About Effects
Effects are manual control functions that can be applied to a channel parameter and then included
in cues. Cues can contain both standard transitions for some channels/parameters and effects for
the same or other channels/parameters.
A single channel parameter cannot have more than one effect applied at any time. However, a
channel may have one effect running on one parameter and another effect running on a different
parameter.
Effects have user defined properties and attributes which are applied to the effects whenever they
are used in cues. Effects also have cue level overrides, which allow you to use an effect in multiple
locations, and modify its size, shape and/or rate in individual cues.
Within Eos, effects are broken up into three fundamental behavior types; Step, Absolute, and
Relative effects.
The Effect List
At any time you may press [Effect] [Effect] to view the effect list. Any recorded effects will be
displayed here. The effect list is a blind view and any changes made in this view are automatically
stored; a record command is not required.
Notice that there are effects existing in this list prior to any being recorded. Effects 901-916 are
preprogrammed relative effects that are automatically available to you (see
Relative Effects, page
229 ).
To navigate this list use the navigation keys as described in Display Control and Navigation, page
32 or select the effect number you wish to work with. Notice that when you select the effect list, the
CIA changes to display the information for the currently selected effect.
