palette entry. The Pearl will give you options on the softkeys to Replace
or Merge the palettes. If you select Merge, anything you haven’t
changed will not be affected, values you have changed or added will be
amended.
• You can set the console to “Always Merge” (so it doesn’t ask you)
using option A of the User Settings (hold down the Avo button to
set these). You can also press the palette button a second time to
select the Merge option.
• You can add additional fixtures to a palette without affecting
existing ones. For example, if you have colour palettes for Mac
600s, you can add colours for your Mac 500s without affecting any
previously recorded values in the palette.
• You can remove attributes from palettes using the Off function,
see section Removing attributes from cues using “Off” on page 61.
• When editing a palette, the state of the programmer will be
preserved; when the modified palette is saved, your original
programmer contents will be restored and the programmer will be
left in the same state as when you started editing the palette.
4.3.2 Setting legends for palettes
You can enter a legend for each palette which is displayed on the HUD.
1> Press the Palette button above the numeric keypad.
2> Press the grey preset palette button for the palette you want to
legend, or enter the palette number.
3> Press B [Legend=xx] to change the legend.
4> Type the legend on the keyboard.
5> Press Enter when you have finished.
• The IPCGBES attribute
groups contained in the
palette are displayed
below your legend, so for
example Position palettes
will show a P, colour
palettes a C and so on.
The green N refers to a
“Normal” palette rather
than a S for “Shared”.
