Adjusting the parameters of an effect group

It is possible to adjust the parameters of each Effect Group as follows:

1. Select the Effect Group you want to adjust. 
   

   

2. In the bottom part of the window, you will see the settings and parameters of the Effects Group.
   

   • Size, allows you to adjust the size of the effect, its default value is 100% and the minimum value is 0%. When the size is set to 0% the effect will not be visible and the fixture will return to the state it was in before the effect was applied. 
     

   • Speed, allows you to adjust the speed of the effect, its default value is 30BPM. Adjusting the speed of an effect increases or decreases the number of cycles completed per minute.
     
     It is possible to display the speed value both in seconds and in BPM, to change the units you should press for 1 second on the value field:
     
     In the units settings window it is possible to change the units between BPM and seconds, enter a value manually and adjust the speed by Tap to time.
     
     Note that when selecting the units or entering the value manually it is necessary to press OK to apply the changes. However, when setting the speed with TAP to time at the end of the tapping the value will be applied directly and the window will close. 
     

   • Phase/Spread, allows you to adjust how the effect is distributed over several fixtures.
     
     It is possible to adjust this parameter in two different ways, to change the units click on the value field for 1 second.
     
     In the units settings window it is possible to change the units between Phase and Spread.
     

     Phase (PH) The value can be set from 1 to 360º. For example, 180º is repeated every 2 fixtures, 90º every 4 fixtures, and so on.
     
     Spread (SP) The value can be set from 1 to 1024. For example, 512 is repeated every 2 fixtures, 256 every 4 fixtures, and so on.
     

   • Offset, allows you to set the start phase of the Effect Group. This allows you to set different Effect Groups to start at different times. 
     

   • Width, allows you to adjust the amplitude of the effect, its default value is 100%.
     

   • Loop, allows you to set the number of times the effect will run, once the specified number of loops is reached the effect will stop. Its default value is 0, which means that the effect will run indefinitely. 
     

   • Repeat, allows you to set how many fixtures the effect is repeated every fixture. Its default value is 1, which means that the effect is spread over the total number of fixtures.
     
     Let's see three examples where it is possible to visualize effect with different Repeat values on a tilt sine effect from left to right:
     

     

   • Split, allows you to adjust the offset between contiguous fixtures within the same effect.
     
     Let's see three examples where it is possible to visualize the effect with different Split values on a tilt sine effect from left to right: 
     

     

   • Selection Mode, allows you to adjust the way in which the effect is reproduced on the selected group (or groups) of fixtures. It is possible to select between 3 modes:
     
     Grid: The effects will apply the direction and other parameters taking into account the position that each fixture occupies within the group grid.
     
     Steps: The effects will apply the direction and other parameters taking into account the step order that each fixture has within the group.
     
     Groups: The effects will apply the direction and other parameters between several groups of fixtures instead of between the fixtures that compose them individually.
     

   • Direction, allows you to define the direction of the effect. It is possible to select between 24 different directions for grid groups or 4 for linear groups.
