You can preview the output of a chase
step on the display. The chase does not
have to be connected or running.

2> Press the Swop button of the chase
to view.
3> Choose the attribute to view by
pressing one of the Attribute
buttons.
4> Use softkeys F and G to step
through the chase, or type a new
step number and press Enter.
• Values with a “P” indicate that a
palette has been stored in the step;
the number is the palette number.
You can view the steps of a connected

7.3.1 Adding more steps to the end of a chase
You can add steps to the end of a chase by pressing Chase, then the
Swop button of the chase, and saving more steps in the same way as
you did when creating the chase. New steps you save will be added
onto the end of the chase.
7.3.2 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.
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)
