Effect fade times
Each effect has an overall upfade, dwell and downfade time. When you
create an effect cue, the times default to the cue fade times in your
system settings. If you have not changed the default settings, this means
an upfade of five seconds, a dwell of hold, and a downfade of five sec-
onds. See Setting default fade times on page 17. [Time] allows the user
to set the upfade, dwell and downfade time for the overall effect.
Note: Dwell time is the length of time the effect runs between the upfade
of the first step and the downfade of the last step. Hold assigns an infinite
dwell time, meaning the effect runs until the associated [Clear] key or
bump button is pressed to start the downfade.
Times may be expressed in minutes and seconds, or as fractions of sec-
onds (in decimal format). Times can be programmed from .1 second to
99:59 minutes. Acceptable time values include: .2 (.2 seconds), 00:12 (12
seconds), 5.5 (5.5 seconds), or 5:30 (five minutes, 30 seconds).
