My current project has me working in the effects a lot. One option i stumbled across in the absolute effect is the ability to have the level in a step be relative to the background state. I.E step 1 level is background, step 2 level is background +20. This type of programing would be useful to me if it was able to be saved into a preset or a pallet. Then i could have an absolute effect that has steps that reference a preset that has both relative and absolute/ reference values in it. I.E step 1 background, step 2 is a preset with the intensity at +20% and a color of blue. That way no matter what the underlying cue (background) is the effect will always change the intensity values upward and shift the color to blue.
