SOURCE OwNERSHIP
There may be circumstances when
a source’s ownership needs to be
overridden, for example, a microphone
is needed for the next show but has
not been released from the previous
show. “Force Ownership to be Dropped”
releases the source from its owner,
allowing another console to control it.
This function is necessary for the
situation where grabbing the ownership
is not sufficient. This could be because
the user wants to load a memory using
ports it does not own. Upon loading a
memory, any gain settings saved for
ports the console does not own will be
ignored, and the gain settings applied
by the owner will be applied. In this
case, it would be necessary to force the
ownership to be dropped before loading
the memory, such that the correct gain
settings are recalled.
