• Parameter settings
Start: Point in the transition at which the main pattern is
at 100%
End: Point in the transition at which the sub pattern is at
100%
• A value of 0.00 corresponds to the start of the transition,
and a value of 100.00 corresponds to the end of the
transition.
• A negative Start value signifies that the main and sub
patterns are already mixing when the transition starts.
• An End value of 100.00 or more signifies that the main
and sub patterns are still mixing when the transition
ends.
• If the Start and End values are the same, the main and
sub patterns are interchanged instantaneously at a
specified point in the transition.
• If the End value is less than the Start value, the transition
changes from the sub pattern to the main pattern.
Dust mix
You can apply a diamond dust wipe to a selected pattern.
You can also apply the diamond dust wipe effect to the
pattern resulting from a pattern mix (see page 128).
When the pattern mix function is disabled, enabling dust
mix mixes the main pattern and the diamond dust pattern.
This state is the same as a pattern mix when the diamond
dust pattern is selected for the sub pattern.
Note
When a random/diamond dust wipe (pattern numbers 270
to 274) is selected, the dust mix function is not available.
Main/sub modifier link
When carrying out a pattern mix, it is possible to link the
modifier settings for the main pattern and sub pattern.
There are two type of link mode, as follows.
Full link mode
In this mode, all modifier settings are the same for the main
pattern and sub pattern. Changing the modifier settings for
one pattern automatically changes the settings for the
other.
Semi link mode
Only the parameter settings of the modifiers are linked.
The modifier enable/disable settings are not linked. When
the parameter values of the same modifiers for the main
pattern and sub pattern are different and link mode is
selected, changing the value of the parameter for one
pattern also changes the value of the parameter for the
other pattern to maintain the same difference between the
two.
Note
When executing a wipe transition using a pattern mix, it is
recommended that you set the modifier link function to full
link mode. If the modifier link function is disabled or semi
link mode is selected, the desired image may not be
obtained at the start or end of the transition.
