Effect playbacks are used to run repeated sets of lighting states, called effects. Each lighting state in
an effect has a set of intensity and attribute levels and is called an effect step. The effect playbacks let
you run effects in a variety of ways to give different chase, build, and random output levels. (Refer to
the Product Specification for number of effect playbacks)
Note: The [FX SEL], [FX DIR], [FX TIME] and [FX LOAD] keys are omitted from 300 Series consoles.
If you are a 300 Series console user and require to use the functions controlled by these keys, use an
external keyboard, in conjunction with the keyboard template at the back of this manual to simulate the
keys, or use Edit Mode

The Current Effect Step
The current effect step is shown in the FX field on the LCD. This is the last step which has been
referenced and can be used in a step selection. All step recording commands act on a single step
which is shown in the command descriptions below. The [+], [-], [THRU], and {THRU ON} keys cannot
be used in a step selection.
The examples shown immediately below are effect step selections that you can use to replace steps
where they appears in full command descriptions.
