Linear Effects
Linear effects can be applied to any device parameter, and to dimmer intensities.
Start Linear Effects
The linear effect can only be applied to one intensity channel or parameter at a time. It can
be a single parameter for a selection of devices (color, strobe etc).
Stop Linear Effects
Linear effects can be stopped individually for any device.

free to experiment in any other way. Here is some information about them.
