14.15 PAD VIEW
Video 4 (Pad View) shows a list of all Fixtures
loaded on the PaTPad and shows exactly which
(flashing) parameters are included when you use
the [store] or [store + level] buttons as well as in
other PaTPaD operations.
The Fixture numbers (Fx) are listed on the left of
the screen. The 24 parameter matrix buttons
(Param Number) are numbered across the top of
the screen.
The Fixture that is currently selected on the
PaTPad
has a row of : : : : symbols.
In the example above it is fixture 4.
Fixtures that are faded up have a white name.
If they have no intensity they have a cyan name.
Fixtures that are Hi-lighted have a grey
background. If they are NOT Hi-lighted have a
black background.
Parameters can be represented by the following
symbols;
-
(colon) the parameter exists and can be selected
by its [PM] button on the PaTPad.
F
indicates that a filter has been applied to the
parameter.
a

the PaTPaD
E
indicates that a palEtte has been applied to the
parameter.
P

details on Palettes and Presets.
Hint: The most important information
conveyed by the PADVIEW screen (and also
on the PaTPaD) is that any Parameters that are
included when you use the [store] or
[store + level] buttons will be flashing.
