Pearl 2004 Manual v1 - 27th August 2004
7.6.3 Setting times and links for individual steps
You can set the fade in and fade out times independently for each
step/cue. Chase steps with individual times are called Complex steps, if
they use the global settings they are called Simple steps. To set
independent times it’s easiest to use Unfold, but you can also stop the
chase and use the Live Time button as described on page 162.
1> Press Unfold then the playback swop button for the chase.
2> Press B [Edit Times], then the playback swop button for the chase
step you want to set
3> Press Softkey A-F to select the time parameter to set, and type
the time value (as described above).
4> Press G to set Link on or off
5> Press Enter when you have finished. If you press Exit, any
changes you have made will be lost.
• Any changes you make will automatically change the step to a
Complex step.
• If you want to return the step to be a Simple step, using the
global times and link settings, press the ML Menu button while in
the Edit Times screen until that the display top line shows “<ML>
Save as Simple” (you may have to press it twice), then press
Enter. Any times you have set will be deleted.
7.6.4 Viewing timing information
You can view the timing settings of a
connected chase by pressing View then
Connect. (when View is set to LCD views;
if the top line of the display shows “VDU
views” when you press View, press G
[LCD views])
For each step, the first line shows the
step number, whether links are off or on
for that step (Off=”-”, On=down arrow),
and whether the step is Simple (S) or
Complex (C).
The second line shows the Wait In, Wait
Out and LTP Wait times for the step.
The third line shows the Fade In, Fade
Out and LTP fade times for the step.
The active step is always at the top of the list, and the list moves up as
the chase runs.
A similar display can be shown on the VDU screen by pressing View,
then G [VDU views]
then Connect.
At all times when a
chase is running, the
bottom of the screen
shows bargraphs
