Pearl 2008 Manual - 16th July 2007
10.4 Manual control during a show (“busking”)
If you have not had as much programming time as you would have
liked, you might need to make up some additional effects during the
show. This is sometimes called “busking”.
You can create instant variations by recalling palette values to modify
your existing programs. The Pearl can fade to the palette values for
added effect.
You need to be in Takeover Run mode to do any of this .
Fading palettes over time in Run mode
Select some fixtures which are already in use on stage
Press “2” (or any time, in seconds) on the numeric keypad
Press the Focus button
Select the Colour palette page
Press a softkey to recall a different colour from the Colour palette
The selected fixtures will change to the new colour over a time of 2
seconds.
If you don’t select any fixtures in the first step, the palette value will be
applied to all fixtures (if this is enabled in User Setting 6, see page
195).
To save having to select fixtures, you can apply the palette to all
fixtures in a memory.
Setting a palette value to fixtures in a memory
Press the Focus button
Select the Colour palette page
Hold down a softkey for a different colour from the Colour palette
Press the Swop button of the memory you want to use
Release the softkey
The palette value will be set to all the fixtures in the memory.
You can apply this palette to fade over a time by pressing a number
before you press the Focus button.
If you apply palettes over a time, they do not get put in the
programmer. This means that the next time you turn on a playback,
the new playback settings will override the old palette.
If you apply palettes with time=0, then they do go into the
programmer, and the palette value will override any new playbacks
until you press Clear. If you want to apply the palette instantly, but
don’t want it in the programmer (so that turning on a new playback will
override the palette), enter a time of 0.1.
You can also change the position of fixtures; the easiest way to do this
is to use “Nudge” on the graphics tablet. This allows you to sweep
selected fixtures around their programmed position by drawing with the
pen, so you can alter the height of a chase or shape in real time.
