lxkev Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 Here's a suggest i have to ask for, which would save loads of time in setting up the desk and programming...... An auto palette function! If any of you have used a avolites pearl, you will know what i mean. Sorry Zero88 got talk about the pearl> :? >> basically when you install a fixture it give you a option to load a default palette. its save so much time. I've noticed that you copied their buttons, go on, copy their auto palette please!!! Jands also do a sim kind of thing, and have a off-line editor to create and manage the palette's easly. its also possible to have the pallets split. ie 6 buttons beamshape,next6 colour etc... but thanks for the FROG function.. + the faders on your range of desks are so much nicer to use then the pearls. Any clues on when the nxt update is? Quote I need a new job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkup_xp Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 I'd vote for this - was talking about it just the other day with a colleague. I don't know how it would effect the size of the fixture file though - remember, it has to fit on a floppy disk. Quote Peter Kirkup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony White Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 I agree...setting up the pallettes is a time consuming job, so anything to make it less painful...... Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haytech Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 I like this impression - If it´s possible to set up your own pallets with User Fixture File Editor then we can define our own "default" paletts - setup pallets on desk should be able any times.

ice Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 I don't know... where would those pallets be located? And what exactly would you place there? Okay; it would be rather nice to have selection buttons for the different gobo's and colours if that's what you mean? So when you load your fixture the first x pallets of the colour pallets would become all the different colours your fixture had etc? But that would suck when it consumes space (for instance; I'll program about 12 different colours with washes; that would mean a default pallet would contain 12 colours, limiting my "free" options to 12! that's way too less). Maybe these kind of things could be selected by the channel-flash selector; ie first 24 will be exactly the same as they are now; 25-48 would be these programmable things? Don't know... don't really think it's going to be on the list; loads of work I'm afraid, just as my topic considering focus-pallets. Quote > 500 posts, time for a new T-shirt?

lxkev Posted February 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 -where would those pallets be located =same place your already place pallets (depends on the fixture i.e/..how many gobo's ). - what exactly would you place there? = if you look at some of the fixture files, specifically on details. u will find things like 001 - gobo 1 etc... These fixed values could be transferred onto the pallets...This also means that zero88 would not have to upgrade the offline editor, as the gobo/colour values can all ready be entered. (yep not all fixtures have these details, but when I used the sirus I used to always have to redo them coz they were usually wrong, but its only a 5min job to do this!) - consumes space = yep, but its optional, i.e. when u patch the fixture it will say auto pallet <no><yes> also you can record over the created pallets if you wish.
