Hello...
Have seen this on several console types across several shows now so I know it's real but I can never quite replicate it:
EFFECT EFFECT to go into effect blind
1 ENTER to make a new effect one, chose type ABSOLUTE.
Sometimes the wrong effect graphic appears - ie. you see the grid for a step based effect when you've made an absolute effect, or vice versa.
It's a display issue - the effect is made correctly, so if you go back to live and back into the effects editor it will show the correct display for the type of effect you made
I think it might be related in some way to what the display was previously showing.
It's harmless, but confusing, particularly in training where people don't necessarily realise they're seeing the wrong thing and think they've done something wrong.
Thanks!
