Color palettes and dummy channels

I am looking to execute the following and could use some help, step-by-step:

”When recording by-type color palettes, I like to make “dummy” channels that aren’t actually patched to real lights as my by-type channels. I then put them all in a group so I can quickly select all my by-type channels. Once I have a color set for all by-type channels and I’m ready to record a new color palette, I use “Group x Record Color Palette y By Type Enter””

I am attempting to simply copy color from one Skypanel to another. Recording color palette “by type” doesn’t always do this. Also, “by type” isn’t easily accessible with my show control, OSCrfr (as far as I know.)


I really wish I could just save color and recall it as easily as in, say, Luminair, for example….Flushed

    1. first you patch your dummy channels. one channel per fixture type, for our example let's say that those are chanels 4001-4003.
    2. record a group (e.g. Group 4001) with channels 4001 thru 4003.
    3. in Live select at least one channel of a real light and the dummy channel of the same fixture.
    4. turn them on so you can see them on stage.
    5. with still real plus dummy channel selected, mix your color.
    6. type Chan 4001 Record ColorPalette 1 ByType Enter
    7. repeat steps 3-6 for the other fixture types.
      you could also do steps 3 thru 5 for each fixture type first and then use Group 4001 Record ColorPalette ByType Enter.
