rules of HTP. But, for example, if you were to have three separate effects running on three separate
effects submasters and you try to record that into one cue, the cue will only run the effects that
were currently at the highest level at the moment of the record.
Relative Effects
A relative effect is an offset from the current state of a channel parameter. There are three different
types of relative effects: Focus Effects (below), Color Effects (below) , and Linear Effects (on the
facing page). Each of the these effect types have a graphic editor designed specifically for the para-
meters involved.
Relative effects have many of the same properties and attributes as step-based and absolute effects.
Eos is preprogrammed with 16 relative effects which represent some of the most commonly used
patterns and parameters. These are automatically visible in the effects list and can be manipulated
using the encoders to conform to your needs. You may also custom build relative effects.
Note: As you learn to use the effects editor with relative effects, it is recommended that
you experiment with the preprogrammed effects until you understand the fundamentals
and how effects can be altered.
Focus Effects
Focus effects are designed to impact a channel’s pan and tilt parameters. These are represented in
the horizontal and vertical axes of the graph in the effects editor. They can be created from live or
blind and the properties can be set in the effects editor as any other effect (see Effects Editor (on
page333)).
New focus effects default to a circle. You can clear this and draw your own shape by pressing {Edit}>
{Clear} and drawing on the graph with your finger or the mouse. Press {Apply} when you are done.
Other pre-made focus effects can be modified in the same manner. The green arrow indicates
default direction of motion, which can be modified in attributes.
When adjusting the form of a focus effect, you can hold down [Shift] while using the horizontal
encoder to change the vertical form.
Color Effects
Color effects impact only color parameters. Hue and saturation offsets can be used which are rep-
resented in the horizontal and vertical axes of the graph in the effects editor. The {Parameters} key
within a color effect displays the various color mechanisms used in any patched channels.
