To Recall a Snapshot Memory

Set the underpanel DISABLE switches M8 for

recall of just the mutes, VCA assignments, or both.

Set auto increment mode if required. If you do not

want certain channels overwritten by the snapshots

then make them automation safe using the edit

safes function.

Scroll to the memory number you want to recall.

Press RECALL M7 . The console settings are

immediately overwritten with the snapshot contents.

Setting Auto Increment on Recall

With auto increment turned on the display is

automatically advanced to the next number after

recall is actioned. This presents the next memory

for recall without the need to scroll up.

To enable auto increment hold down SHIFT M9

and press the DOWN key M6 until On is

displayed. Release the keys.

Pressing the key again while holding down shift

toggles between on and off. Release the keys at

the display required to turn this feature on or off.

Turning all Mutes On or Off

The RECALL switch has a shifted function that lets

you turn all console input and output mutes on or off

with a single action. This is very useful when you

want to clear the console ready for a new scene or

session. Alternatively, you could start with

everything muted and bring channels into the mix

when required.

This affects the current console settings including

channels made automation safe. It does not affect

the contents of the snapshot memories.

To clear all console Mutes

In normal console mode, hold down SHIFT M9

and press RECALL M7 . The recall switch flashes

and the display flashes CLr. Release shift and

press RECALL again to confirm. All channel

MUTES turn off.

To turn on (set) all console Mutes.

While in edit mode, hold down SHIFT M9 and

press RECALL M7 two times until the display

flashes Set. Release shift and press RECALL

again to confirm. All channel MUTES turn on.

To turn all Mutes on or off in a snapshot.

Recall the snapshot. Clear or set all console mutes

as above. Now store the snapshot again.

Using Snapshot Memories

The snapshot memories provide a powerful

automation tool. Decide first if and how you wish to

use the system:

Disabled. If you do not need to use the snapshots

then you should disable them by pressing both

DISABLE switches M8 . This prevents accidental

overwriting of your console settings. Alternatively,

you could use the snapshots simply to send MIDI

program messages to change patches on remote

equipment such as effects and signal processors.

Mutes only. This lets you recall the complete

console mute on/off settings, ideal for muting

unused and turning on wanted channels between

songs or bands, or for different microphone and

speaker combinations in theatre productions.

Mutes and VCA assignments. This adds a

powerful new level of automation. Attaching the

VCA group assignments to the snapshot system

means that which channels are assigned to the

VCA groups can change scene by scene or song by

song. For example, a VCA fader may be assigned

as ‘lead vocal’, another as ‘chorus’. A performer

may sing lead in one song and chorus in the next

while a different singer (channel) takes the lead.

The same group faders adjust the lead and chorus

levels. This may also apply when mixing different

bands on the same faders, or applying different

effects to different songs.

It takes a single press of the STORE key to store

the current console settings to a snapshot. You can

preview the memories to check their contents

without recalling them. However, you cannot edit

them unless you recall them first, change the

console settings and then press STORE again.

You can protect the snapshots from being

accidentally overwritten during performance by

disabling the store function. It can be re-enabled

again quickly if needed. If you do not need to use

the snapshots at all then make sure you press the

two underpanel DISABLE switches. This lets you

set the level of protection you want.

The snapshots can be recalled manually by

pressing the RECALL switch. If you want to recall

the snapshots in sequence using single key presses

then select auto increment.

For more automated control you can connect a

MIDI sequencer or show controller to sequence and

trigger the memories according to programmed

cues.

Refer also to the section on MIDI /RS232 for details

on archiving the console settings and memory

contents.
