Creating and Using Effects 301
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:
•
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65)
•
Parameters - you can specify certain parameters that will be affected by the global effects
fader.See Channel and Parameter Filters on Faders (on page65)
•
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.
Note: If no filters have been applied, the fader will master all effects.
Fader Options
The following fader options are available for a global effects fader:
•
Effect Rate - fader centers to home. It controls the rate of any running effects (same
behavior as using rate via the Effect Status Display). Min is 0, and Max is 200.
•
Effect Size - similar to Effect Rate but for effect size. Min is 0, and Max is 200.
•
Fader Disabled - no action is assigned to the fader.
•
Effect Master - masters the entry/ exit mode of the effects (size, rate or both).
