Enabling Snapshots for Automated Recall
With time code values assigned to snapshots, you can then enable
snapshots for recall with time code playback.
To enable snapshots for automated recall with MTC:
 Click the Time Code Recall Enable indicator on the right side
of the Snapshots list. The indicator turns bright green to indi-
cate that the snapshot is enabled for recall.
Chasing MIDI Time Code
With snapshots enabled for automated recall, the Chase MTC
function needs to be engaged to allow automated recall to occur.
To initiate automated recall of snapshots:
1 Click the Chase MTC button so that it is highlighted.
2 Begin MTC playback by starting the internal generator (if set
to MTC Generate) or the external device (if set to MTC Read).
When a recall-enabled snapshot’s time code value is reached, the
snapshot is recalled.
The Chase MTC button can be used to quickly take VENUE sys-
tem offline from MTC-triggered recall in performance in the
Event of a change in timing, such as a missed cue or dropped
verse. You can then advance manually to an appropriate snap-
shot, and re-enable Chase MTC.
Remote Control of Snapshot Recall
The VENUE system can be set to recall snapshots in response to
MIDI control messages sent from an external device such as an
AV controller system. You can set the system to respond to con-
trol messages sent on any one of 16 available MIDI channels.
Snapshots are recalled when their snapshot number (1–999) is re-
ceived in the form of MIDI Bank Select and Program Change
messages. (See Table 8 on page 233.)
To enable recall of snapshots from an external device:
1 Go to Options > Snapshots.
2 Under MIDI, select the Snapshots Respond to Channel op-
tion, and choose the MIDI channel from the corresponding
pop-up menu.
The system listens on the specified channel for Bank Select and
Program Change messages.
Snapshot enabled for automated recall with MTC
Snapshot modes can affect MTC recall. For more informa-
tion, see “MTC and Other Online Event Triggers” on
page 205.
VENUE systems do not chase up to the current time code
value. If you start playback in the middle of a snapshot se-
quence, any prior snapshots will need to be recalled manu-
ally to update the system before beginning time code play-
back. For more information, see “Selecting and Recalling
Multiple Snapshots” on page 194.
Snapshot MIDI respond option
The MIDI Snapshot Output Safe option (Options > Snapshots
page) does not affect this option. You can only turn off this
feature by de-selecting the “Snapshots Respond to Channel”
option.
Table 8. MIDI Bank and Program Numbers for Snapshots
Bank Program Snapshot Number
0 0–127 001–128
1 0–127 129–256
2 0–127 257–384
3 0–127 385–512
4 0–127 513–640
5 0–127 641–768
6 0–127 769–896
7 0–103 897–999
VENUE software stores Bank Select messages, so it is not
necessary to send a Bank Select message prior to every Pro-
gram Change message. You only need to send a Bank Select
message when you want to recall a snapshot in a different
bank from the previous snapshot.
