The Avolites Discussion Forum

hello guys,

ive got a little situation about my pearl expert.i tried to create r20 file for my fixture using the r20 personality builder.unfortunately,i dont think pearl expert can load or read it.is this possible or not.i used to do this with pearl 2008 and 2004 and the pearl tiger with no gliches.i just can fure out why i cant have it working in the expert.

would apprciate any help extended.
thanks much,

If you are running TITAN, the Expert uses personalities from the D4 fixture library (.d4) and is completely different from .r20

Assuming you have already checked the fixture personality library, you will have to write/edit your own using a text editor or submit a request to Avo via the personality site.
The other option is simply to patch the fixture as dimmers.

If you're not running TITAN - then you should be!

Are you trying to read it from floppy/usb? The Expert won't do this. Instead you need to open Explorer and manually copy it into the classic directory: C:\program files\avolites\personalities\r20\

Regarding Titan personalities you wouldn't normally use a text editor to create your own. At a push you could use an xml editor but there is dedicated software available on request.

Ah...
Who do we contact to get hold of the editor software?
