abled).
For more information on enabling events for Tap Tempo, see
“Tap Tempo for Plug-ins” on page 225.
Adding Pro Tools Markers Using
Snapshots
With VENUE Link enabled, you can set individual snapshots to
create a new Marker in the Pro Tools Timeline. While Pro Tools
is recording, whenever that snapshot is recalled, a new Marker is
created and named according to the recalled snapshot.
Displaying the Marker Icon
To show Markers in the Snapshots list:
 Right-click anywhere in the Snapshots list and choose Show
Markers
.
A lit Markers icon indicates that recalling that snapshot will cre-
ate a new Marker in the Pro Tools timeline when Pro Tools is re-
cording.
Snapshot Options
Crossfade Time
You can set the X-fade (crossfade) time for the channel faders be-
tween snapshots from 0–99.9 seconds, in 0.1 second increments.
This value determines the fade time, or the time it takes for the
faders to move to their new positions when a snapshot is recalled.
All other controls are unaffected by the crossfade time, and are
updated instantly when a snapshot is recalled. Each snapshot may
be assigned its own crossfade time. In addition, crossfades will
continue through a subsequent snapshot recall as long as the
crossfading channels are not scoped in the incoming snapshot.
Default Crossfade Time
The default crossfade time assigned to new snapshots can be set
with this option, with a possible range of 0–99.9 seconds.
To set the Default Crossfade Time:
1 Go to the Options page and click the Snapshots tab.
2 Under Snapshot General Preferences, enter a value or drag in
the text box and press Enter.
Crossfade Bypass
Snapshot crossfades can be up to 99.9 seconds. You can quickly
bypass (cancel) a crossfade and immediately advance to the
stored snapshot fader settings in order to speed up rehearsals, or
whenever on-stage action moves faster than a programmed cross-
fade.
To bypass a snapshot crossfade:
 Recall the same snapshot at any point during the crossfade.
Doing so recalls the entire contents of that snapshot, in addi-
tion to bypassing the crossfade. This is equivalent to recalling
the snapshot with an effective crossfade time of 0 seconds.
Any scoped parameters which were manually changed during
the crossfade time will be reset to the values stored in the snap-
shot.
Special Cases for Crossfade Bypass
Incoming MIDI Commands
The snapshot crossfade is not bypassed if a MIDI Program
Change message recalling the same snapshot is received during
the crossfade.
MTC
The snapshot crossfade is not bypassed if a MTC trigger recalling
the same snapshot occurs during the crossfade.
Multiple Simultaneous Crossfades
The crossfade can be bypassed for the most recently recalled
snapshot only.
Preview Mode
If you enter Preview mode in between Recall commands, the of-
fline (Preview mode) crossfade will be bypassed; the online
crossfade will not.
