Presets
Warning!
It is important to state that presets cannot be added to a title which already contains
cues or mixes.
Important Note!
It is not possible to access the Presets page when MIX ON is selected.
Should you press SETUP when MIX ON is selected, the SETUP menu has a cross
displayed over the touch pad labelled Presets to indicate that the Presets facility is
unavailable at the present time.
If you press the MIX ON button, the amber LED is switched off, but the screen is
not re-drawn to make the Presets available. To access the Presets you must press the
SETUP button to leave the SETUP menu, and then press SETUP again to re-enter
the menu.
The SETUP menu then appears and shows that presets are available.

It does not store any information about the status of Automation MODES , i.e. read,
write, armed and manual.
Presets represent a convenient way to store important configurations. One user
might choose to set up a number of presets that will likely be used in the
recording/Mix process.
e.g. Useful groups of cuts.
•
All Drum Channels.
•
All Brass Channels.
•
All except the Rhythm Section channels.
A Preset can be recalled by pressing the highlighted bar over the required Preset on
the touch-screen.
Alternatively you may recall presets by assigning a timecode value to each one. If Playback
On is selected, then when that timecode value is reached, that preset will be recalled.
