using the supplied simple math functions along with a host parameter tweekers.
To add a new intensity effect, select the desired Channels and press [S10] - Effects.
If no other effects are running, you will see a single option to Add New Intensity
Effect. (If another effect is already running, double press [S10]) Press [ENTER],
then choose the desired effect from the list:
Once you have selected the effect, the attributes of that effect are displayed on [S1]
through [S4]:
Pressing the corresponding softkey puts the attribute on the command line where
you can type in a new value or press and hold the key to roll in the value. Pressing
[S10] will bank you through pages of effect attributes. Some of the attributes will not
be exposed until you select specific modes, typically determined by encoders to the
left of the attribute.
