Creating Snapshots
Snapshots can be created at any time to store the current channel
and parameter settings. You can create new snapshots manually
in the Snapshots page, or by duplicating existing snapshots to
build your mix as you work.
Creating New Snapshots
When you create a snapshot, it captures the current state of all
system settings.
To create a new snapshot:
1 Set the parameters you want to store in the snapshot.
2 Click New. The new snapshot appears in the Snapshots list.
3 For each channel you want affected when the snapshot is later
recalled, click the channel so that it is scoped (displayed in
red).
4 For each parameter of the scoped channels you want affected
when the snapshot is later recalled, click the corresponding
Data Type button so that it is scoped (displayed in red).
Naming Snapshots
New snapshots are automatically numbered and appear as “<Un-
titled>” in the Snapshots list. Snapshots can be renamed at any
time. You can undo snapshot naming operations.
To name a snapshot:
1 Do one of the following:
• Double-click the snapshot name in the Snapshots list or the
current target name display.
– or –
• Right-click the snapshot name and choose
Rename.
2 Type a name for the snapshot.
3 Press Enter on the keyboard or click another snapshot name.
Adding Notes to Snapshots
You can add notes to snapshots at any time. You do not need to
store the snapshot to save the notes in the snapshot.
To add or edit comments for a snapshot:
1 Double-click the Notes header or click the list icon to expand
the Notes field.
2 Double-click in the Notes field and enter text.
Adding MIDI, Plug-In, and Media Data to
Snapshots
MIDI, plug-in, or Media (USB playback/record) data is not cap-
tured when a snapshot is created. This data is added to existing
snapshots directly from the MIDI/Plug-Ins/Media lists.
Use the first snapshot in a Show file to establish the basic set-
tings for a performance. For subsequent snapshots, use the
scope controls and Recall Safe settings to selectively recall
only those controls that need to change between sections or
songs, leaving other controls unaffected by snapshot recall.
You can undo the New snapshot command at any time by
pressing the Undo Snapshot Command button.
Adding channels to the scope of a snapshot
To quickly select (or de-select) banks of channels, click their
blue labels below the Channel Faders in the Snapshots page.
Click to select/de-select bank
Plug-ins included in the scope of a snapshot
When you create a new snapshot it automatically inherits the
channel and data type scope of the currently targeted snap-
shot.
See “Adding MIDI, Plug-In, and Media Data to Snap-
shots” on page 206.
