When programming your palettes, group all the colour palettes in one 

area of the console, position palettes in another area, and so on. This 

helps you to find them when the show is running and the pressure is 

on. 
If you are lighting a band, make position palettes for every person on 

stage so you can spotlight them for those unplanned solos. 
 
You can use the Off function (see section 6.3.4 on page 71) when 

programming to set some cues to only affect position, and other cues 

to set colours, gobos, add shapes, and so on. By combining two or 

more cues you can produce a much wider range of effects than if all 

your cues set all the attributes. However, for this to work well you 

need to make sure you know what attribute is going to be affected by 

each cue; as if you fire two “colour only” cues then nothing is going 

to light up. 

The Pearl allows you to configure “workspaces” which store how the 

various windows are displayed on the external VDU and on the Touch 

Wing. On the Touch Wing, workspaces are stored and recalled from 

the touch buttons to right of the screen, or can be stored and recalled 

using the grey handle buttons on the main console. 

Note:  To enable and disable the VDU, turn the key to System and 

select [Display Options]. 

Pressing View (right of numeric keys) takes you into the View menu. 

From here you can set up what is shown on the Touch Wing and the 

external monitor.  

•  [Window Options] allows you to reposition and resize windows, 

and to move them between the Touch Wing and the external 

monitor. 

•  [Open Workspace Window] allows you to open and close all the 

possible windows. 

The View menu on the Pearl Titan application window lets you show 

various useful displays. Some of the options do nothing in this version 

of the software. 

If the layout of the fixture buttons, palettes or playbacks has become 

a bit mixed up during programming, you can use the Move function to 

move recorded items around and produce a better layout. When an 

item is moved, all links to other recorded items are retained. 

To move fixtures, palettes, groups and playbacks is very simple.
