For each type of fixture, the Pearl has a “personality” file which tells it 

how to control the fixture, which channel is the dimmer (HTP) 

channel, and a large amount of other fixture-specific information. 

When you patch each fixture, you tell the Pearl which personality to 

use for it. 
The Pearl holds a wide range of fixture personalities internally in the 

“personality cache”, but you might find a fixture it doesn’t know 

about. This section explains what you do when this happens. 

The Avolites website lists all fixtures for which personalities have 

been created. You should look here first if the console does not 

contain a personality for your fixture. The address is

All available fixture personalities are listed down the left side of the 

screen. You can use the boxes on the top left to filter the list to show 

fixtures from specific manufacturers, or fixtures available for a certain 

console, or to search for a specific fixture name. 

Note:  The Pearl Expert Titan uses different personalities to the 

normal Pearl Expert software. Ensure you have selected “Pearl 

Expert Titan” in the “Desk” field 

Click on the fixture name to open the details in the right hand 

window.  This shows all the personalities available for that fixture 

type (if you have entered the console type on the top left, only 

personalities for that console will be displayed). 
If there is a personality listed for your fixture on the Pearl Expert
