16. Using different Avolites consoles
If you are used to other Avolites consoles, this section will help you to
cope with the differences between each console.
Shows from a Titan console can be loaded into any
other Titan console, but not into the Pearl Expert
running Classic software, or a Diamond 4, or a Pearl
2000/2004/2008 console, because these consoles have
a different show file format.
16.1 The console controls
Cues and Chases on the touch screen
In addition to the playback faders, you can store cues (memories)
and chases on the touch screen using the Playbacks window. For
playbacks which don’t need a fader, this gives you instant fingertip
access to an enormous number of effects.
Change button functions
You can change the functions of the blue and grey buttons on the
console to give you quick access to the functions you want, such as
Preload, Stop and Go for chases, Tap Tempo and so on. This feature
is called Key Profiles (see page 233).
16.2 Programming features in Titan
There are some great programming features in Titan consoles which
previously were only found on the Diamond 4.
Fixture Overlap, Attribute Overlap
The overlap functions allow you to sequence the way a cue plays
back. Normally when you fire a cue, everything would move to its
programmed setting all together. The Fixture Overlap feature causes
each fixture to move to the new setting in sequence, giving some
amazing roll or peel effects without any programming. Attribute
overlap is a similar effect with different attributes. When “busking”,
palettes can also be applied with overlap.
Fixture Exchange and Copy Fixture
The Fixture Exchange function enables you to replace fixtures which
are used in your show with alternative fixtures, retaining important
elements such as cue times, shapes and legends. It is very useful for
touring shows and venues with a high turnover of events, allowing
you to cope with different house rigs or equipment availability.
