You enter Colour Set mode by pressing the Colour button. You can then directly
enter any of 16 colours by pressing the number buttons. If you press two adjacent
buttons together, you will get a
split colour
(half of two adjacent colours). You have
got to select one or more heads before you can set the colour.
For CE range lighting effects, the controller will tell you what colour you have
selected. For other units the controller will display a colour number. If you are using
an effect that has less than 16 colours, you will find that some colours are repeated.
Note: If you’ve got several heads selected and they are different types, the
controller will display the colour names for the first selected head. The
colours on the other units may not match the display.
You can also use the Value slider to give free positioning of the colours (in other
words it doesn’t jump to full colour positions). This allows you to set ‘split’ colours. If
you move the Value slider, the display will show the colour value as a percentage.
Note: The Value slider can be used to change colours even when you are not
in Colour Set mode (except when in Gobo mode or when running a
chase). This allows you to change colours while in other modes.
If you press Cancel, the colours on all the selected heads will be set to open white
(zero). If you were changing a scene, the colours will go back to how they were set in
the scene.
You also use the Colour select mode to turn switch pack channels on and off. If the
head you have selected is configured as a switch pack, you will get the display
Switch 1. 2. 3* 4*
Pack 01
Pressing 1, 2, 3, 4 will turn the channels on and off. The channel is turned on when a
star is displayed, off when a dot is displayed.
