MIX SCENE KEYS
STORING A MIX SCENE
To store a mix scene, press STORE (the key will flash). You will see something like this pop-up prompt:
You should use the CURSOR keys to move up or down the list of available mix scenes to select
an 'unused' mix scene if you want to store a new scene. If you press the flashing ENTER key or
STORE [F6], the scene will be stored..
However, if you know the number of the next unused mix scene, you can simply type that two-
digit number (02, 22, 54, whatever) followed by ENTER or STORE [F6]. Again, the scene will
be stored and will use the default name "SCENE nn (where nn is the scene memory number).
If you know the number of a mix scene you would like to overwrite, type the number on the
numeric keypad and press ENTER/STORE. The scene will be stored with the original name.
It is also possible to name scenes using NAME+STORE [F3/4]. Pressing this will pop-up the
usual naming prompt and you can name the scene as appropriate. If the scene memory is an
existing one, the new name will overwrite the original.
You can also rename an existing scene using RENAME [F5].
You will note the extra parameter at the bottom of the prompt window. This allows you to
select exactly what will be stored. You can select the following options:
ALL Everything will be stored in the selected scene - fader position, pan posi-
tions, FX/Aux send settings, channel on/off status, EQ and FX settings.
STATIC ONLY Only static controls such as EQ and FX settings will be stored. The faders,
pans and FX settings (i.e. those that can be dynamically automated) will
not. This allows you to recall different EQ settings on one or more channels
and also switch different effects as the track plays.
NO FADERS Everything except the faders will be stored. This allows you to set the mix
parameters such as pan, FX/Aux sends, EQ and FX and regard them as
'static' controls without your dynamic fader mix being affected. Perhaps
the best way to use this option is to set RECORD EVENTS to FADER in the
AUTOMATION page and mix your project using the faders using this op-
tion to store different pan, FX/Aux settings, EQ, etc., as 'static' controls.
To select these options, use the adjacent Q5 Q-link control.
