Scene memory

The VF80 provides 100 Scene memories (S00 to S99) for each program. You can store a set of desired parameter settings to each memory. Items to be stored include all parameters set by mix parameter editing functions, as well as all track fader levels. In addition to 100 Scene memories, the VF80 also provides 10 Temporary memories (T00 to T09) that can be used with all programs in common. Note that all settings stored in Temporary memories disappear when turning off the power.

You can give a desired title (name) with up to 16 alphanumeric or symbolic characters to each Scene/Temporary memory. (Note that up to 11 characters can be shown on the display.)

Storing the current scene

You can store the current scene (settings) to a Scene or Temporary memory by using the following proce- dure.

If you want to store a Temporary memory to a Scene memory (S00 to S99), recall the temporary number be- fore turning off the power and store the settings to the desired Scene memory number.
