I find myself using the colour picker exceptionally regularly because it is so convenient. In theory, I love the fact that I can use two fingers and select a range of colours across fixtures, but in practice, I often find that it is of limited use because I perhaps want different shades of the same colour and I can't get my fingers close enough on the screen to make that happen. As such, I end up manually going through the fixture range and selecting a slightly different colour for each. As such, my feature request would be a "double tap to zoom" colour picker, which gives a larger view of a limited range of colours, meaning that it is possible to use the two finger to select a range system more accurately for closely associated colours. Or perhaps a better way I haven't thought of. I noted another post showing custom colour pickers and I may look to do a few of those myself, but it would be brilliant if every colour had its own custom zoomed picker.

That will be very useful when it appears!

Was having slight frustration with the slowness of finding each fixture to add last night for a job and stumbled on a laziness assistance idea (my favourite). This morning I have grabbed all the fixture profiles I normally use and put them under the one made up manufacturer name so they are always at the top. Instant goto favourites list that I can easily update as I need to. Just thought I would drop the idea in the forum in case anyone else finds it useful.

Thank you. By mistake I was reading the wrong version manual because it popped up first in google.

Brilliant, thank you Edward. I knew there must be a way. Looked through the manual fairly closely and couldn't see any mention of deleting fixtures, so perhaps something worth adding if I haven't just missed it!

Hi Edwards The thought was to have the colour wheel without intensity, so that I can quickly select a colour just from the fader, or do some effects by scrolling through them manually. I wasn't too far off in my previous attempts but the SmartTag feature caught me out. It's a great board. Just a bit of a learning curve to figure out how it works. Your advice worked perfectly to do exactly what I was after. Sorry, to ask an aside question on the thread, but unlike perhaps many installs where the board works with the same lights every time (perhaps a theatre or such like), I tend to have different lights every time I operate - sometimes filming lights, sometimes moving heads for events etc. I may be missing something very obvious, but is there a way to remove a fixture once added? So far I've just been experimenting, so it has been no big issue to reset the board just to remove all added fixtures, but my thoughts of holding the delete key and tapping the fixture in the fixture schedule didn't work, nor did any similar thought for the channel "view" section which shows all lights on the main screen. I can understand it may be problematic because removal of one light would leave gaps, so perhaps a reset is just the obvious and only way to do it. Thanks Neil

Just new to this console, so I apologies if I am being slow! I would like to get quick access to scroll through all the colour wheels on a moving head (or multiple identical heads). By tagging, I seem to be able to get a particular colour and use the fader to bring that colour in via a recorded playback. However, I was wondering if there is any way to make the sliding of the fader change across the range of the dmx colour channels for the associated fixtures? And if it is, is there a way to limit that range, for example, so that I can go to 100% on the fader but not reach the rotating colour effects etc. so perhaps have a dmx output of 120 rather than 255? Any ideas for how to do this would be greatly appreciated!
