Thanks to Brent for helping me get my custom scrollers patched!

So now I was able to assign each scroller color to its own color palette.  I verified this after recording all sixteen.  I then went back and labeled all of the palettes with their names, ie, "spanked pink" (love it!).  I then went back and was just running through some of the palettes and they were no longer correct, ie., the palette for "Neon Yellow" was now some sort of blue.

Is this some sort of bug?  Did I do something wrong?

 

TIA,

Did you happen to calibrate any of the frames in the mean time?

No I didn't.  I created the palettes, tested them successfully, then renamed them and they were screwy!  This all in about a span of 10 minutes!

So this is what happened...when I first entered the labels for the palettes, I entered them in incorrectly.  I thought the colors in the encoder screen went left to right, THEN down, but they are listed down then right.  I simply typed in the wrong color names!

 

Sorry for the false alarm...back to your shows!
