Effects on the Ion

The other day, I was working with some effects on an Ion and I came across these questions:

Is there a way to start/stop more than one effect simutaneously?

How do I stop all effects at once?  I thought [Effect @ Enter] would be the same as [Stop Effect Enter] on the EOS, but alas.

Also, I belive I came across a glitch of sorts- I had step-based effect X running, I would go into the editor and change something in any of the step cells.  Back in Live, when I would try to stop the effect by going [Effect @ Enter], (which stops only the last selected effect?), it would put the previously edited step number on the command line, resulting in a syntax error.  Then, after I would clear the command line, it would require me to add the Effect number to the command in order to get it to stop.  Harmless, but a little annoying if you have 6 or 8 nonsequencial effects running.

Thanks

    The documented way to stop an effect is:

    Pressing [Stop Effect] [Enter] will stop all running effects.
    To stop a specific effect, press: [Stop Effect] [x] [Enter].
    You may also stop effects on specific channels by [selecting channels] [Stop Effect] [Enter].
    You may also remove an effect instruction by [selecting channels] [Effect] [At] [Enter]. This
    command will work in live or blind. You can also stop the whole effect by pressing [Effect] [x] [At]
    [Enter]

    I seem to remember having more than 1 effect running in the same cue in the last show I did without any issues. You could always create a multipart cue and record the effects into each part, or create multiple cues with a follow time of zero.

    Yes, but isn't there no [Stop Effect] on the Ion, or am I really just dumb?

    And I am wondering about start/stopping without cues, busking style.

    Thanks, B

    There is a softkey for stopeffect

    you need to clear the programmer then

    <effect><More SK> <stop effect>

     

    The other option that I started using tonight was using single cue cue lists loaded on faders. 

    By turning the the fader to an intensity master you can execute the effect in a contained cue stack. All of this should be moot when v1.5 is released and we have effects on subs....but for now it is more about the single cue on a fader.
