SNAPSHOT MODE

Programming Snapshots
1. Before creating and storing a Snapshot,
you may want to "clear the board" of any
active mutes. One easy way to do this is by
pressing and holding the CLEAR
for two seconds, or engage Snapshot 00 if it
is preprogrammed with "no mutes."
2. Make sure you are in Snapshot mode
(both digits and the right decimal point are
displayed). Use the Up/Down Arrow
buttons or the 0-9 buttons

you arrow up or down to a Snapshot that
isn't currently engaged. There are 100
Snapshots available, represented by the
numbers 00 through 99 in the Numeric
Display.
You can engage the Snapshot you've
selected by pressing the DO IT
If the Snapshot had been programmed
before, the mute configuration stored in its
memory engages. Otherwise, it defaults to
"no mutes."
3. Using the local MUTE switches, mute the
signal paths you want included in the
Snapshot. For instance, if you want Chan-
nels 1, 2, 3, and 4 included, press the MUTE
switches on those channels.
4. The STORE
button saves a mute
configuration as a Snapshot. If the Snap-
shot had been previously programmed, the
store operation erases and overwrites the
old mute configuration and the new one is
written to memory.
Press STORE
. The LED above this
button begins blinking. The decimal point
LED lights steadily. The Numeric Display
begins blinking (if it wasn't blinking
already).
5. At this point, you can still make changes
in the mute configuration by either adding
mutes or turning mutes off. You can also
use the Up/Down Arrow
0-9 buttons to select a different Snap-
shot number in which to store the mute
configuration.
6. Press STORE again. The STORE LED
turns off, the Numeric Display stops
flashing and the mute configuration you
selected is now stored in the Snapshot.
7. You can exit STORE mode by pressing the
CLEAR
button at any time. If you had
muted some channels, the Numeric Display
continues blinking. You can either manu-
ally turn off the MUTE switches or press

the channels, or you can select a different
Snapshot by pressing the Up/Down Arrow
button and then pressing the DO IT
button.
Clearing all Snapshots from memory.
The following procedure
completely and irretriev-
ably erases all of the
Snapshots programmed
into ULTRA MUTE. You
may want to save the Snapshot configuration
to external memory using the MIDI
DATA
ports prior to performing this proce-
dure, if there is a chance you will want to use
any of the programmed Snapshots again. See
"Using The MIDI Ports" on page 10 or "Using
The DATA Port" on page 12.
1. Be sure ULTRA MUTE is in Snapshot mode.
2. Press and hold the CLEAR
buttons for 2 seconds. ULTRA MUTE
cycles through all the Snapshots, clearing
each memory location. You may release the
buttons as soon as the cycle begins. When
the cycle ends, you are ready to reprogram
the Snapshots.
Selecting Snapshots
There are 100 Snapshots available. You can
only select one Snapshot at a time. When you
first enter Snapshot mode by pressing the
MODE
button, the Snapshot number that
was last selected comes up in the display. The
decimal point LED in the display blinks, indi-
cating that the current mute state of the console
is different than the selected Snapshot (unless
the current state coincidentally happens to
match the selected Snapshot, in which case
the decimal point LED lights steadily). You
must press DO IT
to engage the Snapshot
— it doesn't automatically engage when you
first enter Snapshot mode. This is a fail-safe
measure to prevent someone from inadvert-
ently changing the mute configuration if the
MODE
button is pressed by mistake.
You can select a different Snapshot by
pressing the Up/Down Arrow

tons to quickly scan through the Snapshots.
The Snapshot you select will not engage until
you press the DO IT
the Numeric Display stops blinking and the
new mute configuration is written to the console.
Another method for selecting Snapshots is
to enter the Snapshot number using the num-
ber buttons . For example, if you're at
