5.5.1 Palettes with saved times
If you have saved time information in a palette, it will normally recall
with this timing information. So if you programmed a 2 second fade,
the palette will recall with a 2 second fade.
You can turn this off (which can be useful during programming) using
the key profile setting for palette keys (see section
12.2.1 on page
200). You can set [Palette Is Fired With Its Times] or [Palette Is Fired
Ignoring Its Times].
5.5.2 Manually overriding palette times
Being able to recall palettes with a manual fade allows easy "busking"
of shows. When a palette is recalled in this way, a time is added and
the palette fades in over that time.
1> Select some fixtures.
2> Type in the fade time for the palette on the numeric keypad.
3> Press a palette button to recall the palette.
• This overrides any timing stored in the palette itself.
• You have to re-enter the time each time you recall a palette. To
use the same fade every time, set a Master Time: Press Palette,
[Master Time]. To disable Master Time set to 0.
• Palette fading can be very useful when recalling a palette live
during a show, as you can smoothly move fixtures to a new
position or change colour slowly (on colour mixing fixtures).
• Palettes applied with a fade time do not get put into the
programmer, so will not be saved in any cues; don’t use fade
times when programming. This is to ensure that when used in a
live situation, the next cue will override the palette and play
back as intended.
5.5.3 Manual fixture overlap when recalling palettes
You can set a Fixture Overlap when recalling a palette, which means
that the palette will be applied in sequence to each fixture in the
group. This is a very quick way to busk some amazing effects. Fixture
Overlap=100% means that all fixtures will change together. Fixture
Overlap=0% means that each fixture must complete its fade before
the next will start its fade.
1> Type in the overlap time for the palette on the numeric keypad.
2> Press [Set Overlap].
3> Type in the fade time if fade is also required.
4> Press a palette button to recall the palette.
• You have to re-enter the overlap each time you recall a palette.
To use the same overlap every time, set a Master Overlap:
Press Palette, [Master Overlap]. To disable Master Overlap set
to 100%.
5.5.4 Master Time for palettes
Option [Master Time] on the Palette menu (press the grey Palette
button above the numeric keypad) allows you to set a default fade
time. This fade time will be used for all palettes unless you manually
