SC 32 / SC 64

Philosophy - SC 32 / SC 64
The memory structure of the SC 32 / SC 64 consists of Attributes and Presets.
Attributes
Device attributes are global functions that affect the entire device such as the
sample rate. Most of the SC 32 / SC 64 attributes are found in the Utilities section
of the Tools menu (see Utilities) in the Device Window. There are some attributes
that are managed directly from the Device Window, like Mutes and Solos (see
Device Window below).
Device Presets
A Device Preset is a snapshot of the current state of the SC 32 or SC 64. It
includes the parameter values of all of the Processing Modules in the current
configuration. Device Presets are managed from the Device Window using the
Preset bar (see Device Window). The Device Window shows the Processing
Modules prominently as icons, where each icon represents the Processing
Module in that signal path location. Double clicking on these icons allows the
user access to the underlying parameters of these modules. Saving a Device
Preset saves every parameter of all processing functions shown.
Files
Besides the Device Presets and Attributes that are stored on the SC device,
System Architect provides additional file types that can be saved to the
computer, the Device file and Venue file. The Device file captures the entire unit
including all Presets stored and all Attributes of that device. The Venue File is the
final extension; the Venue file is a snapshot of the entire Venue with the current
Preset and Attributes of every device in the venue. The Venue file is saved from
the File menu of the Venue View.
Device Window
All Presets, Processing Functions and their Parameters, as well as device
Attributes of the SC 32 / SC 64 are accessed via the Device Window. In addition
to these functions, the Device Window File Menu also provides the capability of
saving Device files.
