Creating and Using Effects 299
Query and Group Effect
You can use {Query} [Effect] [n], {Query} [Effect], and [Group] [Effect] [n] to select the channels
currently running in the selected effect.
Using {Query} will select the channels in numeric order. [Group] will select the channels in the
order that they were originally selected.
{Query} [Effect] will select all channels currently running effects.
Example:
•
[3][1] [+] [2][6] [+] [3][0] [+] [2][7] [+] [2][9] [+] [2][8] [Effect] [1] [Enter]
Using {Query} [Effect] [1] will select the channels currently running effect 1. Using
[Next], the channels will be selected in numeric order starting with channel 26.
Using [Group] [Effect] [1] will select the channels currently running effect 1. However,
pressing [Next], the channels will be selected in the order they were originally selected.
In this example, channel 31 would be first, then channel 26.
Using Offset
You can use the {Offset} softkey to aid in channel selection of an effect. For an explanation of
the offset options, see Offset (on page179) .
•
[Select Channels] {Offset} {Random} [Effect] [1] [Enter]
Replace With
{Replace With} allows you to replace an effect with another one. All overrides will be preserved.
•
[Effect] [1] {Replace With} <Effect> [2] - all channels that were running effect 1 will now
be running effect 2.
Deleting an Effect
To delete an effect, press [Delete] [Effect] [n] [Enter] [Enter]. If you delete one of the default
effects (901 through 918), that effect will return to its default values.
Recording an Effect to a Preset
Effects can be stored in a preset, and those presets can be used to create submasters and cues.
However, the effect's data is only copied to the submaster or cue, it is no longer referenced
through the preset.
For more information, see Effects In Presets (on page206) .
To apply an existing effect, press:
•
[Select Channels] [Effect] [x] [Enter]
Recording to a preset, press:
•
[Record] {Preset} [x] {Plus FX} [Enter]
Pressing [Effect] after [Record] [Preset] [x] will append {Plus FX} to the command line.
•
[Record] [Preset] [x] [Effects] [Enter]
