Explanation
a brief explanation of the syntax used. For all the other XML details please refer to Formats and syntax
<step pause="0.01">ActionScript.SetProperty.Boolean("Programmer.BlindActive", true)</step> //first step for going into blind mode
<step pause="0.01">Programmer.SetBlindMode(false, 0)</step> //second step, after this step the desk goes into blind mode
<step pause="0.01">Group.RecallGroupNumeric(100)</step> //selects group 100
<step pause="0.01">Palette.ApplyPalette("Location=Colours,1,16", false)</step> //selects the colour palette on the first page on the 16th slot
<step pause="0.01">ActionScript.SetProperty("Palette.CurrentPaletteHandle", handle:"Location=Colours,2,1")</step> //sets the colour palette on the second page on the 1th slot into the desks memory
<step pause="0.01">Palette.StoreCurrentPaletteReplace()</step> //replace the palette in the desks memory with whats in the programmer
<step pause="0.01">Programmer.Editor.Clear(Attribute.Mask.Clear.Value, Programmer.Editor.Fixtures.Clear.Presets, false, Expert.ClearMenu.FadeTime)</step> //clear the desk
<step pause="0.01">ActionScript.SetProperty.Boolean("Programmer.BlindActive", false)</step> //first step of going out of blind mode
<step pause="0.01">Programmer.SetBlindMode(false, 0)</step> //second step of going out of blind mode
How to use it
- make a color chase that uses color pallets
- place those color pallets on the color pallets windows page 2 positions 1 and 2
- create a group for all the fixtures used in that color chase and give that group ID 100
- when you want to change the colors, place the 2 new colors you want on the color pallets page 1 positions 35 and 36 (will be the two bottom right ones when you go full screen and supper size.
- run the macro and have fun.
