Snapshots
A Snapshot stores selected channel functions, switch states, fader and pan settings, and routings, for a selected number of channels.
System 5 provides easy methods to store:
• an individual function parameter or switch state;
• the current Knobset function;
• all functions from one or more channels;
• all functions from all channels currently on console surface;
• all functions in all channels in the Mixer Model.
There are 240 Snapshot storage locations, but the number that can actually be stored depends on their content. Only a small
number can be stored if they all use the largest console configuration and store all settings for all channels.
