4.4.4.7 Typical Application Examples
Isolate one or more channels from being changed by upcoming snapshot recalls:
Press AUTO MODE on the corresponding channels. On Vista the user may
create a gang first in order to isolate multiple channels at a time.
Isolate just the EQ of one or more channels from being changed by upcoming snapshot recalls (Vista only):
Press and hold AUTO MODE in order to enter the edit snapshot filter mode,
indicated by magenta-colored frames within all Vistonics™ elements of
this channel. All LEDs will now display their isolation status but not the
audio. E.g. if the EQ button is lit at this time, the EQ is isolated. In order to
change the isolation status, press the corresponding key, touch the fader or
knob while still holding the AUTO MODE key. The word “ISOLATE” will
now show up in the generic display area, indicating that some element is
currently isolated. You may also use a gang in order to isolate one element
of multiple channels.
De-Activate the whole snapshot filtering mechanism on the console
De-activate MIX ON on the Automation panel on the Control Bay, or click
on the snapshot filter icon in the toolbar to de-activate the snapshot filter-
ing while keeping its definition for later use.
Create Snapshots, that contain only some of the channels, but not the whole console
Set the “New Snapshot includes:” option to “Gang”. Whenever a gang is
present, only the gang will be “part of the snapshot”. If there is no gang,
the whole console is affected by the recall of freshly created snapshots. A
snapshot not affecting the whole channel is graphically marked by a
checkmark.
4.4.4.8 Presets
Presets are exactly the same as Snapshots. However, they normally can
only be recalled but not edited; so their main purpose is to represent – as
the name implies – a number of starting console setups that can be re-
called, used to build particular refinements from there, and then stored as
normal Snapshot files.
To access Presets from the Snapshot Page, click on the Presets tag. Presets
are stored with the Session Configuration, because it is assumed that they
may be valid for more than one Title.
The file extension is *.pre.
If the System Administration mode (refer to chapter 4.7) is activated (by
entering the appropriate System Administrator password), Presets can be
edited exactly in the same way as Snapshots.
