9 Recording to Palette Buttons

Palettes are useful because they provide quick access to Positions, Colours and Beams.
Moreover any changes made to a palette will automatically update any memories or
chases that have been recorded using those palettes.
Generally Palettes are recorded by first selecting fixtures and setting Position Colour
or Beam information. To store the information press and hold the Record button, and
press a palette button. When recording say a Position palette it doesn't matter what
colour or beam is being used as only Position information will be saved to the Palette
button. There are however different rules for recording position, colour, and beam.

Recording Colour Palettes

When recording Colour palettes, only one fixture of each type needs to be selected and
adjusted to record that colour. Unselected fixtures of the same type are automatically
included when the palette is recorded. However if individual settings for each fixture
are required then some, or all, fixtures can be selected and a unique colour will be
recorded for each selected fixture.
To record a fixture colour palette:
That colour will be recorded into all fixtures of the type selected.
If more than one fixture of a type are selected and the colour setting for these fixtures
are different, then the colour setting for the lowest number fixture is used as the
common setting for all other non-selected fixtures. The colour setting for the other
fixture is regarded as a unique setting for those lights alone.
