the maXim asks “Save Changes To Memory?” If you answer “no”, the original memory is not
affected, but the changes that you have made are retained in the Playback until such time as the
scene is replaced on that Playback (by changing pages or mode). If you answer “yes”, the changes
are also copied to memory.
• “Edit” allows you to directly change the memory settings of the scene. In addition to
changing the fade times you can edit the channel levels of the scene. These changes are
automatically saved to memory as you edit. If the scene is currently on a Playback, then
these changes are also seen live on that Playback. Edit is described below.
GRAB MASTER AS A SCENE MASTER
A scene may be copied to the Grab master allowing it to act like a Playback containing a scene.
See the “GRABMASTER” chapter for details.
8.4 EDITING A SCENE
You may edit a scene live or blind (faded down) on its Playback or directly in its memory location. If
the scene is faded up on stage you will see the changes. When you edit the scene its channel
levels are shown on LED indicators and on the SVGA monitor. The LEDs will fade up in the fade
time (if any). Their final intensity reflects the levels of those channels in the scene.

[edit]
[F/A] (scene number).
