Effects
In/Dwell/Out The in, dwell, and out times for the step. The in time is the time from step start until the
step is at its high setting. The dwell time is the time the step stays at its high setting. The out time is the
time from the end of the dwell time until the step is back at its low setting.
Att The time it takes to change attribute levels once the step has started.
Low/High The low and high settings for the step. The high setting is the level that channels go to when
a step is active with the Level field set to NORMAL.
Scaling Not implemented at this time.
Creating a New Effect
To switch to the Effect display and create a new effect or step, press [FX] # [*] where # is an
unused effect or step number. To create a new effect or step while you are in the Effect display, press
[FX] # [*] where # is an unused effect or step number. You will be warned that you are creating a new
item. Press [*] again to create the new effect or step, or [CLR] or [UNDO] to cancel the command. If
this is a new effect and you did not specify a step, step 1 is created automatically. The cursor is on the
newly created step.
Note: The display key is at the top of the console. Do not confuse it with the lower [FX] key.
Assigning Fade Times to Effects
fx# [TIME] # [*] changes the fade time of the specified effect without changing recorded levels. If the
effect doesn’t exist, this command creates a new effect with no levels but with the specified fade times.
You do not get an over-record warning with this command if the effect exists. If you only enter one
number for time, it is used for both the up and down fade times. To enter separate up and down fade
times, use [/] to separate the two numbers. The first number becomes the up fade time and the second
number becomes the down fade time.
[FX] [1] [TIME] [*] All Modes
Resets effect 1 fade time to the non-split default effect time in the Setup display FX|Up/
Down field.
[FX] [1] [TIME] [4] [*] All Modes
Changes effect 1 up and down fade times to 4 seconds without changing any levels.
[FX] [1] [TIME] [4] [/] [2] [*] All Modes
