tomation Safe status of the channel(s). The Safe button lights

ing, duplicating, deleting, or moving them.

shot.

4 Set the scope by doing the following:
• For each parameter you want to be affected when the snap-
shot is recalled, click the corresponding

so that it is scoped (displayed in red).
• For each channel you want affected when the snapshot is re-
called, click the channel fader so that it is scoped (displayed
in red).
