Effects
Alternatively, you can vary the fade rate by pressing [FX TIME], selecting {FADE RATE} and using the
Rate Wheel (or Level Wheel on consoles without a rate wheel) to increase or decrease the fade time.
Effect Mode
The Mode property controls how the effect combines with other effects and with the other playbacks
and faders. This property can only be changed from the Effects display in edit mode using the
trackerball to select the field and the level wheel or [+] or [-] keys to change the option. It is initially set
to indHTP.
indHTP
Independent Highest Takes Precedence mode combines the effect with all other output sources on a
highest takes precedence basis. If you use any other output source to set a channel level higher than
the low effect setting for the channel, but lower than the high effect setting for the channel, the channel
will switch between the other output source level and the high effect setting.
LTP
Latest Takes Precedence mode lets other effects, cues, and the Channel Control steal channels from
the effect. When you select a channel, its current state (high or low) is frozen and the channel is
assigned to the Channel Control. Its level then follows the Channel Control (not the effect) until you
reload and restart the effect.
Effect Level
The Level property determines how the effect channel levels are interpreted. This property can only be
changed from the Effects display, and is initially set to NORMAL.
NORMAL
Channels in active steps are set high and channels in inactive steps are set low.
NEGATIVE
Channels in active steps are set low and channels in inactive steps are set high.
NRM NEG (Normal Negative)
Levels start as Normal and then alternate between Negative and Normal for each successive effect
cycle.
NEG NRM (Negative Normal)
Levels start as Negative and then alternate between Normal and Negative for each successive effect
cycle.
RANDOM
Steps are randomly set to any level between the high and low levels.
These options can be set in edit mode using the trackball select the field and the level wheel or [+] or
[-] keys to select the option, or using the command line as shown in the following examples:
