Rate

Rate is the speed at which an Effect is executed. Rate is parameter and spot specific; in one
Effect different parameters can run at different rates.
Rates can be positive or negative. A negative rate causes the Effect to switch directions.
Example: A circle Effect assigned a Rate of 50 runs clockwise. A circle Effect assigned a
Rate of -50 runs counter clockwise.
The Rate assignment influences the time span of the Duty Cycle (see below).
The default Rate assignment is 200.
The Rate change can be absolute for the parameters in the selected spots.
The Rate change can be "spread" relatively over the selected parameters in the selected
spots. The assignment of the spread depends on the order of the spot selection.
The meter at the side of the display shows the Effect Rate for the selected parameter.
Changing the Rate
"All" modifies the default rate equally for all selected parameters.
"Spd" enters a relative modification for each selected parameter according to the order of
the spot selection.

Modifying the Rate changes the Offset. Locking the Offset protects it when the Rate is
modified. See page 20-13.
