EFFECTS: A DEFINITION

Effects are manual control functions that can be applied to a channel parameter and then included in

cues or submasters. Cues can contain both standard transitions for some channels and parameters and

effects for the same or other channels and parameters.

A single channel parameter cannot have more than one effect applied at any time. With the exception

of intensity if the effects are being played back from submasters. However, a channel may have one

effect running on one parameter and another effect running on a different parameter.

Effects have user defined properties and attributes which are applied to the effects whenever they are

used in cues or subs. Effects also have level overrides, which allow you to use an effect in multiple

locations, and modify its size, shape or rate in individual recordings. An showfile can accommodate

building up to 1,000 total effects, with the ability to number them to the 1.xx.

Within the console, effects are broken up into three fundamental behavior types:

• Step

• Absolute

• Relative effects.

STEP BASED EFFECTS:

In step effects, each step contains an on-state and an off-state. The on-

state is the action the channels in the step should take when the step is

active. The off-state is the action the channels in the step should take

when the step is not active. Step effects are a quick and easy way to build

simple chases.

ABSOLUTE EFFECTS:

Absolute effects are a listing of sequential actions that channels are to

take. They differ from step effects in that there is no on/off state, rather

they define progressive behavior from one action, to the next, to the

next, and so on. Types of actions include intensity levels, palettes, and

presets A good example of this is using multiple color palettes to create a

rainbow chase.

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,

color, and linear. Each of the these effect types have a graphic editor

designed specifically for the parameters involved.
