Scene Memory
What is Scene Memory?
“Scene Memory” refers to specific locations in the flash memory of the VM200 in which you can store mix scenes. A mix scene is a snapshot of settings for virtually all VM200 parameters (i.e., EQ, fader positions, effects, and so on) at a given point in time.
Say you have finally arrived at the perfect mix setting for recording a particular instrumentalist in your studio. It sounds great, but next week you want to be able to recall the same settings. Simply store the scene into the Scene Memory, and recall it next week. This is one of the principle advantages of a digital recording mixer.
The VM200 features 100
The VM200 also features three preset scenes: P0 [Init Mix], P1 [Recording], and P2 [Mix Down]. These are useful for common mixing situations.
You can set individual channels or parameters as “recall safe.” This means that when you recall a new scene from memory, the settings for the specified channels or parameters remain unchanged.
You can store and recall scene memories in three ways:
❑By pressing the [RECALL] key in the Scene Memory section and selecting a scene;
❑By programming the VM200 to automatically recall a scene when the VM200 is powered on;
❑By sending remote MIDI Program Change messages from a com- puter or MIDI sequencer (see “Program Change To Scene Memory Assignment Tables” on page 210).
You can also back up scene memory data to an external MIDI device using MIDI Bulk Dump messages. See “Bulk Dump” on page 189 for more information.
You store scenes using the SCENE MEMORY STORE function page, and recall them using the SCENE MEMORY RECALL function page. On both pages, you will utilize the Scene Memory [STORE] and [RECALL] keys.
