6. Working with Effects
Effect (FX) Basics
You can use effects to create a mathematical function that is used to alter attribute values in a repeating fashion.
Effects created on the 500ML control console are stored into Cues.
Effects are applied to attributes using effect rows within an effect table that apply mathematical functions (such as a
sine- or cosine wave) to values against time. Each row in the effect programmer has five effect attributes: Type, Size,
Speed, Offset, and Duty Cycle.
You may apply effects by using the integrated Effects (FX) Programmer.
