Duration/Cycle<br />

This determines the length of time an effect will run. To specify, press {Duration/Cycle} and then<br />

choose the desired method from the buttons that appear to the left. The options are:<br />

• {Infinite} - for step and absolute effects, the effect will run until the channel is provided a new<br />

instruction or the effect is stopped. Relative effects with an infinite duration will run until a stop<br />

flag is applied.<br />

• {Duration} - the effect will run for a set amount of time given in minutes and seconds. Enter<br />

the time from the keypad.<br />

• {Num cycles} - the effect will run for a set number of iterations. Enter the number using the<br />

keypad.<br />

• {Duration/Cycles} {Num Cycles} [1] [0] [Enter]<br />

Parameters<br />

This allows you to select which parameters will be involved in the selected effect, by default. By<br />

entering a value here, you do not need to specify the required parameter when placing an effect on<br />

a channel group.<br />

To add or remove parameters to the effect, press {Parameters} and then select the desired<br />

parameters from the buttons that appear to the left.<br />

• {Parameters} {Iris} [Enter]<br />

Attributes<br />

These determine the basic behavior of the effect. Attributes include behaviors such as forward,<br />

reverse, bounce, positive, negative, and random grouping or random rate. The attributes are<br />

slightly different between step, absolute and relative effects.<br />

• Forward - the effect will run in the programmed direction (the arrow on the pattern<br />

editor indicates “forward” for pattern effects, step and absolute effects will follow<br />

numerical order).<br />

• Reverse - effect will run in the opposite direction of forward or reverse numerical<br />

direction. Forward and Reverse are mutually exclusive settings.<br />

• Bounce - effect will run first in forward, then in reverse. Subsequent passes alternate<br />

between forward and reverse.<br />

• Positive - effect will run the steps (on state and off state) as programmed. This is<br />

applicable to step effects only.<br />

• Negative - inverts the on state and off state for the effect. This is applicable to step<br />

effects only.<br />

• Random Grouping - channel distribution or step order (depending on the type of<br />

effect) are applied in a continuously random fashion.<br />

• Random Rate - this overrides the cycle time of the effect. Random Rate is applied in<br />

a range (for example 5- thru 150).<br />

Play with these behaviors to see how they alter your effect.<br />
