Setting basic effects on the 300 series is pretty easy. There are two ways you can do it live or
blind. I'll explain the live version quickly, but if you would like to learn the
blind way, let me know.
The effects are set up as a series of steps. For example FX 1 could have numerous different steps.(You can have them do different things with those steps: chases,
build,
etc.). Simply bring up the lights you want for your first step. Make sure you have nothing else up or it will also be recorded into the step. Then hit the Record
button, FX
button, #(any number that will corresond to the effects number), "."(type a period), #(last is the step number), and finally hit the "*"
button. So it should look on the
console like --- Record FX1.1* ---
Clear the board again and bring up the lights for the next step. This one you'll record as --- Record FX1.2 --- and so on.
This will set up a basic
effect for you. I believe the default is to run the
effect as a
chase in the forward directioin. You can also change other attributes of the
chase. To run simply type FX 1 then hit the FX Go/Stop
button.
