Alt Scene Buttons A1 and A2
These buttons allow the recall of a scene assigned to the switch with a single button push. To assign a
scene to either ALT1 or ALT2, recall the scene you wish to assign. Press the STORE button, the right
hand screen will now read either NEW or OVERSTORE. Press the ALT button that you wish to assign
the scene to, the screen will read OK. The scene will now be recalled when ever that ALT button is
pressed. To place a different scene to the button follow the above procedure and the new scene will
automatically be overstored to the ALT button pressed.
Using the system - general hints and tips.
Setting up a console can be a laborious process, setting it up separately for multiple scenes could
be worse!
Make use of the facilities to minimise the work. If you have already programmed in a scene which
is similar to the one you wish to create, RECALL it, make the required alterations then dial up the number
of the new scene you wish to create and STORE it.
Backing up.
At the end of a rehearsal session it is good practice to save the data entered to the RAM card. By
using three or four RAM cards and rotating them you will always have the last three or four sessions
saved ready to be reloaded in an emergency.
