Scene Recall Safes
lets you make selected input
channels, mix and DCA masters 'safe' so that their
parameters are not overwritten when a Scene is recalled.
Hold down the Surface SCENE
SAFES
key and press the
strip
MIX
keys on channels you want to make safe. The
SAFE icon in the strip LCDs turns on for channels made
safe. You can also right click the MIX or SEL button in the
channel windows in
Editor
to access the Safe setting.
Examples of channels to make Safe:
Walk-in music
- Background music such as CD or iPod
played while the audience arrives or while the next band is
being set up on stage. You could recall the Scene for the
band without interrupting the intermission music.
Continuity channels
- One or more presenters talking to
the audience while another act is getting ready on stage.
Recalling the Scene for the act will not affect or interrupt the
presenters.
Mute (DCA) Groups
- It can be useful to set up a few
‘safe’ mute groups to mute a band or act during changeover.
Making them safe prevents any unexpected noises on
recalling a Scene where channels were left unmuted after
sound check.
Preamp Safes
The mic preamp is automatically included
in channels made safe using the SAFES key. If you do not
want to make the preamp safe, for example because you
have patched it to more than one input channel, you can
change its safe status using the
Preamp
screen
Safe
button.
Alternatively you can make just the preamp Safe, for
example if you have had to make a gain change to a preamp
which is recalled in several Scenes.
Safes Map
Selected parameters on selected channels
and masters can be made safe from Scene recall from within
the Scenes Safes page. Touch the Safes button to open the
page.
Navigate the tabs to find the parameters and channels you
wish to make safe. Touch a channel number in the left
column to make all parameters for that channel safe. Touch
a parameter button in the top row to make that parameter
safe across all channels. Use the buttons at the top to set or
reset all items on that page.
The Patchbay item can be found in the Other tab.
MixRack Boot Scene
For fixed installations where it is
required that parameters are reset to a known starting point
when the system is powered up or restarted. This affects
MixRack parameters only, not the Surface. Any Scene with
all or partial parameters may be set as the Boot Scene from
the
MIXRACK SETUP / Mixer Pref / Preferences
screen.
The
Home
screen makes it clear when this option is
enabled. Only set a Boot Scene if it is needed.
