Synergy 100 MD Operator’s Manual (v7.2 MD-S100) Pattern and Effects Control • 6–5
The lower Effects Control Group provides two buttons and three “end-stop” knobs that modify the
selected pattern.
• The
BORDER
knob allows you to adjust pattern borders, from no border to full-screen
borders on all wipe patterns, with the exception of pattern number 111, which does not
accept a border. Refer to the section “
Selecting Wipes ” on page 6–7 for information on
how to access additional patterns.
~ Turning the knob clockwise increases border width.
~ Turning the knob counter-clockwise decreases border width.
• The
SOFT
knob allows you to adjust pattern edge softness from hard-edge to full
soft-edge on all patterns, with the exception of pattern number 111, which does not allow
edge softness. Refer to the section “
Selecting Wipes ” on page 6–7 for information on
how to access additional patterns.
~ Turning the knob clockwise increases edge softness.
~ Turning the knob counter-clockwise decreases edge softness.
• When the
ASPECT
button is lit, the adjacent knob can be used to adjust the aspect ratio
of selected patterns.
~ Turning the knob clockwise increases the pattern’s vertical aspect ratio, and, at the
same time, reduces the horizontal aspect ratio.
~ Turning the knob counter-clockwise increases the pattern’s horizontal aspect ratio,
and, at the same time, reduces the vertical aspect ratio.
• The
ASPECT
button enables the use of the adjacent knob.
~ When the button is on, patterns with both horizontal and vertical angles to their
edges can have their aspect ratios adjusted. Circles can be adjusted into ovals,
squares into rectangles, etc.
~ When the button is off, all aspect ratio adjustment is removed and the pattern returns
to its default shape.
Note the following points regarding the
ASPECT
button:
• If you adjust the aspect ratio of one pattern, then select another pattern that can not have
its aspect adjusted, the
ASPECT
light will stay on until it is turned off manually by
pressing the button.
• The
ROTATE
button enables the use of the positioner as a wipe pattern modifier.
~ When the button is on, certain patterns can be rotated a full 360 degrees.
~ When the button is off, all rotation is removed and the pattern returns to its default
position.
Important Because the electrical position of an End-stop Knob can be
overwritten by recalling a memory register, the electrical knob position
may not match the knob’s current physical position. In this case, the
knob can still be adjusted but you may not have the full adjustment
range available.
Operating
Tip
To fully re-synchronize the physical-to-electrical position of an
End-stop Knob , turn the knob fully clockwise, then fully
counter-clockwise. Full-range adjustments can now be made.
