Effects on Submasters
Channels running effects can be loaded onto a submaster. Pressing the bump button of the
submaster starts or stops the effect.
For the submaster to control the rate and/or size of the effect, it must be configured as an effects
submaster. When a submaster is defined as effect, only the effect information is stored. The slider
will then have control of the in and out behavior of the effect.
If the submaster is set to additive, the slider will control non-effect values only.
Configuring an Effect Submaster
To configure an effect submaster, press:
• [Sub] [x] {Mode} [Enter]
Recording an Effect to a Submaster
To apply an existing effect, press:
• [Select Channels] [Effect] [x] [Enter]
Recording to a submaster, press:
• [Record] [Sub] [x] [Enter]
Running an Effect from a Submaster
The way effects are played back from a submaster depends on its mode, and whether the
submaster is set to be a proportional fader or an intensity master.
Below is an example of four different submasters, in different modes, with the same effect stored to
them.
Effect on an Additive/Proportional Submaster
The submaster contains the intensity, pan/tilt data, along with the effect. Pressing the bump
button starts the effect. The fader controls values not affected by the effect. Pressing the
bump button again stops the effect.
Effect on an Additive/Intensity Master Submaster
Pressing the bump button marks the lights, and starts the effect. The fader brings up any
intensities stored in the submaster. Pressing the bump button again stops the effect.
Effect on an Effect/Proportional Submaster
Pressing the bump button starts the effect. The fader controls the rate and/or size based on
the effect’s entry behavior. Pressing the bump button again stops the effect.
Effect on an Effect/Intensity Master Submaster
Pressing the bump button starts the effect. The fader controls the rate and/or size based on
the effect’s entry behavior. Pressing the bump button again stops the effect.
In other words, there is no difference between a proportional fader and an intensity master
when the submaster is configured to be an effect submaster.
N o t e : The {Mode} softkey toggles between inhibitive, effectsub, and additive. Press
{Mode} until effectsub is on the command line.
