• Alternate . . . . . . . . When you add the Alternate attribute, the effect will alternate
between positive and negative playback. The first pass will play
back at the positive or negative setting of the effect, and then begin
to alternate in each subsequent pass through the steps.
• Reverse . . . . . . . . A Reverse effect runs its steps from last to first.
• Bounce . . . . . . . . . A bounce effect funs in one direction on the first pass, and then
back in the opposite direction on the next pass. The direction it
runs first depends on whether the reverse attribute has been set.
• Build . . . . . . . . . . . A Build effect starts with all channels at their low level in a positive
effect, or at their high level in a negative effect. As each step fires,
it does not fade out. Each subsequent step builds on the last one
until all steps are at their high level in a positive effect or low level
in a negative effect. All steps then fade out together and the
sequence starts again.
N o t e :
The above attributes can all be assigned to an effect at the same time or in any
combination. This means you can create a Negative Alternate Reverse Bounce Build
effect if you like.
• Random . . . . . . . . As soon as you set an effect to Random, all other attributes are
removed except for Positive or Negative. A random effect plays
back its steps in random order. Step timing is not affected.
