Managing the scenes
An automation section in the master bay (see item H in Figure 5 “Main areas of the
control surface” on page 29) supports the Automation screen by providing a number
of controls for scene navigation and management. A jogwheel and a next LCD button
are unique automation controls, while the store, ok, cancel, last and now buttons are
replicated on the Automation screen.
The four coloured, backlit buttons are context-sensitive and illuminate only when they
are available. Typically, three scenes in the cue list (Automation screen) will be
highlighted to match the button colours (red, yellow or green) to show which scene
each button will act upon.
The jogwheel quickly scrolls through the individual scenes in either direction. You can
even go to the empty scenes towards the end of the cue list and then wrap to the
beginning. Operation of the jogwheel does not affect scene selection.
The next LCD button displays information on the scene you have just scrolled to.
Additional function buttons on the Automation screen allow you to copy scenes and
also to choose what is stored within each scene (store and recall scope buttons).
The eye icon in the Automation screen (just under the ADD MIDI button)
opens a Show window, which contains a list of filter options.
>> To navigate the scenes using the jogwheel
Rotate the jogwheel in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction to
scroll through the scenes one by one.
When using the jogwheel the next LCD button will illuminate yellow
and will track the scene currently highlighted in yellow in the cue
list. In this case, pressing this button will only have an affect if a
non-empty scene is currently highlighted.
>> To recall a scene
Important:
When recalling a new scene, make sure monitor output levels are low, as the
new scene’s settings may produce higher audio output levels than the one it is
replacing. Also, recalling a scene clears any unsaved adjustments made to the
previous scene.
Do one of the following:
• Press last to change scene selection to the one currently
highlighted in red in the cue list, which was the last selected
scene.
• Press now to change scene selection to the one currently
highlighted in yellow in the cue list.
• Press next (LCD button) to change scene selection to the one
currently highlighted in green in the cue list, which is the scene
immediately following the ‘now’ scene. However, if you have used
the jogwheel the effect will be different.
