Navigation Bar

  We’ve already discussed 
“Disconnected” in the Wireless 
setup, but why would you ever work  
offline? Simply put, you could  
create presets, snapshots and  
shows while en route to a gig or 
show off the awesomeness of  
your new mixer to friends without 
regard to the local surroundings.

  Tap Tools (again) to return you to 
the previous view. 

Navigation Bar: Presets

  Tap the Presets button to display 
a popover similar to what may be 
seen in Figure R. Here you may 
select from a list of factory presets 
for the current channel and each 
DSP type, as well as save and recall 
user presets. As seen in Figure R, 
the Presets button illuminates green 
when engaged. Tap Presets (again) 
to return you to the previous view. 

Navigation Bar: Snapshots

  Finally, residing on the far  
right of the Navigation Bar is  
the Snapshots button.

  Tap Snapshots to display a 
popover similar to what may be 
seen in Figure S. This is where you 
load and save shows and snapshots 
and also configure channel safes.  
As seen in Figure S, the Snapshots 
button illuminates green when 
engaged. Snapshot 0 resets the 
DL1608 to its default state. Tap 
Snapshots (again) to return you    
to the previous view. 

  Notice that on all of these images 
that the Navigation Bar is still 
presented, regardless of what view 
or popover may dominate the iPad.

  All features of the Navigation Bar 
are discussed at greater length in  
the Reference Guide.
