Recalling a scene without affecting the current fader values
When a scene is recalled, the fader values will change to the recalled settings, but the locations of
the faders will not change. This means that the locations of the faders will not match their actual
values. When the locations do not match the values, the bar display will blink to indicate the actual
fader values.
If you want just the fader values to remain unchanged when you recall a scene, make the following
settings.
1. Press [SYSTEM].
If a message with a question mark such as ÒSYS System PRM?Ó does not appear, press [SYS-
TEM] once again.
2. Use PARAMETER [ ][
]
to get the “SYS Scene/Auto Mix?” display, and press [YES].
3. In the “SYS Scene Mode=” display, use the TIME/VALUE dial to select “KeepF.”
SYS Scene Mode
This setting determines the fader settings when a Scene is recalled.
All: Fader settings will change to the settings of the scene that was recalled. In this case,
when a scene is recalled, the location of the faders on the front panel will no longer
match the actual fader settings.
KeepF: The mixer settings of the scene that was recalled will be applied with the exception
of the fader settings. This means that even when a scene is recalled, fader settings
will still match the location of the faders on the front panel.
4. After making the setting, press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to Play condition.
Clearing the settings of a scene
1. Press [SCENE] to make the button indicator light.

While holding down [CLEAR], press the LOC button for the scene that you wish to clear. The
settings will be cleared and the button indicator will go dark.
3. After the settings have been cleared, press [SCENE] to make the button indicator go dark.
< About the display >
The SCENE field in the display indicates the currently selected scene number. If an asterisk ÒÓ
appears at the beginning of the scene number, this indicates that the current mixer settings differ
from the scene settings. I.e., after recalling the scene, the faders or PAN knobs etc. have been
moved to change the mixer settings.
