7.2.4 Manually controlling the steps of a chase
You can pause a chase, if the chase is connected to the wheels, by
pressing the Stop button next to the wheels. Press the red Go button to
resume playback of the chase.
While the chase is stopped you can use the
← and → buttons (below
the ML Menu button) to move to the next or previous step.
You can also configure the blue and grey buttons of the playback
handle to be Stop and Go. This uses the Key Profiles function.
1> Turn the key to System and press D [Key Profiles].
2> Press B [Edit Profile] and then press the profile you want to edit
(normally this would be “Run” for run mode or “Program” for
program mode).
3> Press E [Chases] then choose either the Blue key or the Grey key.
4> Select Go or Stop from the function menu. Then press Exit and set
the function for the other key if required.
5> Turn the key back to Program or Run to continue using the
console.
7.2.5 Changing chase direction
The arrow buttons to the right of the Connect button set the direction
of the connected chase. The
↔ double-ended arrow button sets
“bounce” mode where the chase will run to the end then reverse. The
Review key sets the chase to Random.
7.2.6 Jumping to a step
You can jump directly to a step in a chase by pressing the Connect
button, then typing in the desired step number, then pressing Enter or
softkey A. Alternatively at the top level menu you can type the step
number then press Connect.

7.3.1 Opening a chase for editing
You can open a chase for editing by pressing Chase then the Swop
button of the chase. This does not affect any existing cues in the chase.
You can then save new cues at the end by pressing the Swop button
just like normal recording.
7.3.2 Editing a chase using Unfold
The Pearl has a powerful chase editing system. The Unfold button
places each cue in a chase on one of the playback faders, allowing you
to fire and edit each cue individually as if it was a stand-alone cue.
Unfold also allows you to set individual timing for cues in the chase.
1> Press the blue Unfold button, then the Swop button of the chase
to be edited.
2> The first 20 cues of the chase are loaded into the playback faders.
3> Raise a playback fader to output the contents of that cue (fade
times will operate as programmed).
