14.4.2: Global Filter - Snapshot & Show Isolation
Isolate [ISO]
Select channels, groups
of channels, and
parameter blocks, and
individual parameters
to be part of the Global
Filter.
To quickly Isolate a whole channel or bus from the snapshot recall, press its [ISO] button.
The channel strip border on the Vistonics screen changes to purple to indicate the 'All
Isolated' state. To quickly isolate groups of channels or busses, the Gang function can be
used.
To isolate parts of a channel or buss you can use either the [ISO] button, or put the whole
desk into Global Edit mode.
With an [ISO] button held, simultaneously touch the part of the channel strip that you want
to isolate, in the touch screen. A purple LED appears in the top corner of the block to
indicate that the block is isolated. To isolate an individual parameter, touch the Vistonics
controls for the parameters you want to isolate. You can either zoom into the function block
before selection, so the parameters within that block are already mapped onto the VST
area, or touch and hold a screen block as well as the [ISO] button - that will zoom into the
parameters for the block.

To get manual control back while in a sequence of cues - either of a whole channel, groups of channels, or an element
within a channel, you can use Global Filtering. The console [ISO] buttons are the main tools for this. Once a parameter
is isolated, that parameter will remain under manual control regardless of which desk snapshot is recalled – hence the
term Global lter; however, controls that are isolated can still be stored, so you can update snapshots with the manu-
ally adjusted changes at any time.
To isolate channels, busses, or parts of channels and busses you can use either the [ISO] button, or put the whole
desk into Global Edit mode.
The Global edit lter (LOAD ISO WITH SHOW) can also be used to isolate aspects of the console’s set-up from entire
Show loads. So for example, if you have an engineer who brings a pre-congured show le to a shared console at a
festival, you can isolate the console’s output settings, which would normally be congured specically for the venue,
and protect them from being over-written by the new Show le.
The Global Edit button puts the whole desk into Edit mode so you don’t have to hold the [ISO] button.
