mute scenes

There are nine possible scene sources: MANUAL MUTE SCENES 1–8, and the MICRO SCENE.The MICRO SCENE button G is the enable-switch for the 128 possible SEQUENCED SCENES.The eight MANUAL MUTES are totally independent of the 128 SEQUENCED SCENES,giving the system a total of 136 possible mute patterns. Each of the 136 patterns can consist of any combination of chan- nel and output mutes, all of the nine possible sources can be combined to create additional patterns.

creating a mute scene—or editing an existing one

1Press the EDIT PREVIEW button C

The button will begin to blink,indicating that the system is in EDIT PREVIEW

MODE.

2Select a SCENE to edit

The system will automatically choose a SCENE to edit, depending on the status of the system when EDIT PREVIEW was selected. If the system was in SINGLE SCENE mode (switch E depressed), the MUTE SCENE that was cur- rently active will be selected to edit. If the system was in MULTIPLE SCENE mode (switch E not depressed), the MICRO SCENE will be automatically selected for editing. If a different scene than the default is to be edited, that scene should now be chosen by pressing one-of-the-nine possible MUTE SCENE buttons G and H, it will illuminate to show its selection. Only one scene can be selected for editing, the condition of the SINGLE SCENE button E has no effect in EDIT mode.

3When MICRO SCENE is selected

If MICRO SCENE G was selected, then the UP/DOWN A buttons should be used to select the desired SEQUENCED SCENE (PATCH) to be edited.The DIS- PLAY B will indicate which of the 128 possible patches is being worked on.

4Assign channels to the SCENE

Any channels currently assigned to the SCENE being edited will have their STATUS LED’s J blinking-red. Pressing the associated MUTE switch K will assign/de-assign that channel to the SCENE.

5Clearing a MUTE SCENE

If you wish to clear all assigned channels from a SCENE, press-and-hold the EDIT SAFE D button. After a brief delay, the display will change to CLR?. Continue to hold the button down until the display shows CLRD.All chan- nels assigned to that SCENE will be de-assigned and you can start fresh.

6Saving your edit

Once you have a SCENE configured the way you want it, either press the blinking EDIT PREVIEW C button to exit EDIT mode and return to NORMAL mode, or select another SCENE to edit by pressing its associated switch H, or—if MICRO SCENE was selected—press the UP/DOWN A keys to select a new PATCH to edit.There is no store-button to press, the changes take place immediately while editing, and the SCENE is saved auto- matically when a new SCENE is selected or upon exiting EDIT mode.

When returning to	+
NORMAL mode,

the system will revert back to the PATCH that was in place before entering EDIT mode.

This immediate	+
change will be most
apparent when editing a

scene that is currently the active scene—the MUTE SCENE that was on when EDIT mode was entered.

The MUTE LED L will change along with the STATUS LED J as a channel is added or removed from the scene during editing.
