Safe Mode Constraints

When Safe mode is active, Snapshots can still be recalled, which can
potentially overwrite current plug-in assignments and cause audio artifacts during
a live performance.

Snapshot Display
The Snapshot Display shows the filename of the Active
Snapshot.
A Snapshot is a complete Live Rack configuration file,
containing all parameter values within the application. Snapshots are typically used for
total session recall. Snapshots can also be recalled via MIDI or from within a Soundcraft
Vi console via Ethernet.
Italic Snapshot Name
Whenever the active snapshot is modified from its last
saved state, the Snapshot name is displayed in italics,
as shown at right.
Tip: Type S at any time to save the current state of the existing
Snapshot to disk (overwriting the existing file; note this operation cannot be
undone), or type Shift+S to save the Snapshot as a new disk file.
