Palettes
The Leap Frog 48/96 desk provides the user with four sets of 200 palettes. The palettes
are stored under the nominal headings of Colour, Beamshape, Position and Effects.
When an attribute has been selected last (eg Colour key was pressed and the wheels are
showing Cyan, Magenta and Yellow parameters), the MFKs display the Colour palettes.
Palette Windows
Each set of palettes has it’s own palette window. To display a palette window on the
monitor, hold down the SHIFT key and then press the appropriate attribute key (COLOUR,
BEAMSHAPE, POSITION or EFFECTS). The palette window contains a soft button for
each of the 200 palettes.
Recording Palettes
Programming a palette is simple. Set up the fixture outputs as required, ensuring that the
correct parameters are tagged. Press the COLOUR, BEAMSHAPE or POSITION key to
make the MFKs palette selection keys. To store the palette, press and hold down the
corresponding palette MFK for two seconds. The LED in the palette MFK is lit when the
palette has been recorded.
Note – Recording Palettes
Only the tagged fixture parameters of the selected attribute (eg Colour) are recorded into
the palette.
