ADVANCED OPERATION • PRESET MODE
58
The Preset Configuration Matrix window is used for establishing presets to
enable you to make programming changes on the fly. It writes the gate, non-
gate, and cross point settings, as well as any input, output, or processing
parameters associated with the cross points, into a Preset memory. You can
establish up to 32 presets, and switch between them to accommodate
changes in room configuration or audio source(s)—instantly.
A good way to think of presets is to consider each one as a single room
configuration. A preset does not indicate the state of the XAP 800 unit; it
represents a self-contained group of customized parameters that operates
independently of other operations in the unit. This means you can use different
presets for separate sound venues simultaneously without conflicts.
In the Preset mode, the Routing Key is grayed out because no cross points
within the matrix are selectable with the cursor at this point. However, buttons
1-12, O-Z, and A-H down the left side of the matrix can be selected. Also, the
Input, Output, Expansion Bus, and Processing buttons can be selected.
2. Begin preset configuration by selecting which preset to configure in the
Preset Configuration pane.
3. Configure the Preset Routing Key by establishing the routing parameters in
the matrix.
In a realistic preset configuration scenario, it is highly unlikely that you would
reach the storage capacity of the unit. In the event that you exceed the preset
storage space, G-Ware will alert you when you try to save the preset. You will be
asked to reduce the number of cross point changes or the number of macros
in the preset. As a general rule, if you make cross point changes to three-
fourths of the matrix, you can establish a maximum of 128 nested macros for a
given preset.
4. Click the number (1, 2, 3, etc.) or letter (O, P, Q, etc.) of each input,
Expansion Bus, and processor you wish to place in your first preset. Note that
each row selected becomes white. These highlighted areas reflect the gate,
non-gate, and cross point settings you established in the G-Ware Configuration
Routing Key. You can customize these settings by clicking the boxes you wish
to change. As with the G-Ware Configuration matrix, you can right-click on a box
to open the Cross Point menu, allowing you to set the attenuation level.
5. Click the In 1-8 button and set the Mute, AGC/SL, AEC, Filter, and other
controls, as described in the G-Ware Configuration section. Also configure the
other input, output, Expansion Bus, and processing parameters for the Preset
Matrix.
6. When you have established Preset 1, click Save Preset to save the settings.
Click Exit Preset to exit the preset mode.
Preset Configuration Pane
Stand-alone pre-
sets are config-
urable only for
use within the local
XAP 800 unit. However, if
a preset is part of a
macro, another macro can
be used to activate that
preset in another XAP 800
unit.
