1.3.6 Key profiles
The Pearl allows you to reconfigure how the front panel buttons work
to suit your method of working. You can also change the way some of
the touch keys work on the Touch Wing. You can save your settings
as a Key Profile. Different profiles can be selected for different users
or to enhance the operation of the console for a particular use. See
section
13.2 on page 141 for details.
1.3.7 Undo/Redo
You can undo and redo up to 20 actions by pressing Avo Shift and the
grey left arrow (undo) or right arrow (redo) buttons below the
numeric keypad. So for example if you press Clear then wish you
hadn’t, the Undo function will restore the console state.
1.3.8 Key macro recording
Lighting programming can sometimes require a repeated sequence of
button presses. You can record sequences of keypresses and play
them back with a single keypress – this is called a macro. To record a
macro:
1> Press the blue Macro (previously Insert) button (to the right of
the numeric keys).
2> Press [Record]
3> Press a vacant preset Flash button. Recording starts. The Macro
button flashes during recording.
4> Press the sequence of buttons you want to record.
5> Press Macro to finish recording.
To play back the macro, just press the grey Flash button where you
recorded the macro. The macro will repeat all your button presses
(with no delay or timing between the presses).
When using the Touch Wing, macros may also be recorded into 10
dedicated buttons on the Wing. In addition you can display a
workspace window with further macro touch buttons. The 10
hardware buttons are allocated to the first 10 macros in the window.
1.3.9 The Pearl Expert Titan application
The Pearl Expert Titan application is the “engine room” of the console.
The main reason you will need to use it is to configure DMX outputs.
Use the Tools → Switch Tasks menu to bring the application window
to the front.
Setting up DMX outputs is described in section
13.2 on page 141.
