14.2.4 Using Effect Palettes in Programming
In the Programmer or editor, you can apply an effect by selecting it from the Effect Directory.
The effect will be applied to the current fixture selection, providing that it contains parameter
information for the selected fixtures. An iris step effect cannot therefore be applied to a
fixture that has no iris function. By default, predefined effect palettes are direct; see Direct
Palettes.
For example:
1. Open + Effe ct : open the Effect Dir ector y window.
2. 1 Thru 5 : select the fixtures.
3. [Effect 1] : select the effect from the Effect Director y window.
Or, using the command line:
1. 1 Thru 5 Effect 1 Enter
14.2.5 Editing Effect Palettes
You can edit an effect palette by opening it in an editor window; you can then edit its contents
in the same way as you edit values in any editor. See Building Table Effects in Editors.
To open an effect in an editor:
1. Open + Effe ct : open the Effect Directory.
2. Open + [Effect 1] : open the editor for [Effect 1].
You can select the editor view (Table, Size, Rate, Offset, L eng th, N Shot) you wish to
edit in. Also ensure that the editor is active with its Edit button selected.
You can also open an effects palette with the command line. For example:
Effect 1 Open
14.2.6 Deleting Effect Palettes

1. Effect 1 De lete : deletes Effect Palette 1.
