Question about Ion Xe Colored Keys

Hello!

My school has an Ion Xe light board and I have been familiarized with it for quite a few months now. I have one question that bugs me a lot about the machine.

When I startup the light board (from a complete shutdown) I see this: https://youtu.be/jAGT0cAl-QQ.

As you can see, the white keys can turn different colors. I am wondering if it is possible to make these keys different colors (e.g. Go to Cue 0 button be red) in actual use? Or did ETC literally just put colored keys in there for no reason?

Thanks,

Anand

    Hey Anand!

    While those particular keys do have Red and Green emitters, there is not a way to customize the colors of those keys.

    The keys will occasionally change colors to indicate specific functions.

    For example, the [Timing Disable] button, used with [Load], causes timing data to be ignored for any cues that are activated on the associated playback fader. When a playback fader is in timing disable mode, you will notice “TD” in the associated fader display, and the [Timing Disable] button will be red.
