with the effect running.
[2][6]<Effect><1>{Rate}[6][Enter] - to change the rate for just channel 26. With the effect running,
the console will default to the running effect number. You may need to select the effect first ([Effect]
[n] [Enter]). This will open the effect status display, and you will have access to the effect softkeys.
In the effect status display, an "+" will display by any effect property that has a channel level over-
ride.
You can then store these channel overrides in a cue by using [Record] or [Update].
Step Effects
In step effects, each step contains an on-state and an off-state. The on-state is the action the chan-
nels in the step should take when the step is active. The off -state is the action the channels in the
step should take when the step is not active. Step effects are a quick and easy way to build simple
chases.
When building step effects, channels must be defined for each step. This is different from absolute
and relative effects.
Once complete, you may play back the effect on all channels embedded in it by pressing [Recall
From] [Effect] [x] [Enter]. Or you may specify only certain channels to play back from the embedded
channel list.
A step effect is displayed in a chart with the following columns:
Step - indicates the step numbers.
Channels - displays the channel(s) in the step.
Param - displays the parameter (if other than intensity) controlled by the step.
Step Time - time from triggering the associated step to triggering the next step.
In Time - the length of time for the channels to fade to the "on-state".
Dwell Time - the length of time the step remains in an "on-state".
Decay Time - the length of time it takes for the channels to fade to the "off-state".
On State - the parameter level (in%), or referenced data to be used for the on-state.
Off State - the parameter level (in%) or referenced data to be used for the steps off-state. If
you want the "off-state" to be the background state from playback, select the column and
press [At] [Enter].
All times are entered from the keypad in minutes and seconds, tenths and hundredths.
