LIGHTING CONTROL CONSOLE INSTALLATION & SETUP GUIDE
9. Goto
26 BUTTON DETAILS
Palette VL
• Goto will place that cue on stage in the time setup in Show Options>Cue List. Press [GOTO] [#] [ENTER] to take
the selected Cue List to the desired cue.
• If in the Windows UI console personality, the Cue Number edit box will be preloaded with the cue number of the
blue highlighted line.
• When using the [NEXT] key, a desired time for the cue to execute can be set. The recorded time is the default time.
10. Group
• A Group is a defined selection of channels at a recorded level. Activate a selection of channels at a level, then type
[RECORD] [GROUP] [1] [ENTER]. With the channels released, activate the group by typing [GROUP] [1] [ON]
to apply the selected channels at their recorded levels. To only select the channels, type [GROUP] [1] [ENTER].
The levels can now be adjusted with the level wheel or any level adjusting key. i.e. Full, On, Up%, Down%.
• Technically, these are stored as Looks, but you can just record and call up groups as previous generations of desks
have done.
• See "Show Options" in the PALETTE VL Software Help Menu for assigning Look pages to this key.
11. Halt / Back
• The [HALT/BACK] button will halt any running cues on its Cue List. A cue is running when the Green LED on
the GO button is flashing.
• If a Cue List is halted (flashing Red LED), pressing this button again will back up the Cue List.
• If the Cue List is releasing, both the [GO] and the [HALT/BACK] LEDs will be flashing.
• [SHIFT] [BACK] will go to the previous cue in recorded time. (This is very useful for encores.)
12. Load
Note: For those familiar with previous Strand Lighting Consoles, this does not work like the 500 Series of consoles
to load a cue on a playback.
• Unlike previous Strand consoles, Load will activate the recorded item’s information for editing. [LOAD] [CUE]
[1] [ENTER] will place all contents of cue 1 into either the Live editor (if in Live Mode) or the Blind editor (if in
Blind Mode). Channel information can be edited and then updated.
• If in the dialog box, press [S4] to load the entire state of the cue (all the cumulative levels that got you to the Look
on stage at that point in the Cue List).
• Edit the cue by changing levels, adding channels or releasing channels.
• Either press [UPDT] to update the loaded cue (watch the status area at the bottom of the screen) or press [REC] to
record it as a new Cue or Look.
• Press [LOAD] [LOOK] then the desired Look number to load a Look for editing.
