9. UTILITIES
9.1 RESET
9.1.1 SOFT RESET
Performing a reset will ERASE all the recorded memory from the MIKADO. All Memories and
Chases are erased. If your memories are required, save them to the optional External
Memory Module (see below). This is known as a "SOFT RESET".
To perform a SOFT RESET,
Ensure the MIKADO is in MEMORY RUN mode.
Press and hold [function] and [F/ A] (reset) for 5 seconds.
At the completion of the reset the F/A button stops flashing.
ADB also suggests that a SOFT RESET is performed each time you start a new show, as it
is a quick way to ensure that ALL memories are deleted and ensures that the console is set
to the default operating state.
9.1.2 HARD RESET
In the unlikely event that the MIKADO fails to respond to your button strokes or fader
movements, the operating system may be reset so that the software may initialise and
recommence normal operation. This is known as a "HARD RESET".
To perform a HARD RESET,
Turn the Power Switch off.
Press and hold [function] and [F/ A] (reset) whilst turning on the console. This
operation will require two hands to prevent any accidental activation.
9.2 EXTERNAL MEMORY MODULE
Memories created and stored in the MIKADO, can be externally saved and then reloaded
from an external Memory Module. Each Memory Module can hold up to a maximum of four
complete shows. This module is optional and is available for purchase from ADB. When you
save or load a show from the Memory Module, you copy the entire contents of the MIKADO’s
memory - including all Memories and Chases.
9.2.1 SAVE SHOW TO MEMORY MODULE
To save a show, plug-in the Memory Module to the MIKADO’s "COMMS PORT". If a Memory
Module is not plugged in, then the MIKADO will detect this and not flash the [F/ A] (save)
LED.
Ensure the MIKADO is in MEMORY RUN mode
Press and hold [function] then press and hold [F/ A] (save) at the same time, for a period of 5
seconds, then release both.
The first four LEDs on the Preset B will flash twice to indicate possible show number choices.
If previous shows have already been loaded into the Memory Module, the Preset B LEDs will
be lit to indicate show numbers already allocated.
