Overview
Snaps are analogous to preset scenes. They are ‘snapshots’ of all playback device
assignments.
Snaps record A/B crossfader assignments and all types of controller assignments for
instantaneous recall. Snaps are recorded by making assignments to the crossfaders and
controllers and then recording the Snap. Snap stores all of the assignments, so be sure that
you have no extraneous crossfader or controller assignments. Spot assignments to the
Remote Control Unit trackball are also saved in Snaps.
Example of the use of snaps: assume you are running a show with 10 songs. 6 chasers are
used in each song. Assign the chasers for song number 1 to the controllers and record
Snap 1. Free the assignments, assign the chasers for song 2, and record Snap 2, etc.
During the show, use the snaps to assign the chasers when switching from song to song.
Snaps 1 - 20 can be operated via the controller Soft Keys in Snap mode (see below) or in
the editor. Snaps 21 - 99 are operated via the editor only.
The assignment type and run mode information is also recorded in the Snap. The run
mode information is displayed in the Snap Exam. The mode is generally represented by
letters.
