For example: You select Fixture 501 and set the Intensity level to 50%. Now you'd apply a simple effect sine
waveform to the intensity attribute and set the effect size to 50. The resulting effect will be alternating between 25%
intensity and 75% intensity, since the size is 50% around the base value that is set to 50%.
When combining effects, adjusting specific attributes' effect sizes may massively change the look of the effect on
stage. For example, a circle effect comprising of a sine wave on the pan and cosine form on the tilt attribute can be
modified to look like an ellipse by changing the size of either pan or tilt.

"Speed" Effect Attribute
The speed effect attribute defines how fast one complete cycle of the effect will be - for each individual fixture. Its
format is CPM, which means Cycles per minute and could well be translated to BPM, Beats per minute.
Adjusting the effect speed increases or decreases the number of cycles it completes per minute. When combining
effects on different attributes, you can use the rate attribute to build a specific look. For example, if you create an
effect where a fixture performs a up and down movement on the tilt - moving up during the first cycle of the effect,
and down on the second, then the effect on the intensity parameter would need to be half of the speed on the tilt
parameters to only have the fixture go out when it is changing directions of the movement.
