Changing Color  
Once your lights are selected, click on the tab labeled “5 ML Controls.” In this tab, you’ll find a color picker. Use your mouse to select a color for the channel that you’re selecting.
To the right of the color picker the program will display numerical values for the color you selected. Reference these values to duplicate a color in another scene. 
Recording Cues  

“Cues” are used to create an orchestrated show with multiple different scenes. To create a cue, first locate the “Cue List” window shown above.

If the cue list isn’t open in your program, click on the monitor icon in the top left corner of the screen.
This will open the “tab selection” menu. Click on the “PSD” option shown above. This will open the Cue List window in your file. To record a cue, set your lights to the desired look for the scene, then press [Enter].

To write your selection as a cue, first press [Record].

Then press [Cue].
Your live bar will look like this if you’re on the right track. The cue will now show up in the cue list.
Repeat the steps above, and write your second cue. The command will be [Record] [Cue] [2] [Enter]. Once you’ve made two (or more) cues, they will show up in numerical order in the cue list.

Use the [Play] button on the left-hand side of the console to advance forward in the cue list.

Use the [Stop] button to move backwards to the previous cue.

By default, the cues will transition with a 5 second fade. The [Time] parameter is shown here in the cue list.

In order to change the transition time between two cues, follow these steps. First press [Cue].

Then select the number of the cue you’re transitioning to. (In our example, it’s Cue [2])

Then press the [Time] button.

Select a number, (in seconds) for the duration of the transition. In our example, I chose 0 seconds, because I do not want it to fade between the two cues.

Then press [Enter]

The LIVE bar will look like this if you’re on the right track.

The new time parameter will look like this in the Cue List.
