Snapshot Scope GUI
Please refer to the screenshot below Note the <HIDE SCOPE> button, if the screen on the Vi isn’t showing
the scope information, press the <SHOW SCOPE> button.
The Snapshot Scope GUI allows the Snapshot Scope
filter to be edited globally – by function block or
parameter group, and by channel. Shortcut buttons
in the GUI allow <ALL> or <NONE> of the parameter
groups to be quickly selected or deselected in the
Scope.
The elements displayed are divided into three
categories: Input Channel (blue block border), Output
Channel (red block border) and FX (grey block border).
Within these categories, the parameters are grouped by
function blocks.
Each Cue has its own Snapshot Scope, and the state
of the Snapshot Scope for each Cue can be seen by
viewing the Snapshot Scope GUI whilst scrolling through
or recalling the Cues.
Note that the Cues do not have to be recalled to do this.
The Scope of each Cue can be easily edited by simply touching the Scope fields, to select a whole block,
or pressing & holding, to zoom a block onto the VST encoders below, where the encoder touch or VST
buttons are used to select parameter groups within the block.
Illuminated Green mini-icons in the GUI show which parameter groups are enabled for recall in the
corresponding snapshot. Note that these mini icons do not necessarily correspond exactly to the ones
in the actual channel strips, but instead represent Parameter Groups, e.g. in the Dynamics block there is
a Gate parameters group which represents the individual channel parameters of threshold, attack, hold,
release and range: these individual parameters cannot be enabled for recall individually, they have to be
selected as a group of parameters.
In the disabled state, the mini-icons are displayed in a low-intensity colour corresponding to their function
(eg: blue for inputs, green for dynamics, etc), but this changes to bright green in all cases when the
parameter group is enabled.
At the top left of each function block there is a green indicator LED. It indicates if all, some or none of the
parameters in the block are selected.
Storing changes to Scope Settings
Storing changes to the Snapshot Scope is NOT done in the same way as for other desk parameters: ie: it
is not necessary to press the <UPDATE SNAPSHOT> button to save the changes made to Scope into the
currently selected Cue. Instead, the changes made to the Scope are immediately saved to the Cue as they
are made.
When a new Cue is created, by touching the <NEW CUE> button, the Snapshot scope settings used for the
new Cue will be the same as are currently displayed in the Scope GUI. They can then be edited after the Cue
is created.
