About effects
Effects are continuously running fades of parameter levels, spread among a number of fixtures.
Effects on the pan and tilt parameters can be used, for example, to create circles and figure 8s.
Effects running on color parameters can be used to create a rainbow effect. The use of effects is as
unlimited as your imagination.
Effects are applied to a parameter like any other value. They can be applied at any time during the
programming sequence and stored in scenes, chase steps, and cues.
Effect attributes
Effect attributes are programmed and modified in the Effect screen.
