Effect Parameters on the Wheels
When the effect wheel groups are active (ie the EFFECTS LED is lit), the effect
parameters are assigned to the control wheels as follows:
Thumb Wheel First Finger Wheel Second Finger Wheel
Wheel Group 1
Speed Size Offset
Wheel Group 2
Speed Size Rotation
If you apply different effects to different parameters of the fixtures (e.g. Rainbow and
Circle) you can use the Speed wheel to control the speed of all the effects in one go.
At any time you can reload the cue into the Program Window and modify the speed of all
the effects in that cue by selecting the effects wheel group and moving the Speed wheel.
Note – Rotation
Rotation cannot be done on a per parameter basis, and can only be applied to the Pan
and Tilt parameters together. Therefore the Rotation parameter can be adjusted via the
control wheel, but is not displayed in the Effects Window.
Applying Effects
When applying one of the standard Intensity, Colour, Iris or Focus effects, the base value
of the parameter is automatically changed to 50% to allow the effect to work correctly. For
these effects the size parameter is set to 100% as the default.
Apart from the effects specified above the default values of the effect parameters for the
standard effects are Speed = 25, Size = 20, Offset = 0, Rotation = 0.
Automatic fanning of offset or any other effect parameter across fixtures is not done.
Should fanning of an effect parameter be required, hold down the SHIFT key and use the
control wheel to apply the selected fan function onto the wheels in the same manner as
fanning any other parameter value.
Pressing the BLIND key twice synchronises the effects while programming.
