Scene memory
“Focus” is a function that lets you select the parameters that will be updated when you recall each
scene, so that only specific parameters will be updated when you recall that scene. For example, it
is convenient to use this if you want to recall only the input channel settings of a certain scene.
1In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the
[SCENE MEMORY] key repeatedly to
access the SCENE FOCUS screen.
In this screen you can make various settings for the
Focus function. The screen contains the following
items.
1FOCUS field
This field lets you make Focus function settings for a
scene saved in scene memory. Using the buttons
arrayed in the center, select the parameters that will be
updated when you recall the scene selected in the list
in the left side of the screen. For other scenes, you can
only check the on/off status of each parameter.
BCURRENT field
This field lets you make Focus function settings for the
scene you’re currently operating. If you select a
parameter in this field and then store the scene, your
selections will be used the next time you recall that
scene. When you recall a scene, the Focus function
settings of that scene are shown in this field.
2Make sure that the cursor is located some-
where other than the constant display area,
and use the dial or the [DEC]/[INC] keys to
select the scene for which you want to
make Focus function settings.
3Use the buttons other than “ALL” to select
the parameters that will be subject to recall.
These buttons correspond to the following parameters
(multiple selections are allowed).
4If you want to cancel the restrictions you
specified in step 3, so that all parameters
will be subject to recall, turn the ALL button
on.
When you turn on the ALL button, all other buttons for
that scene will be turned off. Turning on any other but-
ton will turn off the ALL button.
5Make Focus function settings for other
scenes as described in steps 2–4.
6Recall a scene for which you’ve made
Focus settings.
If buttons other than ALL are turned on for the scene,
only the parameters whose buttons are on will be
recalled. If the ALL button is turned on for the scene,
all parameters will be updated.
Using the Focus function
• As a function that is the converse of Focus, there is also a “Recall Safe” function that lets you select
channels and parameters to be excluded from recall operations (
→ p. 140). However while the Focus
function is specified for each scene, Recall Safe settings are common to all scenes.

•For scenes other than the scene number currently selected in
the scene list, check marks show the state of the Focus func-
tion settings.
•Scenes for which Focus settings are made are indicated by a
“FOCUS” indication in the STATUS field of the SCENE LIST
screen.
•The Focus function can be used in conjunction with the Recall
Safe function (
→ p. 140). Channels or parameters that are
excluded from Recall operations by either Focus or Recall
Safe will not be recalled.
