The 5 buttons to the right if the Intensity wheel are:
Copy
Copies the attribute values of the currently selected fixture or multiple
fixtures to the clipboard.
Paste
Pastes the attribute values of the clipboard to the currently selected
fixture or multiple fixtures.
Delete
Knocks out the selected fixtures from the programmer (either on its own
or as part of a command line string).
Grab
Single tap for grab active, double tap for grab default. See
section 21.8.3.
Off
Sets the intensity of the selected fixtures to zero.
Hint: Copy and Paste is a powerful function. It allows you to duplicate attribute settings
between different types of fixtures with just a few keystrokes.
For example, you have 12 fixtures that use Red, Green, Blue (additive) colour mixing and 12
fixtures that use Cyan, Magenta, Yellow (subtractive) colour mixing. Select the RGB fixtures
and set them to a colour (or even fan a range of colours) then press Copy. Select the CMY
fixtures then press Paste. All 24 fixtures are now set to matching colours. Clarity’s fixture
translation engine is very comprehensive and will attempt to convert all programming for all
attribute types.
The
Esc
button flashes whenever there is a modal dialogue box open that requires your
attention. Press
Esc
to close any dialogue box without making changes.

PLAYBACKS
The quantity and type of playbacks varies with the model of LX console.
The LX300 has 15 fader playbacks and 15 button playbacks.
The LX600 has 15 motorised fader playbacks and 60 Action Buttons for Groups, Palettes,
Presets or Cuelists.
The LX900 has 30 motorised fader playbacks and 60 Action Buttons for Groups, Palettes,
Presets or Cuelists.
The LX600 & LX900 consoles both include high resolution motorized faders on all playbacks as
well as the Grand Master.
With 99 pages of playbacks, the LX600 provides 1,485 simultaneous playbacks and the LX900
doubles this number to 2,970. Managing this many playbacks is easy with motorised faders, as
they instantly slide to the correct position as soon as the new page is selected. This provides
instant visual feedback and allows the level to be manually overridden just by touching the fader.
