Step 2: Press:
•
[At] [ y ] , where [y] is a proportional level, or use the level wheel/trackpad.
When you do this, you are using the focus point like it is a group. No
reference to recorded levels is created or maintained. Direct levels are
recorded in any subsequent record command.
• [Focus Point] [ y ] [Enter] , where [y] is the focus point you want to reference
to. This could be the same as the focus point you used in step 1, if you
wanted to look at the entire focus point on stage, for example. Or, you can
use the focus point in step 1 as a selection tool, and the focus point here as
a level setting tool.
Palettes
If you want to create a quick color select, you can use palettes . Palettes are stored in
Emphasis Visualization as a shortcut in the Emphasis mode. They are not referenced by
cues and submasters, but do provide a quick way to recall colors. See the Emphasis
Visualization User Manual for more information on palettes.
Only and Solo
The [Only] and [S3 - Solo] functions can be used with fixtures to limit selections and record
commands to the attribute categories. This is useful if you only want to set the color
channels of a fixture to a focus point, or if you only want to record position channels to a
focus point, for example. You can also use [S3 - Solo] to step through your fixtures,
adjusting them individually, then return to the whole stage look.

where [y] is an attribute number, you can limit your selection to one attribute.
