Consider a pulse 4 step FX Waveform on 4 heads:
Forward ___^ __^_ _^__ ^___
Backward ^___ _^__ __^_ ___^
Invert ^^^_ ^^_^ ^_^^ _^^^
For FX waveforms that have more than one attribute, the invert is applied only to first attribute of the FX
waveform. This ensures a simple mirror of movement FX such as circles etc...
8.1.7 Pulse Width
The pulse, ramp, dimmer chase and iris chase have Pulse Width on Encoder C. This enables the width of
the FX to be altered without having to select different FX (e.g. pulse 2 step, pulse 3 step etc...)
When set to 50% it is equivalent to a pulse 2 step. When set to close to 0% the pulse or ramp is very
narrow, whilst at close to 100% the pulse or ramp is very wide.
8.1.8 FX fade times
FX can be configured to fade in and out rather than snapping in and out. The fade times are configured in
the View Times view of the Programmer Window and the Cue Window. In older versions of software
they were available in the View FX view of these windows (use the PAGE RIGHT button to move to the
appropriate columns).
8.1.9 Initial spreads
If you are running multiple FX from within a Cue then you may wish to select an initial spread between
the different FX. Configure this from the Programmer Window and the Cue Window (use the PAGE
RIGHT button to move to the appropriate columns). Both a coarse and a fine spread can be configured.
