Palettes
The Solution & Solution XL desk provides four sets of 400 palettes. The
palettes are stored under the 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.

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 palettes.
