Bank Safe Mode for Input Safe Switches
Bank Safe mode is a global Input Safe switch option available
in the Option > Interaction page.
When Bank Safe mode is enabled, input channels and FX Re-
turns can be Bank Safed using their Input Safe switches on the
console, or on-screen. Bank Safed channels remain on the top
fader layer of the console regardless of the current active bank,
letting you temporarily “lock” the location of key input chan-
nels (such as a lead vocal, pulpit mics and similar) or
FX returns to maintain immediate access while working with
channels on a different layer.
For example, imagine 16 total input channels assigned to four
banks (A through D) of an imaginary 4-fader console.
Channel 6 on Bank B is then Bank Safed. Selecting the various
banks gives the following results:
Note that channels 2, 10, and 14 no longer appear on the con-
sole (though they remain accessible on-screen).
When an input channel or FX Return is removed from Bank
Safe, the input channel that would normally appear in that
fader location on the currently selected bank automatically
re-appears.
Bank Safe is only available for Input channels (Output chan-
nels cannot be Bank Safed). Bank Safe status for all channels is
stored with the Show file.
