The Scene Memory function

What is scene memory?

Scene memory is a function that stores the on/off sta- tus of the monaural/stereo input channels, the G1/ A7–G8/14 section, the STEREO section, and the MONO/C section as one of 128 “scenes.” A scene that has been stored can be easily recalled at any time. Program change messages received at the MIDI IN connector can also recall scenes, and when a scene is recalled, a corresponding program change message can be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector. With the factory settings, the scenes stored in the M2500 are set as follows. Of these, scene memory numbers 1–128 can be rewritten, and 129 and 130 are for recall only.

6	All off

Scene memory operations are performed in the Con- trol section. For details on the parts of the control section and their function, refer to page 22.

Note: With the factory settings, the M2500 will start up with scene memory number 1 recalled.

Modes of the scene memory function

The Scene Memory function has the following three modes.

●Normal mode

This is the normal operating mode in which scenes are recalled and stored. When the M2500 is in Nor- mal mode, the indicators of the CHECK switch and UTILITY switch in the control section will be dark. For details on operation in Normal mode, refer to page 31.

●Check mode

In this mode you can check the contents of a scene before you recall it, or edit the on/off settings of a saved scene without changing the current on/off sta- tus. In Check mode, the indicator of the CHECK switch will be lit. For details on operation in Check mode, refer to page 32.

●Utility mode

In this mode you can make various settings related to scene memory and MIDI. In Utility mode, the indi- cator of the UTILITY switch will be lit. For details on operation in Utility mode, refer to page 34.
