Hey there!

I’m new to Onyx and trying to figure out how to control the speeds of presets/fx’s (namely pan/tilt preset speeds or something like strobe speeds) with a sort of master controller, fader, or something else.

> Making Global Speed Masters Because M-Series treats FX values/Timing Values/Base Values separately, its possible to record cues with just one FX parameter in - such as speed. So therefore its possible to make an Override fader that will increase the speed of ANY running effect on a particular parameter. For example, you can make a speed override for Intensity speed, CMY speed or Pan/Tilt speed. You may choose which fixtures go into the speed overrides, either specific groups of fixtures or all…
