CHAPTER FOUR

4. Palettes

This chapter contains: About palettes; shared and individual palettes;

recalling a palette; storing a palette; palette masks.

When programming a show you will find that you frequently use certain

positions, colours, etc. Like an artist’s palette, the Pearl lets you store

these settings so you can recall them at the touch of a button rather

than having to find them on the wheels every time. There are 10 pages

of 20 palette entries. You can name the palette values so that you know

what you’re getting, and select them using the LCD display softkeys.

Also, when you patch a fixture, the Pearl loads 10 preset positions, 10

colours and 10 gobos into the palette for that fixture. This allows you to

recall specific colours and gobos without having to find them using the

wheels. The positions normally need to be edited before you can use

them.

4.1.1 Palette values stored as a reference

The most important thing about palettes is that when you use a palette

value in a memory, the Pearl stores a reference to the palette, rather

than the actual value. This means that if you program your memories

using palettes, you can easily change all the positions just by

reprogramming a few palette entries rather than having to reprogram

all the memories. This is handy if you are touring a show and have to

cope with different stages or truss heights every show.

4.1.2 Shared and individual palettes

Palette entries can be shared or individual.

• Shared: If there is only one fixture in the programmer (you have

only changed one fixture) when recording the palette entry, then

you can use that palette entry for all fixtures of the same type. So

you could save a value for “Red” on the first of your Wackylites™,

and then use that value for any of your other Wackylites. This is a

shared palette, useful for values which are the same for all the

fixtures of one type, such as colour, gobo, prism etc. The pre-

programmed palettes are all shared.

• Individual: If there is more than one fixture in the programmer

when recording the palette entry, then the entry is unique for each

fixture. So when you save an entry with pan/tilt positions for your

4 central Wackylites, those positions will only ever apply to those

fixtures. You can later add values for other fixtures; fixtures which

have no values saved will not change when the palette is recalled.

This is an individual palette, useful for values which vary for each

fixture, like pan, tilt and image focus.

4.1.3 Which attributes are stored in palettes

A palette entry can store any or all attributes of a fixture, so you could

store position, colour and gobo in the same palette entry. However, it’s

easier to operate the Pearl if you have some palettes for position, some
