Effect Parameters
There are a number of effect parameters that control the speed, size etc of an
effect. These are summarised in the following table:
Parameter
Range
Default
Notes
Speed
- 100 to
+100
20
Both the speed and „direction‟
of a movement effect (eg
Circle) is defined by this
parameter, where –100 is the
fastest speed anticlockwise
and +100 the fastest speed
clockwise.
Size
0 – 100
25
Offset
0 – 100
0
Rotation
0 – 359
0
When applying one of the standard Intensity, Colour, Iris or Focus effects, the
base value of the parameter is automatically changed to 50% to allow the
effect to work correctly. For these effects the size parameter is set to 100% as
the default.
Effect Parameters on the Wheels
When the effect wheel groups are active (ie the EFFECTS LED is lit), the
wheels control the speed, size, offset and rotation parameters. The Effects
parameters are assigned to the control wheels as follows:
Thumb Wheel
First Finger
Wheel
Second Finger
Wheel
Wheel Group
1
Speed
Size
Offset
Wheel Group
2
Speed
Size
Rotation
If you apply different effects to different parameters of the fixtures (eg
Rainbow and Circle) you can use the Speed wheel to control the speed of all
the effects in one go.
At any time you can reload a memory into the Program Window and modify
the speed of all the effects in that memory by selecting the effects wheel
group and moving the Speed wheel.
Recording an Effect
Select a fixture or fixtures. Apply one of the standard effects, then adjust the
effect parameters as required using the control wheels or the effects window.
Press the EFFECTS key to make the MFKs effect selection keys.
Use the PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN keys to select the required page.
Press and hold down the corresponding effect MFK for two seconds. The LED
in the effect MFK is lit when the effect has been recorded.
