4> Press the empty button where you want it to go.
• The Menu Latch button latches the Copy/Move/Link menu, so
you can keep copying, moving or linking things without having
to keep pressing the
Copy button. Press Exit to unlatch.
• [Retain Layout] or [Bunch Up] is used when copying a group of
palettes with empty handles in the group – you can either keep
the empty handles, or bunch up the used handles together.
• When in Copy mode, option [Copy Legends] can be changed to
[Don’t copy legends] so that the copied palettes are given
default legends.
• When in Move mode, [Swap Items if Required] will attempt to
reposition any existing handles which are in the way of the
move. This is useful when rearranging buttons on a page which
is nearly full.
5.4.2 Deleting palettes
You can delete a palette entry by pressing the Delete button, then
pressing the palette select button to be deleted. Press the palette
button again to confirm the deletion. You can delete a range of
palettes in one go by holding down the first one then pressing the last
one.
Other ways to delete a palette:
• Press the Update Palette button, select a palette, use the
[Delete] softkey option.
• Press the Palette button above the numeric keypad and use the
[Delete] option in the [Palette Utilities] menu.
• Press Delete then [Palette], type the palette number, press
Enter.
• If you have playbacks which use the deleted palette, they will
go back to the values which were stored in the programmer
when the playback was recorded.
5.5 Timing with palettes
Palettes may be saved with timing information, or you can manually
override the timing when recalling the palette.
5.5.1 Palettes with saved times
If you have saved time information in a palette, it will normally recall
with this timing information. So if you programmed a 2 second fade,
the palette will recall with a 2 second fade.
You can turn this off (which can be useful during programming) using
the key profile setting for palette keys (see section
12.2.1 on page
196). You can set [Palette Is Fired With Its Times] or [Palette Is Fired
Ignoring Its Times].
5.5.2 Manually overriding palette times
Being able to recall palettes with a manual fade allows easy "busking"
of shows. When a palette is recalled in this way, a time is added and
the palette fades in over that time.
