Auto Menus
This Setup option generates automatic palettes, groups and macros based on the fixtures
assigned. The exact contents of these depends on the capabilities of the fixtures you
assign.
Auto Groups
Press the [Auto Menus] MFK or select the [Auto Menus] button on the Setup Window
Press the [Create Auto Groups] MFK or select the [Create Auto Groups] option from the
drop down menu on the monitor.
The desk then generates an All Fixtures group, a group for each fixture type on the desk,
including dimmers, plus an ‘odd’ and ‘even’ group for each different fixture type in the
schedule. These groups can be used for selecting the fixtures quickly, using the MFKs or
monitor.
Auto Palettes
Press the [Auto Menus] MFK or select the [Auto Menus] button on the Setup Window
Press the [Create Auto Palettes] MFK or select the [Create Auto Palettes] option from the
drop down menu on the monitor.
The desk then generates a number of colour, beamshape and position palettes for each
moving fixture type in the fixture schedule and a number of standard effects palettes, as
described below:
Colour Palettes
The desk provides a set of standard colour palettes.
The desk generates an auto palette for each colour available on every fixed colour wheel
in the fixture. These palettes are labelled with the stock colour names as supplied by the
manufacturer.
Beamshape Palettes
The beamshape palettes generated by the desk are based on the gobo wheel and shutter
parameters of the fixtures as follows:
• Gobo Wheel(s) – An auto palette for each Gobo present on each gobo wheel in the
fixture.
• No Gobo – This auto palette sends all the ‘Gobo’ parameters to their default values.
• Shutter - Two auto palettes (Shutter Open and Shutter Closed).
