I know we are a few days behind getting this weeks Tips and Tricks video out to you. While we had a lot of great feed back from the March Matrix Seminar, I wanted to touch on on another topic that will add a different level to your sequencing with the standard "canned" effects. Have a look at the Value Curve. This is a simple way to make animated real-time changes to an effect by simply loading a preset value curve. Related to this, as I review in the video, is the color curve (video link following this weeks video).
