Working Offline
The eMotion ST mixer can be pre-configured or modified offline. Virtual devices can be assigned to the racks,
allowing for detailed preparation of patching, channel settings, plugins presets, mixer configuration—the entire
system—without a server or I/O devices. A session that has been prepared offline—whether on the host computer, a
laptop, or a tablet—is a complete session and is fully operational when a server and I/Os are added.
1. Load the session you wish to work with or start with a blank session.
2. From the Offline Devices drop-down menu, select the device you wish to use “virtually.” It will appear in the I/O
Devices racks like any hardware device. Its text will appear red and the icon will read “Offline.”
3. Set up your session. Offline device inputs and outputs are available in the Patch menu and in any mixer
window where devices can be routed.
4. Configure all channels, auxes, internal routing, and plugins in the same manner as devices that are physically
present. When the session is opened on a mixer system with I/Os and a server, the devices that were
configured offline will maintain all settings, even those dependent on external connections that were not
present during offline configuration.
