M SNAPSHOT MEMORIES
A Note on Snapshot Mutes
The input and output channel mutes can be stored
and recalled from the snapshot memories. The
VCA group and Mute group mutes cannot.
However, those channels muted by the groups, and
not made automation safe, at the time the snapshot
is stored will be stored and recalled.
Recalling a snapshot does not turn off any mutes
which have been turned on by the Mute and VCA
groups. The groups always take priority.
Snapshots Explained
The mute and VCA assignment settings can be
stored in the console ‘snapshot’ memories. This is
similar to taking a ‘picture’ of the settings. These
can be recalled for scene or song changes during
live performance. The mutes can be disabled from
the snapshots if the system is to be used for VCA
assign changes only. Similarly the VCA assigns
can be disabled for mute-only changes. Both can
be disabled when the system is used for MIDI
program changes only, or to prevent overwriting the
console when the system is not needed. Patch
changes can be linked to external sequencers and
effects devices using MIDI for sophisticated show
control and archiving of the memories.
The required one of 128 snapshots is scrolled using
up/down keys, displayed on the three digit display,
and its contents recalled or overwritten with the
current console settings. A mode function sets
whether the recall auto increments or remains at the
displayed number. Snapshot settings may be
checked before recall using the preview function.
Channels made safe are not affected by the
snapshots. Memory data is retained on power
down. The same control section is used for the
MIDI functions.
