Automation 33
PRO Series Live Audio Systems
Owner’s Manual
For details of the bus types and their options, see Table 24 “Definition of primary
buses” on page 417.
Automation
The automation system can store and recall up to 1000 snapshot scenes. These contain
the setting values for every control on the control centre (excluding some of the
monitor section). Scene recall (and store) can be ‘scoped’ such that only the areas that
you want to recall (or store) are affected, while all other controls remain in their current
state.
The PRO Series can also recall/store operational preferences, so that its operation can
be configured to suit a particular application. For example, you can choose whether or
not to navigate screens on the ‘touch’ of controls, or as part of snapshot recall.
For theatre applications, channel settings can be recalled (across all scenes) from a
library of presets. This complexity allows a generic show to cope with differing
performers on a night-by-night basis, which is common in theatres.
Automation is powerful, but also dangerous, so the PRO Series has operator
lock/unlock. Therefore, accidental changes during control centre operation are
extremely unlikely.
MIDI and GPIO input/output are provided, as well as the ability to fire and respond to
contact closures per scene.
The ‘next’ LCD button has been positioned close to the VCA faders and has been
purposely designed so as to be distinct from other functions.
Processing elements
