click the % icon to the top left of the fader window (3). To jump to a preset (for example, a particular gobo), right click the top of
the channel and select the preset from the list (4).
Each channel can be turned ON and OFF by clicking the button at the bottom of the fader. If a channel is OFF, it will not be used
in the scene. Therefore, if the same channel is being used in another active scene, the output value will remain the same. If a
channel is switched ON and set to 0, then the output value will change to 0 when the scene is triggered.
Controlling With the Palettes
The Palette tab provides an easy way to control the functionality of a particular channel. A palette is available for each different
effect. All the effects of the selected fixture are displayed along the top of the window. Click the appropriate effect to scroll
automatically to the corresponding palette.
There are 3 types of palette:
Pan Tilt : The X axis of the grid controls the Pan channel and the Y axis controls the Tilt channel. Move the grid cursor to control
quickly, click in an empty area of the grid and drag to control with a higher precision. The precision sensitivity can be set by
scrolling with the mouse wheel whilst the mouse cursor is over the grid, or by moving the horizontal fader to the bottom right.
Drag the faders above and below the grid to adjust the pan and tilt individually. As with the grid cursor, clicking the fader cursors
will control the channel quickly and clicking in an empty space in the fader will control the channel more slowly and with higher
precision. By default, all lights will snap to the same pan and tilt values when moving the grid. If fixtures are positioned in
different places, they can be moved relative to each other by clicking the ‘Relative’ button. In this mode, several small points are
shown to indicate the position of each of the selected fixtures. To the right of the Relative button is the ‘Center’ button which can
be used to quickly position all fixtures to 50% Pan and Tilt.
Color : The color wheel can be used to quickly control RGB and CMY channels. Drag the cursor inside the color wheel to set a
color and drag the cursor on the circular fader to set the brightness. Other color wheels are available by right clicking on the
wheel. The HSV color wheel allows you to have separate control of the hue, saturation and brightness value. Click around the
color wheel to jump to a color, drag the cursor to quickly change the hue/saturation/brightness or drag in an empty space to
adjust the color with a higher precision. Clicking in the centre of the wheel will show the operating systems color properties
window which allows for a color to be picked from a variety of different swatches along with an eyedropper to select the color of
a pixel on the screen. Its also possible to enter RGB and HSV values here.
Other : Other channels will show a list of their presets along with a fader which is able to control the range of the preset. For
example, if an ‘Iris Pulse’ preset is selected, the fader may control the speed of the iris pulse.
