Note that any effect is relative to its attributes base level. It will vary the value of the attribute to either side of its base
level determined by either the current output, or the base value that is set in the programmer. You may combine any
effect types applied to any fixture attribute.
Effects consist of a mathematical form, applied to a fixture attribute of your choice, such as a Sine-Wave or a Cosine-
Wave or a Ramp. For the different types of forms, please see ""Type" Effect Attribute"
The Effects (FX) Programmer
To create an effect, open the effects programmer by pressing any of the attribute group keys ([I], [F], [C], or [B]). The
Programmer Window will be shown. Now, click on the button that reads FX Effect as illustrated in
Figure
175.
Figure 175: Programmer - FX Programmer
All changes in the effects programmer will be applied to the selected fixtures only, including modification and the
creation and deletion of effects.
Effects will either use the Programmer Value as a "Base" Value, or if no programmer value is set for an attribute that
is being modified by an effect, the effect will use the current value determined by the playback (during playback time)
as the base value for the given effect.
For demonstration purposes, select the fixtures you would like to be included in the effects we are about to create. In
this case, select Fixture 501 through 512.

Listed below are all supported different effects shapes and forms:
• Sine Wave
• Cosine Wave
• Half Sine Wave
• Linear
• Ramp Up
• Ramp Down
• Jump
"Size" Effect Attribute
The effect size determines the size of the effect, relative to the base point. The base point is always at the center of the
selected waveform with the size defining how large it is. The effects size is given in percent. As an example:
