two playbacks applying shapes to the same fixtures, this option
allows you to merge the shapes or override previous shapes with
the latest one)
6> D [Set memory to mode x] sets the current memory mode of the
playback. To activate options A & B, the memory mode needs to
be Mode 1 or 2. This is described in the next chapter.
7> E [Toggle shape offset] allows you to remove the offset caused by
a shape when it is stopped. When you turn off a memory with a
shape, the fixtures will be offset by the last state of the shape.
Setting this option to “Removed” causes the fixture to return to its
programmed settings. Setting this option to “Remains” leaves the
shape offset in place.
The following table explains how the Size/Speed Static and Timed
options work, and how the memory mode affects these options.
Memory mode Size option (softkey A) Speed option (softkey B)
0 Static: Shape starts at
recorded size when fader
goes above trigger point
Timed: as static
Static: Shape starts at
recorded speed when
fader goes above trigger
point
Timed: as static
1 Static: As mode 0
Timed: Shape size grows
from zero to recorded
size as LTP channels fade
in (set by LTP fade time)
Static: As mode 0
Timed: Shape speed
rises from zero to
recorded speed as LTP
channels fade in (set by
LTP fade time)
2 Static: As mode 0
Timed: Shape size grows
from zero to recorded
size as fader position
moves from 0 to 100%
Static: As mode 0
Timed: Shape speed
rises from zero to
recorded speed as fader
position moves from 0 to
100%
5.3.2 Updating the shape file
If Avolites release an updated shape file, you will need to load it into
the Pearl. The shape file SG.DAT can be found on any personality disk,
which you can download from the Avolites website (see page
215).
Insert the floppy disk into the drive, turn the key to System, press G
[Utilities] then E [Load shape file].
