Audio Routing, Mixing and Processing System for Program Production Centres

ARENA DM CONTROL SURFACE

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

3.2.3.2. Memory Configuration.

Depending on the type of configuration that was sent from the configuration software,

the main display will show either the “Working Configuration” option or the “Config.”

option. Thus, the “Working Configuration” option will be accessible by default when you

have a standard configuration in the controller board, while the “Config.” option will be

accessible by default if a configuration is sent that works with memories.

In both cases, access to these two options is associated with the second pushbutton

from the left (22) in the main display. This section describes the memories working

mode.

A memory is a form of instant storage of the settings of each of the controls of all the

channels on the control surface (except input gain, phase and mode). This means that,

when a memory is created, the system saves the situation of the control surface at that

moment with respect to all the channels. To retrieve the stored situation, you simply

load the desired memory. Because the change to a previously stored memory is

practically instantaneous, no audio losses occur.

The use of memories is especially appropriate when you need simultaneously to

change the settings situation of several channels that depend on more complex

operating functions than the mere activation of an effect or a channel. You will obtain

maximum performance when you create memories that store different assignments of

signals to channels, with different routing assignments for each channel. In a radio

broadcast, different programs may coexist during the day with different requirements

and mixer use situations.

If the option shown in the main display is “Config”, when you select the relevant

pushbutton you will access the memory management screen. From this screen you can

also access to “Working Configuration” management screen.

The options available to you for managing memories are basically: save, load and

delete. The procedure to follow is:

 SCROLL: Use the encoder associated with this option to select a memory position,

which may or may not be already occupied.

 SELEC NEW: Press the encoder to validate your selection.
