Effect} [2] [Enter].
To stop an effect on a specific channel, press [5] [Fader Control] {Stop Effect} [Enter].
When an effect is stopped, all impact of the effect is removed and the stage output is as though the
effect has never been activated. This behavior is influenced by the exit behavior of the effect. See

Using Rate Override
To collect a playback fader for rate control, press [Fader Control] {Rate} & [Load] for the required
fader. When [Fader Control] {Rate} is pressed without [Load], it always collects the master fader for
rate control. A subset of faders can be collected by pressing and holding [Fader Control] {Rate} while
pressing the [Load] button for the associated faders you would like to add.
Use the rate wheel to adjust the rate dynamically. The default is 100%, which is real time (example: 5
seconds = 5 seconds). Decrease the percentage to slow the cue down. Setting the rate to 0% will
stop the cue. Increase the percentage to speed up the event.
Following are some examples of rate:
A 50% decrease rate applied to a 5 second event will play the cue in 10 seconds.
A 200% increase rate applied to a 5 second event will play the cue in 2.5 seconds.
The top rate adjustment is 2000%. All timing values associated with a cue (including any follow or
hang times) are affected by the rate modification proportionally.
If a cue is complete, any rate adjustment applied affects the cue in the pending file. When that cue is
subsequently activated, the adjusted rate is used to direct timing. Pressing [Fader Control] {Rate}
again will turn rate control off and reset to 100%.
Using Manual Control
There are four types of manual control for playbacks:
Cues can be stored with manual timing. When cues have stored manual timing, the default
behavior of the fader is to control those manual values.
Cues can be captured for manual intensity control only. This is possible only when the asso-
ciated cue has no manual timing values.
Cues can be manually overridden using the {Man Override} & [Load] feature which captures all
parameter transitions.
The fader can be set to manual master mode. See
In each of these cases, follow time counts down from [Go]. The hang time will be kicked off when
the fader reaches full or when the last parameter reaches its end state from timing, whichever comes
last.
Note:
useful displays when using manual control.
Manual Timing Control
Manual timing can be set for any parameter or group of parameters. A fader is then used to control
the progress of a transition.
