Delaying Effects
A delay can be placed on an effect in a cue or submaster by using the syntax [Effect] [n]
[Delay] [n] [Enter]. [Effect] [n] [Delay] [Enter] removes the delay.
Note:
If an effect delay is set in live, the cue or submaster must be recorded to
include the delay.
The Effect Status display has a delay column to show when a delay has been applied to an
effect. When an effect is in delay mode, the column will display the countdown for the delay.
When an effect is delayed, a “*” will display by the effect number in the playback status
display FX column.
Effects Variables
Eos v3.0.0 introduced variables for StepBased and Absolute effects, which give additional
options for altering effects on the fly.
Using Variables in Effects
First, insert one or more variables into a StepBased or Absolute effect using the {Variable}
softkey. Available fields are Timing, On State, and Off State for StepBased effects, and Level
and Timing for Absolute. A maximum of ten variables can be used.
Variables can be substituted for any number in an effect, including for relative timing, and to
define the number of a target, such as a Color Palette. Variables can also be used more than
once in the same effect.
Variables need to be defined before the effect can be run. This can be done in the Effects
editor by selecting the Attributes field.
