Rate - ETC SmartFade User Manual

RATE allows you to temporarily override and adjust recorded timing. By pressing RATE,
you can apply a percentage multiplier to any recorded time. The percentage ranges from
0% to 999% (with 100% being the recorded time) and is adjusted using the menu dial. For
any rate change, dialing clockwise will speed up the timed effect while counter-clockwise
will slow the timed effect.
Rate adjustments can be removed easily. See
