Palette Options

When recording palettes, there are three softkey options.

{By Type} Palettes

By Type Palettes are created with 'default' channels which contain values that can be assigned to any other channel within the same fixture type. By Type palettes can also contain discrete channel values.

By Type palettes will display a ‘T’ in the lower corner of the direct selects and in the palette lists. A ‘+’ will display after the ‘T’ if there are channels stored with discrete data.

{Absolute} Palettes

Absolute palettes are palettes that when recalled the data is displayed and treated like absolute data applied to a channel. The data is never referenced.

An absolute palette will display with an "A" in the lower corner of the direct selects and in the palette lists.

{Locked} Palettes

Locked palettes are palettes that are protected from being accidentally changed in Live.

A locked palette will display a “L” in the lower corner of the direct selects and in the palette lists.

Locked palettes can be updated by specifically calling the channels and the record target, [channel list] [Update] [record target] [Enter]. You cannot update a locked color palette directly in Live. However, locked palettes are not protected in Blind.
