effects
An effect runs steps, containing channels, in a variety of patterns called
chases. An effect can be positive, with lights starting off and being turned
on in patterns, or negative, with lights starting on and being turned off in
patterns.
Insight 2x allows you to record effects, each with up to 100 steps, into
cues or submasters. Each effect includes level and timing controls for the
steps in the effect, and overall timing controls for the effect itself. Each
effect step can last for up to 99:59 minutes.
Note: Channel levels are not affected by an effect until a step runs that
specifically addresses the channel.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Steps
• Creating steps
