FFECTS
The Maxxyz console utilizes a very powerful effects package. With Maxxyz effects you can use
either pre-programmed shapes or work on an attribute-by-attribute level to design your own.
Effects are created using the programmer keys on the right of the console. While going through
this section of the manual, it will be quite useful to be at the console. Some terms and concepts
that might not be familiar to you will be much easier to grasp if you can follow along with your
console.
Please note: Maxxyz handles all attributes the same with the exception of pan and tilt. Pan and
tilt receive a special treatment when the "PT Comb" (pan/tilt combine) button in the programmer
touch screen is selected. This manual will cover "PT Comb" at the end of this section. Please
confirm that "PT Comb" is not highlighted for the first part of this section.

The effects controls are limited to the 4 right trackbelts and 2 of the 5 right LCD keys in the
programmer controls. The two LCD keys are:
R E
E G U L A R F F E C T
This loads the control elements for the motion of the attribute being controlled by the effect. The
elements are: Swing, Speed, and Mode.
Note that the attribute that will be affected by the Regular Effect control elements is intensity. This
is determined by the attribute selection using the right 5 LCD keys in the programmer control. By
selecting the "Dim Focus" LCD and then pressing the hard key directly below the intensity
column in the touch screen, intensity is selected as the attribute to be affected by the Regular
Effect elements. Note that the active attribute hard key has a blue LED. That LED will be lit on the
active attribute.
