The Faces effect is used by xLights to generate singing and talking face effects. It is used and placed on the sequencer as part of the Papagayo import functionality, if the target in xLights is a Coro face.
It is also used within xLights functionality to generate Singing Faces. The use of this effect is described in the section describing Singing Faces.
The color pallet is used to determine the color of the signing face. If force custom colors is enabled in the model's face definition, the custom colors takes precedence and the color pallet will not change the effects color.
