7.3.3 Editing a chase using Unfold
The Pearl has a powerful chase editing
system. The Unfold button places each
step of a chase on one of the playback
faders as if each step was a memory,
allowing you to turn on and edit each
step individually.
Tiger: If a chase has more than 10
steps, the Tiger Wing must be
connected to access steps 11-
15 on each page.
The display (right) shows the step
number, step legend, whether the
step is Simple or Complex, and
whether links are turned off (-) or on
(down arrow).
1> Press Unfold (one of the blue
command buttons), then the
Swop button of the chase to be
edited
2> The first 15 steps of the chase are loaded into playback faders 1-
15. The display shows details about the steps.
3> Raise a playback fader to output the contents of that step (fade
times will operate as programmed)
4> Various Unfold options are available, the details are below.
5> Press Unfold again to get out of unfold mode.
• To edit the contents of a step: Press Clear to empty the
programmer, raise the fader to output the step, make the
changes, press A [Record], then the Swop button (1-15) for the
step number.
• To change the times for the step, press B [Edit Times], then the
flash button for the step, then set the times (see Timing on the
following page)
• To Insert a new step, set up the lights for the new step, press C
[Insert], then the Swop button where you want to insert the new
step. The new step will be allocated to the button you press with a
step number half way between the steps either side, and all other
steps will be shifted along one. (You cannot use the blue Insert
button in Unfold mode).
• To Delete a step, press D [Delete] then the Swop button for the
step you want to delete, followed by Enter.
• You can copy a step by holding the Flash button of the step to
copy, then pressing the Swop button of the step to copy it to.
• You can renumber the chase to whole numbers by pressing C
[Insert], A [Renumber], then Enter to confirm.
• If the chase has more than 15 steps, you can swap to the next 15
steps using softkey F, or the previous 15 steps using softkey E.
• G [Shape Generator] allows you to insert and edit shapes in the
chase steps.
