Recording Effects
Programming an effect palette is similar to recording other palettes.
Set up the fixture outputs as required, ensuring that the correct fixture parameters and/or
effect parameters are tagged (see note). A common method of recording an effect is to
apply one of the standard effects, adjust the affect parameters as required using the
wheels or Effect Window and then record this as a new effect palette.
Enter the following command:
RECORD EFFECTS N ENTER (N = effect palette number).
If you wish to record other attributes (eg Colour), these should be selected on the Record
Options Window on the touch screen before pressing the ENTER key.
Note - Tagging – Values and Effects
For each fixture parameter there are two tag states that are recorded - one for the
parameter value, and one for the set of effects parameters. Therefore, a single fixture
parameter may have none, one or both tag states set allowing for nothing tagged, value
only tagged, effect parameters only tagged and both tagged. This allows you to record an
effect with or without a base value for the corresponding fixture parameter.
Naming Effects
Effects can be named, either as a separate operation or as part of the recording process
by entering one of the following commands:
EFFECTS N SET
SET EFFECTS N ENTER
RECORD EFFECTS N SET
Type in the name using the external keyboard and then press ENTER to complete.
Applying Effects
To apply an effect (either a standard effect or a user defined effect) select a fixture or
group of fixtures and then enter the following command:
EFFECTS N ENTER
If any of the selected fixtures are not actually programmed in the applied effect palette, but
there are one or more fixtures of the same type that are programmed, the fixture will use
the values programmed for the first fixture of the same type.
