Keeping control of the many attributes of your moving lights is pretty simple and the desk has capabilities way beyond most of the shows it will ever need to do. The ability to “busk” a whole show, having programmed a series of building blocks such as colours, gobos, moves and chases, is where the Pearl Tiger beats any desk of it’s size hands down. The Shape Generator enables you to quickly build lighting effects using a great “quick and dirty” interface. Programming sweeps, circles and colour rainbows is pretty tiresome using “old fashioned” techniques and the generator makes it quick and easy. You can even playback these shapes, live, at different sizes and speeds depending on your submaster fader position. The RollerĪt the centre of the “Avolites Way” is the Roller. Nothing more than a moving surface that controls the playback pages, Avolites operators everywhere like nothing better than being able to draw descriptive icons on a piece of tape with a Sharpie marker to remind them what each fader does. And if you think the “tape and marker” technique is old fashioned in the age of the microchip, next time you are squinting at a dirty keyboard trying to work out what name to give that gobo look – think again. The latest generation of Avolites desk’s have the ability to save and recall more than one show, either using the internal drive or a USB stick. If you have recurring rigs and shows this is much better than carrying a bag full of Floppy Disks, some of which got broken during the last get-out. All the available moving light personalities are stored on the desk – another bonus if you change shows more times than your underwear. The Pearl Tiger show files are also compatible with the Pearl 2004/2008 and the Pearl Expert, making it easy to transfer to another hired in/borrowed Avo desk.
