Next to each snapshot there is an Edit link at the very right of the snapshot
list. By clicking this button, you will put the console into the ‘partial snapshot
filter edit’ mode. Then you will see the same edit dialog box on the screen as
when editing the snapshot filter. Also the desk doesn’t show your audio set-
tings anymore, but the mask defining the focus of that partial snapshot. You
may now press
ISO
on one or more channels, create a gang, and add multiple
channels to the partial snapshot, or touch and press any other control. The
same mechanism will apply as when editing the snapshot filter. Upon clicking
the Edit link again, you leave the edit mode, and the console is back to display
normal audio settings.
When you are not in the edit mode of the partial snapshots mask, you are also
able to copy and paste masks across from one snapshot to one or multiple
others. Simply right-click on the Edit link of a snapshot mask and use the
standard windows commands.
4.4.4.6 Typical Applications
Isolate one or more channels from being changed by upcoming snapshot recalls:
Press
ISO
on the corresponding channels. The user may create a gang first in
order to isolate multiple channels at a time.
Isolate just the EQ of one or more channels from being changed by upcoming snapshot recalls:
Press and hold ISO in order to enter the edit snapshot filter mode, indicated
by magenta-colored frames within all Vistonics elements of this channel. All
LEDs will now display their isolation status but not the audio . E.g. if the EQ
button is lit at this time, the EQ is isolated. In order to change the isolation
status, press the corresponding key, touch the fader or knob while still holding
the ISO key. The word ‘ISOLATE’ will now show up in the generic display
area, indicating that some element is currently isolated. You may also use a
gang in order to isolate one element of multiple channels.
De-Activate the whole snapshot filtering mechanism on the console
Press FILTER OFF on the Control Bay, or click on the snapshot filter icon in
the toolbar to de-activate the snapshot filtering while keeping its definition
for later use.
Create Snapshots, that contain only some of the channels, but not the whole console
Set the ‘New snapshot includes:’ option to ‘Gang’. Whenever a gang is
present, only the gang will be ‘part of the snapshot’. If there is no gang, the
whole console is affected by the recall of freshly created snapshots. A snaps-
hot not affecting the whole channel is graphically marked by a checkmark
(
