As with shapes, the order in which you select the fixtures sets how the
fan effect works. The fixtures you select first and last will be the ones
which change most. If you use a group to select the fixtures, the order
you selected the fixtures when you recorded the group is used.
The fan effect, while normally used on pan or tilt attributes, can be
applied to any attribute.
1> Select the fixtures you want to fan.
2> Press the blue Fan button.
3> Select the attribute you want to Fan using the attribute bank
buttons.
4> Set the amount of fan using the attribute wheels.
5> Turn off Fan by pressing the Fan button again when you have
finished.
Fan mode needs to be used on at least 4 fixtures to give good effects.
If you have an odd number of fixtures, the central fixture will not move
in fan mode.
Press the Fan button again to leave Fan mode. Any effects you have set
will remain in the programmer.
• It’s fairly easy to accidentally leave Fan mode turned on and be
very confused about why the wheels aren’t working properly, so
turn it off as soon as you have completed the effect.
3.2 Advanced options
3.2.1 The ML menu button
When the Pearl is at the top menu, the ML Menu button opens the
Moving Light menu which contains options to Locate Fixture (same as
the Locate button) and to run Macros on fixtures such as Lamp On,
Lamp Off, Reset etc. The Align Fixtures and Flip functions as described
above are also in this menu.
If another menu is loaded, the ML Menu button latches the current
menu. Press Exit to get back to the top menu so that you can access
the Moving Light menu.
