About Effects
Effects are manual control functions that can be applied to a channel parameter and then included
in cues. Cues can contain both standard transitions for some channels/parameters and effects for
the same or other channels/parameters.
A single channel parameter cannot have more than one effect applied at any time. However, a
channel may have one effect running on one parameter and another effect running on a different
parameter.
Effects have user defined properties and attributes which are applied to the effects whenever they
are used in cues. Effects also have cue level overrides, which allow you to use an effect in multiple
locations, and modify its size, shape and/or rate in individual cues.
Within Eos, effects are broken up into three fundamental behavior types; Step, Absolute, and
Relative effects.
