A negative parameter value produces pincushion distortion, and a positive 
value produces barrel distortion.

This deforms the pattern spirally.

• The parameter Magnitude determines the size and direction of the spiral.

A value of –100.00 represents the maximum movement in the 
counterclockwise direction, and a value of +100.00 represents the maximum 
movement in the clockwise direction.

• The parameter Wave Speed determines the speed of the lateral waves.

A value of –100.00 represents the maximum speed to the left, and a value of 
+100.00 represents the maximum speed to the right.

You can snapshot and save a wipe pattern together with the current settings of 
its modifiers and pattern limit in a dedicated register for recall when required.
There are 10 wipe snapshot registers on each M/E bank and the PGM/PST 
bank. 
Use the Flexi Pad control block in each switcher bank or the Menu control 
block to save and recall wipe snapshots. (For details, see “Wipe Snapshots” 
(page 460).)
For simple transitions (see page 371), there are eight wipe snapshot registers 
on each M/E bank and the PGM/PST bank.

By a simple operation, you can return the wipe state to that set in initial status.
