System Settings 229
Contrast
The soft knob “Contrast” lets you set the contrast of the display. Adjust this setting if you find
the display hard to read under certain circumstances.
Brightness
The soft knob “Brightness” controls the brightness of the display.
White Balance
The soft knob “White Balance” adjusts the white balance of the display.
Line Frequency
The soft knob “Line Frequency” lets you choose between a line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz.
The Noise Gate will use this setting to eliminate ground hum, the frequency of which is based
on the physical location the PROFILER is being used at. “50 Hz (auto)” and “60 Hz (auto)”
will detect the line frequency automatically.
Brightness Page
On the next page, you can set the brightness separately for the color LEDs, the buttons, the
LED collars and the TAP button.
Quick Function
PROFILER
Stage offers
dedicated EDIT
and MORPH
buttons instead
On this page, you can determine the function of the QUICK button using the soft knob “Quick
Function”. This function allows you to tailor the QUICK button as a shortcut to particular
functions like the “Snapshot Browser”, returning to last page edited (“Quick Edit Page”) and
simulating a Morph Button.
By default, in the “Quick Edit Page”, the QUICK button returns to the most recently used
module or section edit page, and from there you can change edit pages by simply hitting
module and section buttons. This is a very effective method to tweak a Rig. You can leave
this advanced editing mode via EXIT.
Rig Autoload
On the same page, you can use the soft button “Rig Autoload” to activate automatic load of
any Rig selected in the browse screen. The “Load” soft button on the Browse Screen will
disappear when you activate “Rig Autoload”.
Performance
Load
If “Performance Load” (“Perf.Load”) is set to “Slot 1” or “Keep Slot”, the corresponding Slot of
a Performance will be loaded automatically as soon as you select another Performance via
Remote, Stage or MIDI. By default, “Performance Load” is set to “Pending”. This way you
can keep playing your current Rig while you are navigating through the Performances via
PROFILER Remote, Stage or MIDI until you finally select a Slot.
