-Q-Shift is a way to utilize "offset effects" quickly and easily for your live shows. It resides within the "Quick tabs" area of BEYOND. Unlike offset effects within cues or within effects, Q-shift utilizes the "Live Control" parameters from the "Live Control" tab in the right tabs area. Because of this, these offset effects have much lower CPU requirements are run much faster than other cue based, or effect based offset effects. +Q-Shift is a way to utilize "offset effects" quickly and easily for your live shows.

 ===== The Pads ===== ===== The Pads =====
Line 9: Line 9:
 Q-Shift is controlled with touch pads, that operate on a y and x axis. Amog the Y axis you have the effects percentage of utilization, and on the x axis you have an -100 to +100 offset value. The amount of offset is set within the pad properties. The Pads have two modes, 1D mode where it is only the y axis and controls the effect amount, and 2D where both effect amount and shift percentage is selectable. The pads also include 0% and 100% bumper buttons that allow quick and temporary enabling and disabling of the effect live. In 2D mode the shift amount value along the x axis will be maintained and only the effect amount is moved on the bumper buttons. Other parameters of these pads are modifiable in the "Pad Properties" area.  Q-Shift is controlled with touch pads, that operate on a y and x axis.

 Any delays or the animation between your start and finish points are edited within the "Pad Properties" window. And the Live control tab is just utilized for selecting the Start and Finish parameters of your effect. Be sure to only use the "A" and "B" modes when modifying Q-shift pads, as that is their only purpose.  Any delays or the animation between your start and finish points are edited within the "Pad Properties" window.

 The destination tab lets you select a zone order you will use for your effect. This is not a selection of which zones will output, however a selection of zones that the effect will apply to. If none are selected, the Q-shift will apply to all zones outputting. If a smaller selection is put in the destinations, then only those destinations will have the effect of the pad, but output will maintain on all the other outputs, without the effect. The destination tab lets you select a zone order you will use for your effect.

 This will be very important for selection order. To get the "Symmetrical" delays that users love, you will want to select the order you would like to have the effect apply, this will likely mean selecting from outside in, or inside out. That is where order will matter for your effects.  This will be very important for selection order.
