Ion palettes administration

Hi all,

I'm working with an Ion for a while now. I'm usually working on small sets with 10 moving lights or so. While programming a show I'm always get lost of which palette is which. Is FP14 the x-wash or the special mic? I'm not into working with direct selects because this takes to much of my monitor space and . So how do you do it? Do you write a list or do you press the focus palette key twice?

And I'm having this thought: what if when you press a palette button the browser pops up with a list of the corresponding palettes. So pressing the focus palette key, pops up a list with my focus palettes or when operating a touch screen a direct select window with your focus palettes. 

Cheers,

Remko

  • I'm using dual touch screens and when using my 6 - 10 ML's, will set them up with a DS in "Lower Left" (which is really low on the right monitor) showing 50 Presets.  I build a lot of Presets.

    The left screen has a tab as Direct Selects showing 20 Groups (for individual fixtures) then above that 20 Focus Palettes, then above that 20 Beam Palettes, then above that 20 Color Palettes.

    I record this as Snapshot 1.  

    Snapshot 2 is the same but puts the Color Picker in a Tab on the upper section of the right screen

    Snapshot 3 will condense the left screen and  show the cue list in the upper, with the channel tiles on the right screen.

    Thus I can, by calling Snapshots, see a lot of info in a hurry.

    All Groups and Focus/Beam/Color Palettes are text labeled, as are all Presets, thus I don't need to make a list of anything, so "Red" in a color palette is the deepest color the ML's can get to.  "Lava SM Slw CCW" in a Beam Palette tells me it's the Lava Gobo in s Studio Spot, Small image rotating slowly counter-clockwise, etc....

    This is my Basic config that is the building block for most every show.
