RESETTING THE MICRO:

The V-12 micro is designed for reliable,trouble-free operation , but it

is,after all, a computer.There may be situations where it misbehaves.If this

occurs, a reset is probably the best course of action.There are two types

of reset: a normal, maintained reset; and a second, more encompassing

reset- the Initialization Reset:

The ﬁrst type occurs every time the V-12 powers up.The micro does

some housekeeping,counts the number of channels present, and restores

the Console’s mutes to their state prior to the last power-down. It does

this in less than a second.All mute and scene information is retained along

with any utility settings.

The second type of reset completely clears out the micro.In addition

to clearing out all micro scratch memory,all utility functions are reset to

their starting values and all mute and scene memories are cleared.This

takes about a second, and you will be left with a console with no preset

mutes and all settings at their factory defaults.

There are two methods to initiate a maintained reset:

The ﬁrst is by powering the console down,waiting a second or so,and

then back up.This method will, of course, cause audio discontinuities.The

V-12 has power-up/down,anti-pop circuitry on all main balanced outs, but

there will be a delay while the power supply comes up to spec and the

main outs are muted.

The second method is to use the reset hole located below the Active

Scene display.A straightened paper clip or push-pin can be used to trip the

recessed reset switch.This will cause the micro to go through its normal

power-up sequence- it will be ready to go in a ﬂash (you ma y not e ven see

the displays blink).The power supply is not involved,so normal audio oper-

ation is maintained.

To perform a Initialization Reset,two buttons are held down on the key-

pad while the micro is going thru a normal reset.Y ou can do this when the

console is powering up or you can start it by pressing the reset switch.

Hold down the CLEAR and EDIT keys while a reset is performed.The dis-

plays will clear out, and MEM INIT will appear in the upper display.

Continue to hold the keys down until the normal Next/Active Scene dis-

plays show up.The V-12 is set to this state when it leav es the factory .There

is no danger (other than data loss with the Init Reset) in doing either of

these resets, the only warning involves audio that may become un-muted

as a result.Please use caution if you are working on a live system.
