Recall a Factory Scene

What is a Scene?

Scenes allow storage and recall of mixer settings. A Scene includes all channel-processing settings, channel Names, Phantom Power settings,
Effects selections, DCA, Sub Group and Mute Group assignments. Scenes also include level settings. Factory scenes are stored with input faders at
minimum to prevent any surprises (feedback, music at 20 dB above the threshold of pain, etc.) when the scene is recalled. User scenes are stored
with levels set as they were when the scene was saved. User scenes may be stored to internal memory and to an external USB storage device.
There are circumstances when it's useful to recall a scene but omit certain settings from being changed. The TouchMix-30 Pro offers these Recall
Options:
• Omit Levels: When switched on, the scene will be recalled without making any change to any level settings.
• Omit Outputs: When switched on, the scene will be recalled without making any change to any output EQ, comp/limiter or level settings. This is
especially useful when recalling a scene after the mixer's outputs have been adjusted for a particular venue and speaker system.
• Omit Routing: When switched on, the scene will be recalled without making any change to routing such as subgroup assignments and pre/
post selections.
Your TouchMix is loaded with pre-defined scenes for various kinds of performances. You can find the one that's most like the show you'll be mixing
and start there.
To Recall a Factory Scene:
The factory scenes list includes a scene named Default. This scene will "zero" the mixer by returning all controls to their factory settings.

What is a Channel Preset?
A Channel Preset consists of settings for a single channel that are saved and can be recalled for use at a later time. A Channel Preset includes
settings for the channel EQ, Compressor and Gate. The channel name, phantom power setting and level settings are also stored with the preset but
may be omitted from a preset recall by setting the Recall Options switches at the bottom of the presets screen.
Your TouchMix includes over 120 channel presets that were programmed to work with common microphones in real, live sound applications by
skilled and experienced concert-sound mix-engineers. And they work. Those who have used TouchMix-30 Pro report great results using the presets
with little or no modification. You can also save your own channel presets to the mixer's internal memory or to an external USB storage device.
To Select Channel Presets:
1. Make sure that the Factory / User switch is in the Factory position.
2. In the left window you'll see a list of instrument categories. Touch an instrument category name and a list of specific instruments appears in the
middle window.
3. Select a type of instrument and the right window will display a list of options for that instrument. There may be options with and without gates
and compressors as well as options for various types of microphones and pick-ups or different styles of music. Select the one that seems best
for your application.
