Filter Mode
Overview
Filters are used to withhold (or mask) certain parameters or parameter attributes from
a preset or a cue, and to control what is recalled in a submaster.
It is important to note the exact meaning of the term “filter” as used in Virtuoso
console operation. When a parameter is not filtered (i.e. selected/highlighted at the
Filter screen), its data would be transferred during any subsequent store or recall
operations. When a parameter is filtered (i.e. not selected/highlighted), its data would
be withheld from a data transfer. This is represented graphically in the following
illustration:
Guidelines:
• The timing filter is globally applied, not individually for each parameter. When a
parameter is filtered, its time is also filtered. This is always true except if a
Selective Store is performed with only time selected. In this case you will get all
the times for all parameters.
• Filters affect selective store and selective recall commands (refer to “Selective
Store” on page 217 and “Selective Recall” on page 218).
• Filters have no affect on the recall of presets or update commands (refer to
“Update” on page 216).
• Filters have no affect on the playback of cues, unless those filters have been
applied to a submaster (refer to “Function Filter” on page 246).
• The Filter screen does not have to be visible for selected filters to affect console
operation. For this reason, the touch screen provides an indication that filters are
selected by highlighting them in the parameter grids located at the bottom left of
the touch screen, in the command-line display, and in the submaster displays.
