Mismatch Errors
When you load (recall) a snapshot into the bank of 1788A’s, the 1788A-R will know if the bank has unit discrepancies and flash a yellow “Mismatch” alarm on any missing 1788A’s in the bank that were included in the snapshot, or any 1788A’s present that were not there when the snapshot was taken. If a connected 1788A is extra, outside the scope of the preset, its Status light will be green blinking to yellow. If any 1788A is missing from the scope of the snapshot, its Status light will be red or black blinking to yellow. Turning the Preset Select knob will re-display all mismatches if they have been cleared. Mismatches indications will be cleared by doing a Wake-up or pressing any Unit Select button.
Edit Mode
The editor is principally used to create hand-made presets with or without any 1788A’s present. This will be your theoretical preset as you determine you want it. It won’t be a snapshot of actual working preamps.
NOTE: This also a useful way to examine existing presets without propagating them.
3.3SNAPSHOTS & EDITING 3.3.1 Live Snapshots
At any time, the present state of all the units in the present Bank can be captured into a preset bin. Presumably, as you perfect your preamp settings scene-by-scene, or show-by- show, you will want to create and update presets to be able to reproduce these settings on demand. You may also just want to save some simple setups to deal with typical conditions. For example, you might want to have a preset to mute all mics across the Bank, and then one to unmute them all. Whatever the case, taking a snapshot is the easiest way to make presets.
How to Take a Live Snapshot
1.Select a desired preset bin (snapshot number, 1-60) by turning the Select dial. It will appear in the right-hand window. If it is protected, unprotect it or choose another number. It does not have to be empty to take a new snapshot. The old data will all be erased automatically.
2.When you are ready to capture the operating parameters of the present Bank, press Snapshot. The bin will now be stored.
3.If you are satisfied with the snapshot, you should now Protect it.
3.3.2Editing
Certain characteristics of the remote controller will change in Edit Mode. First, you will be able to select all sixteen units using the Unit Select buttons even if none are present. Second, none of your adjustments will be transmitted out to units. The 1788A-R’s controls will serve only for programming your preset.
When you enter Edit Mode, the selected preset will be loaded into a workspace memory. You can adjust all the controls and settings for any selected unit. After you have selected and adjusted the desired units, pressing Snapshot saves a copy of the workspace
