Chase into Show

[skogason]

Hi!

Is there a way to import a chase from a disk into a show on the Pearl2004?

If so, how?

Thanx!

[Olie]

No, would be nice though. The difficulty comes with the fact that you can not ensure the patch is the same.

[skogason]

ok. Thanx!

But why is there, when you press "Disk", an option called "Import Chase"?

It is to import from a PC.

Quote from 2004 Manual:

F [Import Chase] – You can import a matrix chase created on an external PC application using this feature. To import a chase, insert the disk containing the chase you wish to import and select this option.

However, I have never understood the function. I don't think it was ever documented before.

Does such an application exist and if so how does it work?

Yes it does... I think Shad created it for someone years ago. It basically allows you to set up a matrix of generics and easily design chases to run over them from memory. I can't actually remember how it works or anything since I only saw it briefly!

It was a custom update for LD Dave Gibbon and Darren Parker at DPL...

The whole thing is explained in a bit more detail here....

I knew about that show & the custom software, but from (questionable) memory the import function was available long before that.

Awesome show from Mr. Gibbo though. Very jealous!

Ok - I thought the two were linked a little more intimately....

Oops - I meant the software and <import chase> NOT Gibbo and Darren.

(another one for the lawyers! )
