Applying a Curve

To Channels In Patch

Curves can be applied to any intensity parameter in patch. Once added, the curve number appears
in the channel’s “Curve” column of the patch display. Pressing {Curve} in Patch>Attributes will
display a list of available curves.

[Patch] {Attributes} [1] {Curve} [9] [0] [1] [Enter] - applies curve 901 to channel 1

intensity.

[Patch] {Attributes} [2] [Thru] [8] {Curve} [2] [Enter] - applies curve 2 to intensity for

channels 2 thru 8.

[Patch] {Attributes} [1] {Curve} [At] [Enter] - removes the curve from channel 1.

To Cues

Curves can also be applied to cues or cue parts in Live/Blind. When a curve is applied to a cue, the
output at any given point of the cue’s completion is determined by the control input. For example, a
10 second cue with curve 903 “Fast Bottom” applied to it will appear to fade faster at the beginning
of the fade, and then slower as the fade completes, but all within the 10 second time frame of the
cue.

When a curve has been applied to a single part cue, it impacts only the intensity of that cue. When

applied to a part of an multipart cue, it impacts all parameters stored in that part. Once added to
a cue, the curve number appears in the cue’s “Curve” column of the cue list in the playback status
display.

[Cue] [5] {Curve} [4] [Enter] - applies curve 4 to cue 5.

[Cue] [4] [/] [6] [Thru] [9] {Curve} [9] [0] [6] [Enter] - applies curve 906

to cues 4/6 through 4/9.

[Cue] [5] {Curve} [At] [Enter] - removes any curve from cue 5.

[Cue] [8] [Part] [3] {Curve} [6] [Enter] - applies curve 6 to part 3 of cue 8.

To Scroller Fans

Curves can also be applied to a scroller fan. When applied to a scroller fan, the output of the fan will
be controlled by the intensity of the channel. To apply a curve to a scroller fan, go to
[Patch]>{Attributes}>{Fan Curve}.

See “Attributes” on page 68.

Delete a Curve

While in the curve display, you can delete a curve in the following ways:

[Delete] {Curve} [3] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes curve 3 from the list.

[Delete] {Curve} [9] [0] [1] [Enter] [Enter] - since curve 901 is a pre-established

curve, this command will return curve 901 to its default state, thereby removing any

edits to it.

[Delete] [Enter] - deletes the currently selected curve.
