Effects
[FX GO] starts the current playback if there is an effect loaded on it.
[FX] # [PB] # [FX GO] loads the specified (or current) effect onto the specified playback and starts it.
[FX] [1] [FX GO] All Modes
If effect 1 is already loaded, this selects that playback then starts it. Otherwise it selects the first
unloaded Playback (if any), loads it with effect 1 (if recorded) and starts it.
[FX] [PB] [2] [FX GO] All Modes
Loads the current effect onto playback 2 and starts it.
[FX] [1] [PB] [2] [FX GO] All Modes
Loads effect 1 onto playback 2 and starts it.
Effects can also be run from cues (refer to Assigning an Effect in Cues and X Playbacks) or from
submasters (see Assigning Effects and Macros in 'Submasters').
Pausing an Effect
An effect can be paused; this stops any more steps running but it does not stop any fade in or fade out
caused by [FX GO], and does not unload the effect. The step number in the Effects window will remain
fixed while the effect is paused. This command is ignored if the playback has not been started or has
nothing loaded on it. Paused effects are shown by flashing yellow text for the FX Step field.
Press [FX PAUSE] to pause a running effect. Press [FX PAUSE] again to resume running the effect.
[FX] # [PB] # [FX PAUSE] pauses the specified playback.
[FX] [1] [FX PAUSE] All Modes
If effect 1 is already loaded, selects that playback then pauses or restarts it. If effect 1 has never been
started and paused, this command is ignored. If effect 1 is not loaded, selects the first unloaded
playback (if any) and loads it with effect 1 (if recorded).
[FX] [PB] [2] [FX PAUSE] All Modes
If playback 2 is loaded, selects the playback and then pauses or restarts it. If the playback is not
loaded, loads the current effect onto the playback.
[FX] [1] [PB] [2] [FX PAUSE] All Modes
If effect 1 is loaded on playback 2, selects then pauses or releases it. If effect 1 is not loaded on
playback 2, selects playback 2 and loads it with effect 1 (if recorded).
Stepping an Effect
You can step through an effect manually by setting the Step Control field in the Effects display to
MANUAL and then loading the effect.
To step the effect to the next step, make sure the desired playback is the current playback and press
[FX STEP] each time you want to move to the next step
