Choose Session and the session loads
completely, even though the device inventory does
not match the session. Devices called for by the
session and missing from the rack slot will appear
as not available (N/A). The session’s patching
does not change, but the I/O channels of
unavailable devices are not accessible and are
colored red.
If the saved session does not match current inventory, you will be offered two options
Option 1: Session
Option 2: Current
The saved session loads into the existing I/O inventory. It is replaced with a new session that reflects the current
device inventory. The mixer searches each rack slot, one slot at a time, for an assigned device that will match the
needs of the session. The device in the slot needn’t be precisely what the session requests, but it must have
sufficient I/O channels.
System Inventory is catalogued by slot, not by rack, so an appropriate device must be found in the same slot as the
session calls for. The original session’s patches for the I/O in a specific slot will be patched depending on the current
channel count. For example:
• The session calls for a DiGiGrid IOX device in slot 1, and another in slot 2 (12 I/O channels each).
• The current inventory has DiGiGrid MGBs in slots 1 and 2 (up to 128 I/O channels each).
• When you load the session into this inventory, all the patches will be intact. The first 12 I/O channels from each
MGB DiGiGrid interface will be patched, but the remaining channels are unused.
