You can do this by using mode 2. Program a playback with the highest rate you would require. [Edit Times], Press playback Swop button, Toggle Softbutton G until Mode=2. This mode forces LTP channels to act as HTP and is also useful for colour wheel and gobo selection by fader. It can be used with Sh...

Which software version are you running? There were some palette issues with 2004 v1.1 which have been fixed in v1.2

Can you elaborate further? By first fixture do you mean a fixture patched on handle 1, 101 etc?

One of the great things about the Pearl is the flexibility in how you program. There are many ways to achieve the same end result. The way you program the console may depend on what you are using it for, ie. Touring, Theatre, Club etc. Patching is very important and cannot be changed without loosing...

I can't say I have ever had much use for this function, so I am not sure. If noone else has an answer before I will test in a couple of days for you. What Version software are you running? - Turn key to system: Either it will be at the top of the LCD or you need to press softbutton A [Service], foll...

Haha! Well, if you've got a console there then you'll be fine.

Any questions, feel free to PM me.

It is quite an intuitive board to use. If it is only you who needs to learn I suggest downloading the Pearl Simulator, Visualiser and the Demo Theatre (only way to use them together for free) and the manual and have a play. If you are reasonably experienced with other consoles, then I don't think yo...

I guess most people are using the board for lighting bands. I do some club operating and usually have no trouble getting chases to run in time, although I always do this by wheel. I never use the tap function or sound-to-light. I am fairly sure the restrictions to speed increments are essentially a ...

Did you have the fixtures selected when you recalled?

If you have Quick Palettes enabled in User Settings you can recall without having to select fixtures. In this case it is not entered into the programmer and therefore you will only see the actual values in the screen.

Why don't you download it and have a look? You can check it out with the DemoTheatre for free. It is certainly not WYSIWYG, but then it does not cost $$$$$$. It is not like that is without serious issues either, especially the awful CAD interface. Anyway, yes it provides animation of fixture movement.

Well spotted Sir!

Known about this one for a while now and it is nasty, although seemingly unpredictable as to when it happens. I thought I was going mad the first two times it occured!

I think Olie has figured out what was causing it and hopefully the fix will be with us soon.

Yes indeed. Go here: http://www.avolitesdownload.com/Persona ... efault.asp and click 'request' / "request new personality"!

I'm afraid this is not possible at the moment.

But I wish it was too!

Hi,

From the manual:

DMX In: allows you to capture DMX from an external system into memories on the Pearl using the Include function.

AFAIK that is the only thing it can be used for, though I have never used it.

Regards,

Nic

/Edit: This may only be in 2004 soft. I am not sure!

Program Mode - LCD Highlight (Inverse text) for selected fixtures: When on an appropriate view, ie LCD Page 1, it would be neat to highlight the values of currently selected fixtures. When you are using a large number of handles on a page, it would be handy to see which values in the screen relate t...

Fixture override by attribute in RMT: (As suggested by MichSuS) The ability to take control of one or more attributes of a selected fixture which would take priority over any palettes or PB's. The purpose of this is much the same as for the 'remove shapes for selected fixtures in RMT', although it's...
