Operation Guide

12. Recording an Effect

This topic shall go over basic effect recording. Effects allow constant movement of light in either a step based
environment or in an effect engine based environment. The 250ML Control Console gives you the ability to do step
based effects for intensity and engine based effects for automated luminaires.
Note: See "Effects Tutorial" on page 52
Once the channels levels are at the desired levels, the first step is to place the desk into Record Mode as shown in
Figure 53.
Note: In Record Mode, many commands are limited to recording actions.
The next step after [RECORD] is pressed is to select a submaster by pressing its bump button. The selected
submaster's bump button will flash red to indicate that the active live channels are in the process of being stored into
the selected submaster. The following screen shows the options once the submaster has been selected by pressing its
bump button.
• This screen gives the user the option to change the settings that are stored on the submaster. Most of these settings
will determine how the submaster outputs its stored data when activated.
• See "Submaster Options" on page 31
• To continue recording an Effect, as indicated in Figure 54, press (S5 - Type) once to change the Type setting to
Chase.
• When all settings are correct, press [ENTER] to complete the record sub action. An alternate method is to press
and hold the submaster's bump button for 3 seconds to complete the record command.
