Scene Recall Safes lets you make selected input channels and mix masters 'safe' so that their parameters are not overwritten when a Scene is recalled. Hold down the SCENE SAFES key and press the strip MIX keys on channels you want to make safe. The SAFE icon in the strip LCDs turns on for channels made safe.
Note - The mic preamp is not included in channels made safe. This is because preamps can be patched to any input channel, may be mapped to more than one channel, or used as sources to other parts of the system which may not be associated with the channel you want to make safe.
Show memories
You can archive your configuration as a Show memory. Show memories overwrite all the settings. These include all current parameters, system DSP and control configuration, all 250 Scenes and the user preferences. Shows are stored on the TouchScreen computer within the Surface and can be transferred between systems using a USB key.
To archive your configuration go to the UTILITY / Configuration / Show Manager screen. Touch the Archive Show button. Type in a name using the onscreen keypad. Press Enter to archive the show. This takes a few seconds to complete.
Use the + button to Expand the list of Shows currently stored. Template Shows are factory defaults that cannot be deleted. They give you a quick starting point for mixing with iLive and can be edited to create your own User shows.
To overwrite an existing User Show highlight it in the list and touch Archive. The keypad opens with its name displayed. Either type in a new name to archive it as a different show, or just press Enter to overwrite the existing show.
To recall a Template, User or USB show go to the UTILITY / Configuration / Show Manager screen, highlight a Show in the list, then touch the Recall button. Confirm the action.
Note - Recalling a show overwrites all the system settings and can change your mix architecture and patching. Make sure existing settings are archived first if you want to keep them to use again in the future. Show recall can take up to 3 minutes depending on how much information is stored.
Note - Show recall should only be used when reconfiguring your system for a different event. This would typically be done once for the event. Use the Scene memories rather than Shows to recall settings for different scenes in a theatre performance, bands at a music festival, day to day setups in a church, and so on.
Note - For iLive to see the Shows on your USB key they should be placed in an 'allenheath \ shows' folder in the root directory of your key. If you have previously archived Shows to the key using an iLive then this folder should have already been created.
In situations where you want to import settings from a guest engineer’s USB key but do not want to overwrite all the system settings, you can use the USB Scene Transfer function available in the UTILITY / Configuration screen. Refer to the TouchScreen HELP manual for further information.
