CHAPTER SEVEN

7. Chases

In this chapter: how to record chases

• explanation of chases

• programming a chase

• running a chase

• setting speed and crossfade

• stacks and sequence control

• editing a chase

• sound activation of chases

As well as being used for recalling static memories, the playback faders

on the Pearl can also be used for recalling chases. All the same page

select, copy and delete functions are available.

7.1 What is a chase?

A chase is simply a memory with a sequence of static positions. Each

position is known as a “step”. It is normally used to flash lights in a

sequence without you having to keep pressing buttons, or to move

fixtures around. Chases can run automatically, or by pressing a “Go”

button. If you are using the Pearl for theatrical lighting, you can use a

chase to store cues for a show. The Pearl also has a dedicated theatrical

lighting mode which has a section of its own.

Don’t get shapes confused with chases. A shape simply moves one

attribute of the fixture around in a pattern. A chase allows you to define

each attribute of the fixture in a step-by-step controlled manner.

However, you will find that using shapes saves you a lot of work, and

you won’t have to program as many chases as you would on a

conventional lighting desk.

7.2 Recording a chase

To program a chase, you have to set up the lighting state for each step

of the chase. You can either set all the fixtures and dimmers manually

for each step, or you can use Include to load in the information from

memories you have already recorded. Remember, if you just turn on a

memory, it does not go into the programmer and won’t get saved as

part of a chase step.

Note: From the July 2004 version of Pearl software, you can now use

shapes in a chase.

Programming a chase

 Press the Chase button.

 Press the Swop button of the playback where you

want to store the chase.

 Press Clear, then set up the lighting for the first

step, either manually or by using “Include” on

existing memories (see page

31). You can save

Shapes in chase steps.
