Effect Level Timing
Timing attributes are available on an effect level to control the Wave, Fade In, Fade
Out, Duration (either Time or Cycles), or overall Step Times for each effect.
• Wave - (set using encoder or window) the time it will take an effect to loop back to
the beginning. (Only applies to Break or Cycle modes.) A wave time can only be
greater than the total sequence time (i.e., the Wave time will never cut a sequence
short, only add a gap before the sequence starts again).
• Fade In Time (0 - 59.59) - (set using encoder or window) allows channels to
begin the effect sequence while fading to the full intensity value required by the
effect steps. (If there is no fade in time, the effect will follow the attack time in the
sequence.)
• Fade Out Time (0 - 59.59) - (set using encoder or window) allows channels to
fade out after exiting the effect. This timing value is only assumed by channels
that are going inactive in the incoming cue, or when the cycle or duration time has
expired. Any channels involved in the incoming cue would immediately cease
activation in the effect and fade to their new cue levels in the time provided by the
incoming cue. If there is no Fade Out Time, all channels will immediately stop the
effect pattern and fade to their new instructions in the time dictated by the
incoming cue. If they are not involved in the incoming cue, they will fade to
inactive in the out time of the incoming cue.
