Recall and Edit an Existing Snapshot

Recall a snapshot to pre-

view its settings and make any adjustments necessary, being
sure to re-store the snapshot before exiting Preview mode.
Storing a snapshot in Preview mode does not affect previously
stored MIDI or Plug-in data (if any).

Edit Channel and Scope Settings

Edit any channel settings, pa-

rameters, or scope associated with the snapshot being pre-
viewed. The Snapshots page displays the current snapshot
name in italics to indicate that at least one parameter has been
changed, and the Channel Faders show you the previous level
for each channel in bright red. Scope Data Type buttons and
Channel Scope functionality remain live and active at all
times (in other words, changes made to these controls while
in Preview mode will remain once Preview mode is exited).

Add and Edit MIDI or Plug-In Data

To add MIDI or plug-in data

associated with the snapshot, click the Add button in the
MIDI or Plug-Ins snapshot list. With plug-ins this adds the
current online plug-in settings to the snapshot. If you need to
update pre-existing MIDI or plug-in data associated with a
snapshot, right-click the corresponding entry in the
MIDI/Plug-ins view of the Snapshots page and choose the Up-
date option (this option will include the plug-in rack position,
and the name of the associated snapshot). For more informa-
tion, see “Plug-Ins and MIDI in Preview Mode” on page 187.

To undo an action made while in Preview mode, click the

Undo button on-screen. (For more information about Undo
in Preview mode, see “Making Changes to Snapshots” on
page 184.)

To update the currently previewed snapshot but remain in

Preview mode, press or click Store.

Continue previewing and editing settings as needed (all

snapshot functions are available in preview mode).

When you are finished and need to exit Preview mode, press

F1 (or click the on-screen Preview button).

Undo and Preview Mode

In Preview mode, you can Undo actions applied to the Snap-
shot List (such as Recall, Store, New and Duplicate) without af-
fecting the online mix.

Changing Console Settings in Preview Mode

D-Show tracks any changes to console settings or to the Snap-
shot List while in Preview mode, but only Snapshot List ac-
tions create an Undo point. Choosing Undo will undo the last
action you took while in Preview mode, up to a maximum of
100 levels of Undo. Any changes to console settings made af-
ter the last Preview action are also undone (the Snapshot
screen is returned to its exact state prior to the action that cre-
ated the Undo point).

Changing the Snapshot List in Preview Mode

Changes made to the Snapshot List are automatically tracked
and available for Undo, regardless of whether Preview mode is
enabled or not. This includes any Recall of snapshots triggered
by incoming MIDI or MTC while in Preview mode.

For example, if a MIDI Snapshot Recall occurs while you are in
Preview mode, the online mix will be updated with that snap-
shot. Pressing Undo immediately after that Recall will undo
that Snapshot recall and revert the online mix to its state prior
to the Undo.

Consider turning off the Chase MTC option while in Preview
mode to disable all MIDI recall of snapshots. In addition, you
can always use the D-Show History feature to recover from
any unexpected results.

Changing MIDI or Plug-In Data in Preview Mode

Changes made to MIDI and Plug-In data cannot be undone.
For more information, see “Adding MIDI Messages to Snap-
shots” on page 189 and “Adding Plug-In Data to Snapshots”
on page 190.

Updating snapshot plug-in data

Exiting Preview mode without storing will discard the
changes made while in Preview mode (Preview mode is
cleared each time you exit). You must explicitly store
changes to update the associated snapshots.

Multiple levels of Undo are available.

Take advantage of D-Show Tool Tips in the banner display
to confirm what action the Undo button will revert. See
“Undoing Snapshot Commands” on page 188.
