Create an effect:
Step 1: Press [Blind] . The Blind display defaults to cues.
Step 2: Press <Cue> [ x ] to select cue [x]. If you want to record an effect directly to a
submaster, press [Sub] [ x ] , where [x] is the submaster you want to record.
Step 3: Press [Type] [3] [Enter] to set the effect type. The blind effect display will appear
on the screen and the prompt area and keypad corner will request that you enter
a step number.
Step 4: Press <S1 - Step> [1] [Enter] to create step 1 and move to the contents column.
You can also create a range of steps using the [Thru] key.
Step 5: Select channels:
•
Select channels one at a time, or with the [Thru] , [And] and [Except] keys.
• Select groups using the [Group] key. You can also select channels recorded
in cues and submasters using [Group] [Cue] and [Group] [Sub] . When you
use grouped channels in an effect step, the channels and levels recorded in
the group are entered in the step, but there is no reference to the group. If
the group changes, the effect step will not.
• Select focus points using the [Focus Point] key. When you place a focus
point in an effect step, it does create a reference to that focus point. If levels
change in the referenced focus point, the effect will play back those changes.
Step 6: Press [S8 - Add Channels] to place selected channels into selected steps.
Step 7: Press [At] [ y ] to assign level [y] to selected channels. You can set direct levels
for any channel, or set a level by reference to a focus point.
Step 8: Repeat steps 4 through 6 for additional steps or ranges of steps.
Step 9: Press [Record] [Enter] to record the effect.
