Additional preference items
The following additions and changes have been made to the UTILITY function PREFERENCE screen.
• PROHIBIT DCA ASSIGN ON SELECTED CH
BLOCK
This option prohibits changes in the DCA group
assignment of a channel from being made using the
DCA section of the SELECTED INPUT CHANNEL
block or SELECTED OUTPUT CHANNEL block.
If this item is on, operations in the DCA section of
the SELECTED INPUT CHANNEL block and
SELECTED OUTPUT CHANNEL block will not be
valid. This allows you to prevent channels from
being inadvertently assigned to or removed from a
DCA group if a switch of the DCA section is touched
accidentally.
• SKIP CONFIRMATIONS FOR MIX MINUS
SHORTCUT
This option allows rapid execution of the Mix Minus
function that was added in V1.5.
Mix Minus is a function that instantly sets the signal
sent from a channel to a specific MIX bus to a level of
-infinity dB, and sets the signal sent from all the
other channels to that same MIX bus to nominal
level (0 dB).
There are two ways to use Mix Minus:
1 Click the MIX MINUS button in the CH to MIX
screen
2 Hold down the [SEL] switch of an input channel
and press a [SEL] switch in the MIX block
If this preference item is turned on, no confirmation
popup window will appear when you perform
method 2; the settings will be changed instantly.
• LIBRARY PROTECTION
This option prohibits erasure of libraries that are
linked to a protected scene.
V1.6 adds a CLEAR button that allows you to erase a
specified library. However if you erase a library (unit,
patch, name) that is linked to a protected scene, that
scene can no longer be reproduced. Thus, if this pref-
erence is turned on (FOLLOW SCENE), an attempt
to erase a library that is linked to a scene will cause a
message to be displayed, and the erasure will not be
possible.
Library numbers displayed in the scene list will not
be erased even if LINK is off.
• Changes in the AUTO DISPLAY ON/OFF area
The following changes have been made in the AUTO
DISPLAY ON/OFF area.
• AT T/EQ
The name has been changed from “EQ” to “ATT/EQ.”
Also, in previous versions, operating the SELECTED
INPUT CHANNEL block [ATTENUATOR] encoder
when this button was on would move the cursor to
the ATT knob of the EQ PARAMETER screen. How-
ever in V1.6, the cursor will move to the newly added
ATT screen.
• PAN/ROUTING
The name has been changed from “ROUTING” to
“PAN/ROUTING.” If this button is on, operating a
SELECTED INPUT CHANNEL block MIX SEND
[LEVEL/PAN] encoder 17–24 when surround mode
is active will make the cursor move to the corre-
sponding parameter of the SURR PRM screen.
However, the cursor will not move if you operate the
encoder of a MIX bus 17–24 that is not being used as
a surround bus.
