Soloing and toggle

If you press the SOLO key to the upper right of the STEREO fader, the indicator lights and solo mode acti- vates. In solo mode, the track channel MUTE/SOLO keys function as SOLO keys, allowing you to monitor just the track channel signals of your choice.

The MUTE/SOLO keys of any soloed channels flash while being soloed.

Muted channels cannot be soloed or unmuted while solo mode is active.

When soloing channels, the solo is “in-place.,” meaning that faders, pan controls, EQ, etc. affect the soloed sound, and channels other than those with their SOLO keys pressed are muted.

Scene memories

The 2488MKII can store and recall up to 100 scene memo- ries. Each memory stores all the digital parameters for:

•Input assignment

•EQ settings

•Effect settings and assignment (assignment and param- eters for both internal effects units)

•Effect send and loop levels

•Pan-pots

•Digital pad/gain

•Fader settings (including the STEREO fader)

•Sub-mixer settings

NOTE

Monitor settings and TRIM control settings are not stored as part of a scene.

Scene recall

Follow these procedures to recall a scene.

1Press the SCENE key to open the SCENE
LIBRARY screen.
2Use the ˙ cursor key to select LOAD.
3Select the scene that you want to recall.
4Press the YES/ENTER key to recall the scene.
ªInternal faders and physical faders

If the fader matching mode (described below) is changed from the factory setting, when a scene is recalled, the

recalled internal fader values and the physical fader positions may not match.* For this reason, audio levels may change suddenly after recalling a scene. Remember to turn down the output volume when recalling scenes to avoid sudden changes in volume.

*In the factory fader matching setting, the internal fader values always match physical fader positions.

NOTE

If the fader matching setting is changed from the factory setting, the following cases may also cause the internal fader values and physical fader values not to match:

•If a different song is recalled.
•If external MIDI fader control is used.
•If a physical fader position is changed while the unit's power is OFF.
ªFader matching

If the fader matching mode is not changed from its factory settings, then the physical fader positions will always show the actual fader levels (internal fader values) when you use the 2488MKII. In this setting, however, fader data is not recalled with scenes.
