• Press Clear (right of numeric keys) to deselect all fixtures and
remove all changes from the programmer. See the next section
for more Clear options.
• Once you have changed any attribute, pressing a Select button
will deselect all fixtures and start the selection process again.
All previously selected fixtures (since you last pressed Clear)
stay in the programmer. Once a fixture has been edited, Fixture
buttons show a darker blue. The picture above shows the first
two fixtures selected, with the second three in the programmer
and the others unselected.
• You can select fixtures on another page by touching one of the
page buttons to the left of the fixture buttons, if you have
'Pages' set to Show (using the context button). Otherwise you
can use the scroll slider to show more buttons. On fader
handles, Page buttons are provided to change pages – on the
Pearl Expert these are above the numeric keypad, on other
consoles they are next to the faders.
• Using Key Profiles (see section 13.4.1 on page 242) you can set
the fi
xture touch button to latch mode so that it turns the
fixture’s dimmer channel on (like putting a preset fader to full).
4.1.2 Setting fixtures to a start position (Locate)
The Locate button (the button on the bottom right corner of the
console) is used to put the fixture into a known position with light
coming out, so that you can start programming it.
A quick press of the button will move all selected fixtures to a central
position and reset all the attributes so that you get a white light.
However you sometimes might not want to move the fixture, and by
holding down the Locate button, you get some more options.
• You can mask off some of the Locate settings (such as only
turning the fixture on, but not changing its position or colour)
by holding down Locate and pressing [Set Mask to Exclude All].
Then (still holding Locate) turn on the Attributes you want to
change using the Attribute buttons. Only the lit attributes will
be changed by Locate. Pressing the Attribute Options button will
clear the mask.
• Option [Auto Reset Mask] sets the mask to be automatically
reset to include everything each time Locate is pressed, or you
can toggle the option to [Remember Mask] which will keep the
mask setting you used last time.
• Option [Clear/Don’t Clear Located Attributes] sets whether the
attributes changed by the Locate function will be saved into any
cues you store. If the option is set to “Clear” then the Located
attributes will not be stored in the Programmer unless you
modify them using the wheels. This is useful if for example you
want to program a cue which sets the position of fixtures, but
does not turn them on. The Locate button will light up the
fixtures for programming, but the lit state will not be stored in
any cues you save.
To quickly locate without changing pan/tilt, hold Locate
and press the Pan/Tilt (or Position) button, then release
Locate.
To quickly locate pan/tilt only, hold Locate, press
