Auto Effects
ZerOS can generate 45 automatic effects, by clicking the “Automatically create effect palettes” button. Each palette displays the effect number, content flags and a name.
Content flags indicate which attributes are programmed in the effect palette, and are displayed top left of the palette tile:
- I = Intensity
- C = Colour
- B = Beam
- S = Shape
- P = Position
- E = Effects
When applying auto effects, base values of parameters will be automatically changed to allow the effect to work correctly. For example, applying a “rainbow” effect will change the base values of the Red, Green and Blue parameters to 50%. Choosing “No Effect” will not return the base values back to their previous values.
The following effect palettes will be created, upon pressing "Automatically Create Effect Palettes":
- Effect 1 is "No Effect". Tapping this removes any effects from your selected fixtures.
- Effects 2 - 10 are intensity effects. These will be available to all fixtures with intensity, including standard dimmer channels.
- Effects 11 - 20 are movement effects, for your moving lights.
- Effects 21 - 40 are colour effects for fixtures with colour mixing, such as LEDs.
- Effects 41 - 45 are Beam & Shape effects, including Iris, Zoom and Focus effects.

Automatic Colour Effect Palettes
The automatic colour effects will be available for fixtures with RGB or CMY parameters.
If an automatic colour effect is applied to a fixture with additive colour mixing, the RGB parameters will be used, and all other additive colour parameters that may be present will be taken to 0%.
