Can anyone tell me where the desk lock function is .... i can remember using it before but i cant find it any more.. it's a function to lock your pearl with a code so no one can chage anything (exept for the fader positions)
Maybe its in an older software version or something ..i know that i found it once in a menu somewhere .. and its pretty useful if youre taking a break and have to leave your desk..
Thanks in advance

Desk lock function on pearl??

It's not supposed to be a high-security measure. More just to stop those with itchy fingers (noise boys... ) or, for me personnally, just to stop faders getting knocked - for example when putting on the cover.
IMO it would be very dangerous to make it more secure. I already have a number of examples of users forgetting the code, or even worse, the code they thought they entered was not correct. Usually this is discovered minutes before a show begins. The reset option saves the day.

Maybe there's an option to make something in the software (what already happened) but then ellimanating the reset button.
If you are THAT concerned , why not....unscrew the washer that holds the reset button to the case and secure it inside the case. That way it's still available and easily accessible should you ever need it. Simple.
I was on a gig and noise boy in front of FOH, spotted the reset (show had just gone up) and with a really evil look in his eyes (like only they have)...said "oh, R E S E T - what does that do....?" <goes to press>
(yes Beach - ex Cliffs Pavilion, SoS - I'm talking about you...)
Well, my language...words I didn't know I knew...
