Recording and Using Looks
Busking
One of the very powerful features of Palette is the ability to very quickly record ideas
to Looks (i.e., [REC] [BUMP]) that can later be called back by the command line, or
referenced by cues as palettes or even played back on Sub Masters as easily as
pushing up a slider. Using multiple Sub Masters in a live situation to layer prerecorded
ideas is what we call Busking.
Palette's Fade Resolution (discussed in the topic Fade Resolution) allows you to
continue writing to the stage with many many different playbacks and Sub Masters
and it keeps track of them all, even if only the latest or highest is winning. You can
pile look upon look continually and then pull it all apart again, not just in reverse
order, but in any order. With the flexibility of using multiple cue lists, look handles
and bump buttons all used in combination with Priorities and Look Attribute
Behaviors (described below), Palette makes a great live desk.
After recording Looks to Look Master Pages, Palette gives you many possibilities of
how to bring that Look back up on stage. These are discussed fully in the topic
called Looks under the section about the Look's properties, but it is worth showing
the Look Properties' options here to exemplify two possible ways of using Looks in a
live situation:
If, when recording a Look using moving lights, the intensities are included in the
Record Options, the look will automatically receive the properties as shown above.
That means that as you push up a Look Slider, all the moving light attributes will
quickly set themselves into position and leave you with just the intensity level on the
slider. Moving the handle in the opposite direction, as the slider reaches zero, all the
attributes will be released and will return to whichever playback or other look was
controlling them before this look was brought up.
