A submaster can be configured to be an effect submaster. You can configure at the same time
as you record the submaster. Before you hit [Enter], hit the softkey for {Properties} to open the
submaster properties display in the CIA. Select Effect as the mode. For more information, see
Submaster Properties (on page409) .
Running an Effect from a Submaster
The way effects are played back from a submaster depends on its mode, and whether the
submaster is set to be a proportional fader or an intensity master.
Below is an example of four different submasters, in different modes, with the same effect
stored to them.
Effect on an Additive/ Proportional Submaster
The submaster contains the intensity, pan/tilt data, along with the effect. Pressing the bump
button starts the effect. The fader controls values not affected by the effect. Pressing the
bump button again stops the effect.
Effect on an Additive/ Intensity Master Submaster
Pressing the bump button marks the lights, and starts the effect. The fader brings up any
intensities stored in the submaster. Pressing the bump button again stops the effect.
Effect on an Effect/ Proportional Submaster
Pressing the bump button starts the effect. The fader controls the rate and/ or size based on
the effect’s entry behavior. Pressing the bump button again stops the effect.
Effect on an Effect/ Intensity Master Submaster
Pressing the bump button starts the effect. The fader controls the rate and/ or size based on
the effect’s entry behavior. Pressing the bump button again stops the effect.
In other words, there is no difference between a proportional fader and an intensity master
when the submaster is configured to be an effect submaster.
Global Effects Fader
A fader can be mapped as global effects in the fader configuration display, [Tab] [3][6]. This
fader type is used to master all effects or specific effects based off of the current filtering
applied to the fader.
Note: You can use multiple global effects faders.
The following filters can be applied to effects running on:
•
Cue lists - you can specify certain cue lists or select {All} or {None}. Not available on
Element 2.
•
Submasters - you can specify certain submasters or select {All} or {None}.
•
Channels - you can specify certain channels that will be affected by the global effects
fader.See Channel and Parameter Filters on Faders (on page133)
•
Parameters - you can specify certain parameters that will be affected by the global
effects fader.See Channel and Parameter Filters on Faders (on page133)
•
Effects - you can specify certain effects or select {All} or {None}.
•
Manual - when on, the global effects fader will only affect manually run effects. By
default, this is off.
