VCA Safe Mode
The user can choose to "SAFE" a Channel from ALL its VCA Assignments
while in either VCA Edit Mode.This doesn’t actually change any of the
assignments in memory,it only isolates the selected Channel from the
effects of the assignment- only the Local Fader will have control over the
Channel VCA once SAFED,the VCA Mute will also have no effect on the
Channel.This is similar to the Mute Safe condition, where a Channel will
ignore any Mute patterns it’s assigned to without having to actually change
the Mute Patterns.There is only 1 setting for all VCA-Safe data.
VCA Safes can be edited while in either VCA Edit Mode:
The Channel Safe/Preview bi-color LEDs will indicate VCA Safe while in
VEM Mode.Any Channel that is VCA safed will have its Safe/Preview LED lit
steady green.Any Channel that is not VCA Safe will have the LED turned
OFF.All other Safe/Preview LEDs associated with other Programmed mutes
(Aux and Matrix masters) will be OFF.Those LEDs have no function in this
VEM Mode.
To change a Channel’s VCA Safe status,press it’s associated MUTE switch.
The MUTE switch itself will be lit if the Channel is muted,or un-lit if
unmuted,pressing it will not affect the status of that switch or the Mute, it
will only toggle the state of the VCA Safe.
To clear all the VCA Safes,use the Edit Safe button on the Micro Panel.
Press and hold it down for at least 2 seconds,all VCA Safes will be cleared.
Note:There is no warning that this Clear will occur.
