To change the Fade Time and/or Wait Time of all entries in the Effect Parameter Chaser list, select all entries first by pressing Ctrl+A on your keyboard. Then, perform a click with the right mouse button on the desired entry and change the value. For this example, change the Fade Time to 2.00 and the Wait Time to 0.00

Click the Play/Pause button and the Effect Parameter Chaser starts.
