Quick Reference Guide
The automation section in the output bay (see item J in Figure 2
“Main areas of control surface” on page 7) supports the Automation
screen by providing controls for scene navigation, selection and
management. The jogwheel is a unique automation controls,
whereas the other buttons are replicated on the GUI.
>> To navigate the scenes/point scenes
Rotate the jogwheel. Individual scenes/point scenes are scrolled
forwards/backwards, wrapping back to the beginning/end of the
show. Scrolling includes empty scenes and doesn’t affect scene
selection.
When using the jogwheel, the next LCD button changes to yellow
and tracks the ‘now’ scene, providing useful feedback. This button
only selects non-empty ‘now’ scenes.
>> 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.
Press last, now or next as desired.
>> To create a new scene using the current settings
1 Do one of the following:
• In the automation section, press store.
•In Automation screen on the GUI, click STORE SCENE.
2 In the Store Scene window, type in the scene
name if necessary.
3 In the Notes panel, type in any scene notes as
desired.

• Click “Insert before scene” to put the new
scene in between the one currently highlighted
in yellow and the scene immediately before it.
• Click “Store to empty scene” to put the new
scene in the one currently highlighted in yellow, provided it is empty.
• Click “Store to next scene” to put the new scene in the next one, provided it is
empty.
• Click “Overwrite scene” to overwrite the scene currently highlighted in yellow.
The options are context-sensitive, so some may be greyed-out to show that they
are unavailable. An OK button will appear at the bottom of the window when a
valid store scene option has been selected.
