Creating and Using Effects 221
Entry
Establishes at what time and how channels will enter the effect. To change the entry method press
{Entry} and then choose a method from the buttons to the left. Entry modes vary by effect type. The
options are:
• {Cascade} - channels enter the effect according to the trail and cycle time values (if
applicable).
• {Immediate} - all channels enter the effect instantaneously.
• {Fade by Size} - The effect will achieve its full value as allowed by the pattern or step/absolute
values using the In Time.
• {Fade by Size and Rate} - the effect will achieve its full value as allowed by the pattern or step/
absolute values and ramp up to full speed using the In Time.
Exit
Establishes at what time and how channels will exit the effect. To change the exit method press
{Exit} and then choose a method from the buttons to the left. Exit modes vary by effect type and
how the effect is stopped. The options are:
• {Cascade} - Channels leave the effect when they have completed their last pass (number of
cycles) or when they do not have enough time to make a final complete pass (duration).
• {Immediate} - all channels exit the effect instantaneously.
• {Fade by Size} - when the effect is exited, values will return to their background state while still
running using the exit time.
• {Fade by Size and Rate} - when the effected is exited, channels will stop running the effect and
return to their background state using the exit time.
• {Stop and Fade} - when the effected is exited, channels will stop running the effect and return
to their background state using the exit time.
• {Stop and Hold} - when the effect is existed, channels will halt exactly where the effect left
them.
Time (Entry or Exit)
These fields establish the length of time for channels to enter/exit the effect. It can be entered in
minutes and seconds from the keypad. These timing values are applied to the entry and exit
modes.
