Effects 
Introduction 
The Solution & Solution XL desk provides a powerful effects generator with a 
number of standard effects. By adjusting the size, speed and offset values, a 
wide  range of  movement  and  other effects  can  be generated  quickly  and 
easily. 
Automatic  Effects  -  In  Setup,  there  is  an  option  to  generate  a  set  of 
automatic palettes  based  on the fixture types in the schedule. The desk 
generates  a  number  of  intensity,  colour,  beamshape  and  position  effects  – 
see later for details. 
User  Defined  Effects  -  In  addition  to  the  Automatic  effects,  you  can  also 
create your own effects by applying standard effects to fixtures, adjusting the 
effect parameters and then saving as a new effect.

programmed in the effect palette (I = Intensity, C = Colour, B = Beamshape, P 
= Position, E = Effects) and name, if defined. For example:
