very intuitive and fast way, regardless the size or nature of your rig.
There are four types of effects

Control
To control an effect you create an Effect Playback from which you can control, record and
edit it like a moving device into presets and palettes.
• When the intensity is over zero the effect will run.
• Effect intensities are recorded, edited, copied and tracked like any other channel intensity.
• Effect parameters are stored into palettes and presets just like any moving device
parameters.
• There is a Live Effects tab, and you can open a dock area to show active effect playbacks.
