5.2 Global Presets
A global preset is a snapshot of a system’s routing state. The routing state is all
routings on all levels (including audio settings) for all enclosures in a system.
Once the system state has been defined with an “
RR
” Define Global Preset
command, the system state can then be restored at any time with the “
R
” Execute
Global Preset command. Global presets cannot be defined in X
N
Connect.
Note:
We strongly recommend keeping track of the numbers and the system
state routings used for each global preset. If another system state is assigned to a
previously used number, the former state will be automatically overwritten.
