Channel Colour on Magic Sheet

I'm going to guess that this is all you will get for conventionals.

The console doesn't really deal with a single fixture unless that happens to be the only fixture in a channel and even then it doesn't "know" it as there's no database or reference as to what gel happens to be in a fixture, as there is with say, a scroller.  

I cheat by making the border of a channel box an approx. color and add Text 3 as data from Lightwright with the gel number

Hi Guys,

This has been a very common request.  In the next release following 2.0.1 we plan to add the ability to modify the link behavior so that you can link to channel color and channel intensity independently.  That means, for example, that you can set the fill color to red and link just the intensity.  When the channel fades, the fill color will transition between black @ 0% and red @ 100%

RND 0022148:  Magic Sheets - color linking should have separate toggles for linking color and intensity

Could there also be a way to use the gel picker to select an items color?

Hi Josh,

Yes, that is on the list as well :)

RND 0022152:  Magic Sheets - item color picker improvements

1. include a list of recently used colors
2. include a "reset to default" button
3. include a gel picker

Thanks Chris

That'll be useful

Yes, it will be great.  Thanks You!

Out of curiosity is this something that will be dealt with at the patch level or magic sheet level?

I can see this easily being addressed by being able to tell Eos, through the attributes area in the patch screen, what colour filter has been placed in a conventional.  Then the magic sheet would just be referencing it the same way it does a scroller for a given channel would it not?
