• Press the SWOP button of the Playback Fader of the Chase Step before
which you want to Insert a Step.
If you want the Chase Step on the end of the Chase, use the first vacant
Fader after the last Chase Step. An extra Playback SWOP LED lights up and the
Screen displays the new Chase Step. The desk will have picked a suitable Step number
for it, which will be a decimal number between the two step numbers either side.
⇒ You must use the Softbutton for this, not the blue INSERT button on the
Program Select bank for this function.
7.14.7 Renumbering the UNFOLDED Chase
You may wish to renumber a Chase because you have added new Steps,
which currently have decimal Step numbers, or because you have deleted
Steps, and have Step numbers missing.
If you want to RENUMBER the Chase :
• Press Softbutton C [INSERT] again.
• Press Softbutton A [RENUMBER].
• Press Softbutton F [YES] to confirm that you want to renumber
otherwise press Softbutton A [NO].
• Press EXIT to quit to INSERT function.
7.14.8 PREVIOUS 15 STEPS
As the Pearl only has 15 Playback Faders you cannot fit more than 15
Chase Steps onto the Playback Faders at a time. Pressing this button puts
the previous 15 steps of a long Chase onto the Playback Faders for editing.
If you are already at the start of a Chase, this function will do nothing.
7.14.9 NEXT 15 STEPS
And surprise surprise, this puts the next 15 Chase Steps onto the Playback
Faders so that you can edit any of the Steps in a very long Chase. If you are
already at the end of a Chase, this function will do nothing.
7.14.10 Exiting UNFOLD
To exit UNFOLD :
• Press the UNFOLD button again. Its LED will go out, and you will be restored to
the Playback page you started with.
7.15 How Playback Faders run timed Chases
The Playback Fader will govern the maximum level to which an HTP
Channel will output, but it will not affect any of the Times.
The LTP Channels run as normal.
7.16 Copying a Chase
The word COPY means two things when COPYING a Chase (or Memory).
It means that the original Chase is replicated, but it also means that all the
replicas and the original are linked, and changing ANY of the linked
Chases changes ALL of them. Deleting a Copy does not affect the other
replicas.
