Snapshot Automation

Static mixer settings can be recorded with Automix. This type of Automix involves taking a mixer “Snapshot.” When you play to the point in the song where the Snapshot was recorded, all mixer settings stored with the Snapshot are instantly re-called. This is convenient for making instantaneous level changes in the middle of a song, or for changing effects on a guitar solo, for example. To record a mixer Snapshot, follow the procedure below.

1.Press [AUTOMIX].

The AUTOMIX indicator lights, indicating that the VS-1824 is in Automix mode.

2.Play or locate to the point in the song where you want the Snapshot to occur.

3.Press [STOP].

4.Select the mixer channels whose settings you want recorded in the Snapshot. Any blinking SELECT button will be recorded. If the SELECT button is not blinking for a channel you wish to record, hold [AUTOMIX] and press the SELECT button so it blinks.

5.Make all mixer settings, including panning, fader positions, effect send levels, etc., for each channel.

6.Hold [SCENE] and press [TAP]. A marker is placed at the current time location. A Snapshot of all mixer settings is recorded and stored with the marker. Any marker that stores Automix data will appear in the display followed by an “A.”

*If a marker already exists within 0.1 seconds before or after the location of the new Snapshot, the Snapshot information will be stored at the previously existing marker location. A new Snapshot marker will not be created.
