Attribute Fade Time
The attribute fade time controls the time it takes to change fixture attributes if there is a change on the
same fixture between two steps of an effect. Attribute fade time can be “default” (black text) or any
value between 0.01 and 5 minutes, and is initially set to the value of the FX Up/Down field of the
Default Times of the User Setup Screen. Times below one minute can be specified hundredths of a
minute.
This field can be set using the rollball or mouse to select the field and the level wheel or [+] or [-] keys
to select the option. Alternatively, the field can be set using the command line as shown in the
following examples:
[FX] [1] [.] [2] [@ATT] [TIME] [*]
Sets FX 1 overall attribute fade in time for step 2 to 0s
[FX] [1] [.] [2] [@ATT] [TIME] [3] [*]
Sets FX 1 overall attribute fade in time for step 2 to 3s
Low and High Scaling
Effect steps are either high or low. The actual levels represented by high and low states are controlled
by the Level and Low/ High Scaling fields and by the channel levels set in the effect.
The Low and High Scaling properties for steps scale the channel levels set in each step. These
numbers can be “default” (black text) or a percentage (0-100), and modify all channel levels in the
specified step.
