Fanning Values (spreading values across different fixtures)
Fanning is a very useful function used to spread values across a range of fixtures.
Fanning of values may be applied to any fixture attribute, and to most effect attributes.
To activate fanning of attributes, press the [Fan] key on the consoles faceplate. The Encoder Labels will
add "Fan" to the encoder labels to indicate the fan functions status.
The fan function will remain active until you press the button again. However, if you keep holding the
[Fan] button for a longer amount of time, the Fan-Function will only be turned on while you keep
pressing its button.
Bear in mind that the fixture selection order is important when fanning. For more information, please see
"Selection Order".
