10.1.12 Blind mode

You can set the console to Blind mode by holding down the Avo

button and selecting [Blind]. This allows you to program cues using

the Visualiser window without affecting the look on the stage.

10.1.13 Busking with palettes

If you have not had as much programming time as you would have

liked, you might need to make up some additional effects during the

show. This is sometimes called “busking”, and is where the fun starts!

You can create instant variations by recalling palette values to modify

your existing cues. Palette values can have fade times saved with

them, or you can set a fade at showtime for added effect.

1> Select some fixtures which are already in use on stage.

2> Type “2” (or any time, in seconds) on the numeric keypad.

3> Touch a Palette button to recall a palette.

4> The selected fixtures will change to the new palette over a time

of 2 seconds.

If the palette contains programmed times, you can change the Key

Profile of the palette button to set whether the programmed times will

be used or not. (Press Avo Shift+[Key Profiles], then [Palettes] to set

the key profile). Options are [Palette is fired ignoring its times] or

[Palette is fired with its times]. You can also set whether the palette

will take precedence over a flashed cue or not. A time entered

manually as above will always override a programmed time.

When a fade is entered, you can also change the “Fixture Overlap”

using softkey A. This allows you to create “roll” or “peel” effects when

using a series of fixtures. With overlap=100%, all fixtures change at

the same time. If overlap=50%, the second fixture will not start its

fade until the first fixture is half way (50%) through fading. The order

of the fixtures is set by the order in which you selected them.

The palette fade time remains active while the Palette Fade menu is

open. Press Exit to leave the menu and return to instant palette

recall.

If you apply a palette with a fade time, then it will be overridden by

the next cue (so if you fade to green using a palette, then fire a cue

which sets those fixtures blue, they will go blue). If you apply a

palette without a fade time, it will go into the programmer and

override any subsequent cues (so if you use a green palette with no

fade, the fixtures will be locked in green until you press Clear).

Having the palette overridden by the next cue is quite useful when

“busking”. If you need to “snap” a palette but still have it overridden

by the next cue, set a fade time of 0 (leaving the Palette fade menu

open).

When programming your palettes, group all the colour palettes in one

area of the console, position palettes in another area, and so on. This

helps you to find them when the show is running and the pressure is

on.

If you are lighting a band, make position palettes for every person on

stage so you can spotlight them for those unplanned solos.
