In order for the console to know how exactly to control your fixtures, which channel does what and in which range, there is a system called personalities.As of the time of writing this, there are some different formats, the most important being (for you as an Avo fan ) the d4 files.There is already an extensive fixture library included with Titan, and you can get an updated version which is constantly extended at.
However, sometimes you dont find what you need, or you are just curious, or you want to tweak the existing personalities. This section of the wiki is intended to help you in doing so. However do not forget to file a request at: in doing so you make sure this one will get added to the library and will be available to all other users, too. If you have 60 faders of dimmers on Page 0, you dont want to be having to go back and forth across 4 pages of presets just to select other fixtures by reaching across the faders. Perhaps thats a bit harsh, but the well loved Avo desk seems to inhabit more FOH control positions than any other. ![]() The launch of the Pearl Tiger at PLASA2007 brought the Avolites way within reach of smaller shows and budgets. While many people can use a Pearl, a lot of the best features of the desk can seem hidden in the quirky Avo system. Particularly if, like me, you are not the kind of person who likes to learn by reading User Manuals but prefers the push buttons until it breaks school of personal advancement. A lot of the concepts are also common to the larger desks including the Pearl Expert and Diamond4 (though the interface of the D4 is a bit different). Make sure that you can patch up some heads, bosh a look onto a submaster, hit CLEAR and play it back. ![]() Avolites Fixture Library Full Advanced PearlI would hesitate to call this a full Advanced Pearl Programming Tutorial but more of a heads up on what the desk has to offer to to advance your skills as a Pearl operator. You might know that you can toggle the record mode on the the Pearl By Fixture or By Channel in the User Settings screen (hold down the AVO key and select User Settings softkey by the screen). Having set up your look, hit the MEMORY button but before selecting a playback notice that the top softbutton B says Record Mode. This button toggles the recording mode while you are working which is useful if you are recording different types of memory or using By Channel to edit existing ones. This can be done quickly after saving the cue by hitting MEMORY again, toggling the record mode and the EXITing out before actually recording anything. Say you are live in show and need to make a change to the position of a moving head ( for the sake of argument, you havent recorded this position as a palette). Changing the PT and merging (MEMORY SUBMASTER- Merge Memory) the data in By Fixture mode overwrites the position data for that head (albeit with the same values). This adds only the Pan and Tilt information in the Programmer, leaving the rest of the cue untouched. You can keep adding these programmer values to any subs that you need to before hitting CLEAR (quick, theres a cue coming up) and restoring full show control. Set up your first step CHASE Select Playback Swop Set FixtureChannel (soft A) Hit Swop to record step. If the first step should just change position of the previous look but the next step needs to set a whole new look, the first step can just be By Channel PT information. Step 2, the whole fixtures step, makes damn sure that you get what you asked for (sometimes referred to as a Block cue). This kind of consideration is important outside of a theatre stack style, where every cue comes in a known sequence. The Pearl supports fixture Groups and a couple of other tools such as Odd and Even selection. New Avolites users often use the fixture buttons (blue Preset Swop) to call up fixtures. Using Groups speeds up the process and gives your fingers time to do other things while hovering in the same area of the console, particularly when using multiple pages of fixtures.
