6.3.1 Editing a cue

You can edit any part of a cue you have already saved simply by

making the changes and saving the new information on top of the

cue.

1> Press Clear to empty the programmer.

2> Fire the cue you want to edit, so you can see what you are

doing. Kill all other cues to avoid confusion.

3> Select the fixtures you want to change, and make the changes.

4> Press Memory/Cue.

5> Press the Swop button for the cue you are editing.

6> Press [Merge] (the cue being edited is highlighted on the HUD)

7> The Pearl will merge the existing cue with your changes.

Unchanged information is not affected.

• If you want to overwrite the cue entirely, use [Replace] at step

• To speed up editing, you can set the console to “Always Merge”

the cue. This is option A in the User Settings (press Avo and

select User Settings).

• You can also press the Swop button for the cue a second time

to select the “Merge” option (quicker than selecting the softkey

Merge option).

6.3.2 Playback and Cue view

To see the current timings of the cue, press View then the swop

button of the playback you want to view, or on the Touch Wing touch

the playbacks display above the fader. The VDU screen will show

details of the delay, fade, overlap and curve settings for the cue. You

can click on or

touch each item in

the grid to enable

editing.

If you click or

touch the View

button at the right

hand end of the

row or the [View

Cue] context

button, the Cue

View window

opens, showing

you details of the settings individual timings for all the fixtures in the

cue. There is also a [View Cue] button in the context button area.

The Cue View has four different views: Levels, Palettes, Times,

Shapes. Views are selected using the context buttons to the left of

the menu buttons (if using the touch wing) or by pulling down the

context menu at the right hand end of the window’s top bar.
