CHAPTER 4
RMS saves your matrix configuration automatically to a
file, and the last saved setup will reload when you call up
the Solo/Mute Matrix dialog. You can also work with your
own matrix files from the Solo/Mute Matrix dialog by using
its menu bar:
■ New – Starts a new, blank matrix
■ Open – Opens a matrix setup file
NOTE: When you open a matrix setup file,
RMS automatically looks to see if the loud-
speakers in the matrix are present in the Panel. If it
finds loudspeakers that are not present, it removes
them from the matrix.
■ Save/Save As – Saves the current matrix to a file
NOTE: Select All and Deselect All from the
File menu bar will select/deselect all loud-
speakers in the matrix.
TIP: Matrix setup files use the file extension
.SMC.
Operations in the Solo/Mute Matrix Controller affect
selected loudspeakers only (with the exception of global
operations like Mute All). To select loudspeakers:
■ Click on a cell to select a single loudspeaker.
NOTE: Clicking on a new cell selects the
loudspeaker in that cell, and deselects the
one in the previously selected cell.
■ Shift-click to select multiple contiguous loudspeakers.
■ Ctrl-click to select multiple non-contiguous loud-
speakers.
■ Click on a column head to select all loudspeakers in
that column.
TIP: You can also click and drag to select a
block of contiguous loudspeakers.
Use the buttons along the bottom of the Matrix panel
to perform mute and solo operations on selected loud-
speakers. Mute All and Unmute All affect all loudspeakers
regardless of the selection. The following colors indicate
the action:
■ Black - Unselected
■ Green - Selected
■ Red - Muted
■ Yellow - Soloed
