Using Scenes
Presets
The system of presets provided by the DNS3000 allows you to store commonly-used process
settings, and manually recall them to channel 1 and/or channel 2 as required. This is done using
the Preset Manager page. When you create a preset, it records the settings (Level, Gain, Range
& On/Off) of the channel indicated by the Channel Selector buttons. When you later recall the
preset, it loads those settings into whichever channel(s) are indicated by the Channel Selector
buttons at the time of recall.
Note that a preset does not store information about the channel from which it was created.
Therefore, you can set up (say) channel 1, store it as a preset, and subsequently recall it to any
of channel 1, channel 2 or both channels. Note that, since the preset system always
stores/recalls settings from/to the selected channel(s), you cannot store or recall presets while
there is no channel selected.
Snapshots
The system of snapshots provided by the DNS3000 allows you to automate the loading of
process parameters against an external timecode source. This is done using the Snapshot
Manager page.
When you create a snapshot, the settings (Level, Gain, Range & On/Off) for both audio channels
are stored along with the current frame number. Those settings can then be automatically
recalled whenever that frame number is subsequently encountered.
Note that a snapshot always stores the settings of both channels and that, upon recall, the
settings are always restored to their respective channels. If a snapshot is recalled while the
channels are linked, then they are automatically unlinked unless the recalled settings for both
channels are identical.
Since a snapshot stores settings for both channels, it is not possible to create multiple
snapshots at the same frame number. Creating a snapshot at the same frame number as an
existing snapshot overwrites the old settings with the new.
Snapshot times are stored as a ‘number of frames since midnight’, but displayed in
HH:MM:SS:FF format. If you change timecode format, the displayed times of any snapshots will
change.
The BYPASS control is not stored in either presets or snapshots. If you want to create a preset
or snapshot that does no processing, you must do so using the on/off button.
