-Shoot

Open the Free-Shoot screen to manually fire your show. For more details on manual firing, see How to Use IGNITE Free-Shoot.

Step 2: Open the multi-module screen

Once you’ve checked your igniters and are ready to fire, tap the red button with the white plus symbol (+) in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Step 3: Select cues and modules to fire

From this screen, check off which modules you want to fire from and select the cue from the dropdown next to each color. You can also view cue and module statuses, as well as any firework names you’ve assigned to your cues.

In this example, cue 1 on the teal module has been fired, the green module is offline, and the yellow module is ready to fire cue 1, which has a firework assigned.

Step 4: Fire away!

Once your cues are selected, tap Fire Cues. All selected modules will fire their chosen cues simultaneously.

Tip:

As long as you’ve checked igniters for continuity before firing, the app will automatically line up the next available cues on each module. This lets you fire multiple modules continuously without reselecting modules and cues each time.
