Naming a Preset or Scene File
Since you can store up to 128 different presets in the System Processor, it can be helpful to
differentiate them with a name and a brief description. The information box in the center of the control
bar of the main window displays these details, as pictured below in figure 11.
The name you enter here becomes both the name of the preset when you store the configuration to
the device, and the name of the scene file when you save it to PC. The description will also be
displayed in all the dialog boxes that list presets or scene files. You can revise these details at any
time in either Live Mode or Design Mode.
To name a preset or scene file:
1. Click once with the left mouse button anywhere in the
Information Box.
2. The Information dialog opens.
3. Enter a name with a maximum of 15 characters and a
description with a maximum of 80 characters.
4. Click [OK].
5. The Information Box updates to reflect your changes.
Processor Configuration
There are two levels of working with processors: at the configuration level in the signal flow diagram, and within
each processor’s individual parameter window, which is accessed by double-clicking on the processor block.
This section covers working with processors in the signal flow diagram, and explains the differences between
the two main categories of processors.
Processor Types
You will be working with two main types of processors in the signal flow diagram: fixed and modular. The
primary distinction between them is that fixed processors are part of the gain structure of the P4800, and
are therefore part of every signal flow configuration. Modular processors are the processor blocks that you
select and position any way you'd like to suit your particular system requirements.
Fixed Processors
The gain and mix blocks are called fixed processors because their locations on the channel strips are
permanent. They cannot be deleted, moved, copied, or pasted. However they can be linked, and their
settings can be saved and recalled.
Modular Processors
The modular processor blocks are called modular because they can be placed on any empty slot
(excepting crossovers, splitters, and the ducker), and freely moved, copied, pasted and deleted. Each
processor block on the signal flow diagram functions independently. When you open the parameter
window of a modular processor, you are changing settings for that block only, except under the
following conditions.
§ It is half of a stereo pair.
§ It is assigned it to a link group.
