Example:
To edit an effect, select the effect using the command line or select it directly
from the CIA.
•
[Effect] [9] [0] [2] [Enter]
The encoder screen and softkeys will repaint so that they now control the five
attributes in the columns of the effect status display:
•
Rate - modifies cycle time. Default is 100% and can be modified from
0%-2000%.
•
Size - modifies scale. Default is 100% and can be modified from 0%-
2000%.
•
Shape (Vertical or Horizontal as defined by the {Mode} button) - Default
is 100% and can be modified from 0%-2000%.
•
Axis - Default is 0° and can be modified by +/- 180°.
Use the encoders or softkeys to adjust the effects while watching the effect
on stage.
Example:
Effect 1 is a step effect with the On State set to 50 and the Off State set to 10.
If Size is set to 50, the On State will be set to 50% of 50 and the Off State will
be 50% of 10. So On would be 25 and Off would be 5.
The effect itself can be accessed for editing from this display by pressing {Edit} - any changes
made directly in the effect status display are made to the effect itself and must be stored. Cue
level overrides also must be stored or updated to the required cue, but do not impact the basic
effect itself.
Effect attributes modified in the effect status display can be reset to their previous values using
the softkeys:
•
{Rate} [Enter] - resets the rate to the previous value.
The properties of an effect that can be modified at a cue or sub level will display at the bottom
of the Effect Status display and in the
Effect Channel Display (on the facing page)
(which is
access by pressing [Shift] & [Effect]). Click on a column to make changes from a list of
available options.
Several color indicators are used in the Effect Status Display. Those colors and their meanings
are:
•
Grey - property is drawn directly from the effect.
•
Red - property has been manually modified but not stored.
•
Blue - property is an override to the saved effect.
•
Magenta - property is tracking from a previous cue.
