About Fan
Fan provides the ability to spread parameter and timing values in a range across a channel selection
set and have those values be evenly spaced. Fan is applied by channel selection or group order. By
default, fan operation is from the start channel.
When {Fan} is pressed after a channel selection, the softkeys will repaint to the following fan styles:
{Center} - The middle channel in the order is set as the start and will remain unchanged, and
the first and last channels will change in different directions. The level wheel will decrease the
lower number channels and increase the higher number channels. {Center} only affects the
level wheel.
{Reverse} - The selected channel order is reversed before applying the fan.
{Mirror Out} - The middle channel in the selected order is used as the starting channel and the
first and last channels in the order are the end channels.
{Repeat} - The number of channels that are fanned before the pattern is repeated.
{Cluster} - The channels are put into collections, which contains channels with all of the same
value.
{Random} - The selected channels are put in a random order before fan is applied.
Fanning Parameter Data
Fan values can be adjusted with either an encoder or via the keypad. To adjust the fan values with an
encoder, select the required channels and provide a baseline, if necessary, followed by {Fan}.
If no value is entered, the current values will be used. When using encoders to adjust fan, it is not
necessary to specify the parameter to be fanned. This is determined by the encoder used.
[1] [Thru] [5] {Fan} [Enter] - selects the channels 1 through 5 and puts encoders and level wheel
into fan mode.
[1] [Thru] [5] [At] [5] <0> {Fan} [Enter] - selects the channels 1 through 5, sets a start level of
50% and puts encoders and level wheel into fan mode.
[1] [Thru] [5] {Fan} {Mirror} [Enter] - selects the channels 1 through 5 and puts encoders and
level wheel into fan mode with mirror style.
Fan From the Command Line
A level or time command that uses [Thru] or a list of references is a command line fan command.
Note:
To adjust the fan values from the command line:
[1] [Thru] [5] [At] [1] <0> [Thru] [5] <0> [Enter] - sets channel 1 to 10%, 2 to 20%, 3 to 30%,
4 to 40%, and 5 to 50%. This is the default fan adjustment and the {Fan} command is not
necessary.

[5] [Thru] [1][0] [At] [1][0] [Thru] [3][0] {Fan} {Mirror Out} [Enter] - sets channel 1 to
30%, 2 to 20%, 3 to 10%, 4 to 20%, and 5 to 30%.
[1] [Thru] [1][2] [At] [5][0] [Thru] [7][0] {Fan} {Repeat} [3] [Enter] - sets channels 1,4,7,
and 10 at 50%, 2,5,8, and 11 at 60%, and 3,6,9, and 12 at 70%.
[1] [Thru] [1][2] [At] [5][0] [Thru] [8][0] {Fan} {Cluster} [4] [Enter] - sets channels 1
through 3 at 50%, 4 through 6 at 60%, 7 through 9 at 70%, 10 through 12 at 80%.
The {Fan} key is not necessary unless a fan style other than the default is needed.
