User Manual
Input 3 to track 3
and so on
When the Prodigy surface is started, it will load a system default setup which configures the Inputs, Outputs and
buses. To achieve this, the Prodigy sends instructions to the MFX to change its configuration. The MFX will only
process these instructions when it has a project open. Failure to have a project open on starting the Prodigy will
result in the systems being out of synchronization, which can cause serious problems in operation.
7.3 MFX User Interface
The term START UP Menu refers to the initial state of the Mixer after being booted. It boots to the START UP
menu with the only option being to QUIT TO DOS. Initially, a title must be loaded from or stored to, an MFX Project
before it is possible to start work. This is achieved in one of the following methods:
7.3.1 Creating a new project:
A Message box will appear on the MFX Screen: Create New Mixer Data? (YES / NO)
a)
Select YES and the current mixer settings are copied and loaded into the mixer as a new title, with the data
being stored into the newly created project, Prodigy now has a title loaded and the new project is open.
Messages on MFX:
Creating New Mixer Title, on clicking Y.
New Mixer Title Created, at completion of title load.
This allows for a new project to be created and mixer data to be copied from the current settings of the mixer into a
title for starting work from scratch. The current settings are dependent on the Preferences set and whether or not
any mixing has been done since Prodigy was booted.
b)
Select NO and the newly created project opens, but the Mixer stays in the START UP menu.
No messages on MFX.
This allows for the user to create a new project and then load a title from another project. The title is loaded using
the IMPORT >> LOAD MIXDATA option. At this point the title data is not stored in the project.
7.3.2 Opening a project that does not contain mix data.
Message on MFX:
Create New Mixer Data?
(YES / NO)
This will work the same way as it does above.
7.3.3 Opening a project that contains mix data.
Message on MFX:
Load Mixer Data from Project?
(YES / NO)
a)
Select YES and title stored in project is loaded onto the mixer.
Messages in MFX:
Sending data to mixer, on clicking Y.

1.
