Components
To start a Content effect you need
• A channel source (a Group or Channel Set)
• A
Series
• An Effect Playback
Playback
• All parameters can be controlled live, similar to how a device is controlled
• The effect is applied to any predefined set or group of channels.
• The effect will run as soon as the effect playback intensity is over zero.
• The intensities will contribute to the Live output on a HTP basis.
• Attributes will replay on an LTP basis with the rest of the playbacks.
Live Parameters
• Change channels (set/group)
• Change distribution of groups (parts, symmetrical, interlaced, random)
• Change Part direction (forward, reverse)
• Change Play mode (Stop, Pause, Play forward, Random etc)
• Change Mode (Continuous, Break, Build)
• Change Rate plus times (attack, release, step, etc)
• Change Rate with the wheel or with tap
Create a Content Effect Playback
1. Create a Content Effect Playback. This can be done in two ways.
• # INSERT & EFFECT and select Content .
• Press INSERT in the Effect Playbacks List, and select Content .
Now that the effect playback is created you can apply it to any channel group, or you can
create channel sets and select them. You have to have a Series defined, since it is the
engine of the content effects.
2. You can now start the effect, by selecting it and setting a level over zero. See Activate &
Control Effects .
NOTE
The Effect playback is controlled similar to how a moving device
channel is controlled. A level above 0 starts the non-intensity content
and the intensity level of the playback masters the intensity levels
within the effect.
