Storing and recalling parameters
The mixer handles the many hundreds parameters available in a specific way that has been tailored to the needs of the
performing musician. The following parameters groups can be identified:
- Global configuration parameters: they are stored in the mixer as soon as they are modified
- Network configuration parameters: they need a mixer reboot to become effective
- SHOW: it includes all the mixer parameters, except configuration parameters
- SNAPSHOT: as a SHOW, but without the output related parameters, and may include recall of PATCHes
- PATCH: it includes the parameters of a multieffect (MFX1, MFX2, MFX3, MFX4)
The SHOW is best suited to save all settings after a sound check, or to store the equalization settings of a specific venue;
it can then be recalled when doing a live act in the same venue.
The SNAPSHOT is ideal for storing all the settings that are related to a specific song or context; i.e., you can change EQ
and equalization types on all input channels, as well as all send effects (both send levels and effect types).
When using the M 18 as a submixer, you can also save input channels levels by enabling the Mix Bus option during Save;
this helps in obtaining a consistent audio result.
