Chapter 20: Snapshots 199
Locking Snapshots
Snapshots can be locked to prevent them from being accidentally
altered, overwritten or deleted.
Locked snapshots can be selected, recalled, moved and dupli-
cated. They cannot be overwritten, renamed, rescoped or other-
wise changed. New and duplicated snapshots default to unlocked.
Lock status can be changed at any time, including while in Pre-
view mode.
To lock a snapshot:
1 Go to the Snapshots page and click the Main tab.
2 In the Snapshot list, click the padlock icon at the far right of the
row for any item. The padlock icon illuminates to indicate the
snapshot is now locked.
3 Select multiple snapshots using Multi-Select or the Shift key
to lock or unlock multiple snapshots at once.
Once locked, operations that would otherwise affect the snapshot
cause the Status display and channel LCDs and Snapshot LCD to
temporarily show a message reminding you that the operation
cannot be applied while the snapshot is locked.
To unlock a snapshot:
 Click the lit padlock icon in the row for that snapshot.
Undo and Locked Snapshots
You can undo locking or unlocking a snapshot. When toggling
lock status for a selection of more than one snapshot, the entire
operation creates a single undo point (it does not track and pro-
vide undo for each individual snapshot in the selection).
Locking Snapshots and MIDI Record
When using the MIDI Record feature, all MIDI data captured up
to the point a snapshot is locked is preserved. If the MIDI Record
operation is still active at the time the snapshot is locked, record
mode is exited, the REC button becomes unavailable for that
snapshot, and subsequent incoming MIDI messages are not cap-
tured.
Available Operations with Locked Snapshots
The following table details which operations can or can not be
performed on a locked snapshot.
Clearing Snapshots
The contents of a snapshot can be cleared while keeping the snap-
shot in the Snapshot list and retaining its MTC information. This
lets you maintain a placeholder that you can use later to store new
data. You can undo Clear commands.
To clear the contents of a snapshot:
1 Select the snapshots you want to clear.
2 Click the Clear Snapshot Command button.
3 In the dialog box, click Clear to confirm. Cleared snapshots are
renamed “<Untitled>.”
Snapshot lock controls
Keep in mind that Undo can revert snapshots to “unlocked”
status. For example, if you change the scope of an unlocked
snapshot, lock the snapshot and then use Undo, the snapshot
is unlocked. Pressing Undo one more time will revert the
snapshot to its original scope.
