Returning To Home Values; Copying Parameter Values - Compulite Spark User Manual

Returning to home values

Home values for parameters are included in the spot definition. Home values are usually
neutral assignments, such as no color, no gobo, shutter/iris open, dimmer on, etc.
Home values are defined in the Device Definition in the Mix Output menu.
There are 3 keys used to "home" parameter values: [HOME], [CL1], and [CL2].
Assigning home values
Use [HOME] to home all of the parameters. SK 20 is used as the [HOME] key. Home is
displayed on the controller display when the SKs are in Parameter mode.
Keypresses
1. Select spots.
2. Press the SK for controller 20.
Clearing parameter values
[CL1] and [CL2] also reference the home values, assigning the preset value to the
parameters included in the clear functions. The default for CL1 usually includes all of the
color parameters and for CL2 usually includes all of the gobo parameters.
Parameters may be included or excluded from the clears In the Mix Output menu/Define
Device. (See Chapter 21)
Keypresses
1. Select spots.
2. Press [CL 1] or [CL 2].
Access using [SHIFT].

Copying parameter values

[COPY] permits copying parameter values from one spot to one or more spots.
All parameters or selected parameters may be copied from one spot to another. This
function is extremely useful when creating libraries especially with devices using color
mixing. Set the color for one of the spots and copy the parameter values to the others.
Parameters may be copied from the editor, memories, or libraries.
