Standard Colors

How do I get to Standard Colors with the keyboard? I would like to use the 2700K, 2800K, etc. in macro's.

For all other colors I would use {Colour} [3][/][2][0][1] for Lee201 e.g.

A similar command would be great for Standard Colors

  • There are no shortcuts for the standard colors. But you can learn them by pressing [Learn][Macro][Insert # of Macro][Enter].
    Then select the standard color you want and press [Learn] again. Repeat this process for all standard colors you need.

    If you look at your recorded macro in the editor, it should say something like this:
    "SET_CHAN_LEVEL -1 3 ##### ##.###### ##.#####"

    The macro won't put the command into the command line though, it'll only work for selected fixtures.
    One might argue though, that simply making color palettes would be easier and faster.

    Thank you for your answer. The problem is, that this only works for a fixture with the same amount of colour channels or less. So if you made the macro with an RGB fixture, it doesn't work for a RGBW fixture, but it does work the other way around. Calling the manufacturer/gelnumber is more or less universal.

    The macro should be independent of fixture types, as it simply simulates picking a standard color, which can be done even if there's no fixture selected.
    Maybe you recorded something into the macro that shouldn't be in there.

    This is what the macro for 2700 K should look like:



    This should work with any fixture type. How well it works depends on wether the fixture is calibrated or not, of course.
