Mixer Functions (VF80EX)

Scene memory

The VF80EX provides 100 Scene memories (S00 to S99) for each program. You can store a set of desired param- eter 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 VF80EX also provides 10 Temporary memo- ries (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.

<Hint>

Scene memories (shown as S00 through S99 on the list) are retained even if the power is turned off, while Tem- porary memories (shown as T00 through T09 on the list) disappear when the power is turned off, though they do not disappear when changing the program.

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.

3Enter the desired scene name by using the [JOG] dial for selecting a character and using the [CURSOR / ] keys for moving the editing (flashing) point.

You can specify a scene name with up to 16 alphanu- meric or symbolic characters and can see up to 14 char- acters on the display. The following characters can be entered:

A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, + - * / # & ! ? ( ) [ ] < > : . , etc.

4After completing the scene name entry, press the [TIME BASE SEL/F2] key while holding down the

[SHIFT] key.

the [SHIFT] key. (In the following example, "S01" is • selected.)

If the "Fader recall On/Off setting" menu described later is set to "OFF", when recalling a desired scene memory, fader settings are not recalled, while "Scene Recalled Fader RCL OFF" is momentarily shown on the screen.

If the "Fader recall On/Off setting" menu is set to "ON", regardless of the current physical positions of track and master faders, the audio is output at the fader positions when they were stored. We suggest you to turn the monitor volume down when recalling a scene memory to prevent an accidentally accessing high- volume sound.

Press the [SCENE] key.

The display shows the screen for selecting the scene number.
