Effects

An effect is an automated movement or change of color. In other words, it is an automated modulation of attributes. 

Example:

Dimmer channel that runs the fixtures in a sinusoid between two values – high and low.

Effect Modes

There are four effect modes that are displayed in form of letters in the upper right corner of each object in the effect pool:

• A:
  A stands for an absolute effect. It moves in an absolute manner between the low and high values. 
• R:
  R stands for a relative effect. The low and high values are added onto the actual value. 

Hint:
Relative values are mainly used in pan and tilt. 

• S:
  S stands for a selective effect. It is only valid for fixtures that are linked to this effect. 
• T:
  T stands for a template effect. It is valid for all fixtures that contain the attributes of a particular effect.

For more information on the selective and template effects see Use template and selective effects.
