appearing in white are included when storing a memory.

the editor.
Dark blue A memory entered to the editor for memory modification..
Light brown Output deriving from a controller.
Light blue Output deriving from the A/B playback.
Gray Tracking of spot parameters and scrollers. DMX Input channels.
Yellow Match. This only appears in special circumstances. When the editor level of a
channel or spot that has been stored using STORE STORE is different than the
level of the output source. Example: Channel 1 is output from controller 1. The
controller level is 25%. Channel 1 was selected in the editor at Full intensity
then stored. The editor does not release channel 1. So as not to cause a jump in
the light on stage. the editor retains channel 1 at Full intensity displayed in
yellow. Moving the controller 1 to match the editor level releases the channel
from editor control.
