Quick Start
3-5 Module E, Tips, Shortcuts and Warnings
If you read nothing else, this is the section of the manual you should read. It
contains information about the DA7 that will make it easier to use and
understand. These tips, shortcuts and warnings contain essential
information.
There are several hidden functions in the DA7. Some items discussed here
are not described elsewhere in this manual. We recommend you take a few
minutes to look over these features, as well as review Appendix D, Default
Settings. These settings are the ones the DA7 will return to if you reset the
mixer. It is a good idea for you to review them so that you know what these
settings are before you begin using the DA7 on an important project.
Tips
● To reset the DA7 to factory default settings:
Simultaneously press the CHANNEL and METER buttons in the
[MASTER DISPLAY] area. This will reset all the mixer functions and
clear the libraries and memories. Please note that this is an
irrevocable procedure. You can protect your mixer settings from
being lost by using the [MIDI>BULK] procedure described in
Chapter 11, MIDI to back up your data. See page 11-10 MIDI, BULK
(Bulk Out) Window for more information.
● To automatically set the fader of an individual channel to zero
level:
Simultaneously press the SELECT LED button and the ON LED
button of the channel strip, and the fader will move to the zero level
position.
● To automatically set the faders of BUS 1-8 and MASTER L/R to
zero level:
Simultaneously press the SELECT LED button, the ON LED button of
the MASTER L/R strip and the AUX/BUS LED button of the Fader
Layer section and all of these faders will move to the zero level
position.
● To recalibrate the faders:
Press the INPUT 1-16 button and the CUSTOM/MIDI button
simultaneously. The faders will immediately clear themselves of all
settings, and will perform the recalibration. This will take several
seconds. When this operation is finished, the faders will return to the
positions they were in before the recalibration. It is a good idea to
periodically recalibrate the faders. It can increase the accuracy and
performance of the moving fader system in the DA7.
