If you are used to the Pearl Expert or standard Pearl consoles, this 

section will help you to make the move to the Titan operating system. 
If it all gets too much, or if you need to run a standard Pearl Expert 

show, you can reboot the Titan console into the normal Pearl Expert 

mode. See section 1.7 on page 28. 

Note:  Pearl Expert Titan shows aren’t compatible with the standard 

Pearl Expert, or a standard Pearl console, because the show 

file has a different format.  

The operation of the controls and LCD is significantly different to the 

normal Pearl. This can be a bit disorientating – it looks like a Pearl but 

it isn’t! Don’t be put off. There are some great new features to work 

with once you’ve got over the shock. 
LCD 
The LCD has a streamlined new look. The softkeys have different 

appearances for different functions (see page 19) and some things 

have moved around. The LCD now displays fixture attributes (like 

colours and gobos) as you change the wheels which is handy for 

finding the attribute you want. An Intensity Grid shows which fixtures 

are lit up. 
You can lock any menu (to keep it active) by pressing the ML Menu 

button. The ML Menu button only shows its menu at the top level 

screen. 
VDU 
The VDU screen now uses configurable windows to show you what 

the console is doing, including a Head-Up Display (HUD), Visualiser, 

Playback View and Cue View. You can save different window setups 

as a Workspace which can be instantly recalled. 
Touch Wing 
The optional Touch Wing gives you access to labelled touch buttons 

for fixtures, palettes, shapes and attributes. It also has three control 

wheels for attribute setting and 10 buttons for recording key macros. 
Cues and Chases on preset faders 
You can now store cues (memories) and chases on the preset faders 

as well as on the playback faders. This gives you instant fingertip 

access to an enormous number of effects. 
Change button functions 
You can change the functions of the blue and grey buttons on the 

console to give you quick access to the functions you want, such as 

Preload, Stop and Go for chases, Tap Tempo and so on. This feature 

is called Key Profiles (see page 119). 
You can also change the way the key LEDs behave to give you 

different indications such as Empty Handle, Selected and In
