Recalling Scenes Automatically During Recording Or Playback (Auto Scene); Setting An Auto Scene - Boss BR-1200CD Owner's Manual

Registering and recalling mixer settings (Scene)
Recalling scenes automatically during
recording or playback (Auto Scene)
The BR-1200CD allows you to assign scenes to markers so
that they can be recalled automatically when recording or
playback reaches the corresponding marker positions.
Referred to as Auto Scene, this function makes it possible for
track faders, effects, etc. to be controlled automatically.

Setting an Auto Scene

1. With the top screen displayed, move to the position in
the song where you want settings to be changed
automatically.
2. Hold down [STOP] and press [MARK].
A new marker will be created at the current position.
Also at this time, a new scene will be created and
assigned to the marker. All settings for track faders,
effects, and the like will be stored in this scene.
In addition, an "S" will appear in the Marker name area
on the top screen to indicate that a scene has been
assigned to the marker.

3. Press [ZERO] to return to the beginning of the song and
then press [PLAY] to start playback.
When playback reaches the position of the new marker,
the scene that you have assigned to it will be
automatically recalled. In addition, an "S" will appear in
the top screen's Marker name area.
Automatic recalling of scenes is not restricted to
playback and recording; in fact, scenes are recalled
automatically whenever the current position is moved to
the position of the corresponding marker, even if
playback is stopped at the time. It is important to note
that not all parameter settings stored in a scene will be
restored when it is recalled automatically. Settings are
restored for the following parameters.
• Faders for Tracks 1 through 11/12
• Track mute
• The MASTER fader
• Pan (for Tracks 1 through 11/12)
• Compressors and limiters
• EQ (for Tracks 1 through 11/12) (p. 130)
• Insert effects (p. 118), Vocal Tool Box (p. 131), Speaker
Modeling (p. 142), Mastering Tool Kit (p. 146)
94
• Chorus/delay sends (for Tracks 1 through 11/12)
• Reverb sends (for Tracks 1 through 11/12)
* Settings can be made to indicate whether or not EQ and effect
parameters will be restored by Auto Scene (p. 95). This is set
to OFF in the factory settings.
4. If you wish to store the modified settings, save the
current song (p. 70).
The allocation of scenes to markers for Auto Scene
can be modified later on. For more detailed
information regarding the modification of scene
assignments, refer to "Changing scenes assigned to
markers" (p. 92).
• A maximum of 100 markers can be created in a single
song, and this includes both markers with scenes
assigned and those without. Furthermore, a maximum
of 100 scenes can be registered. If you try to create a
marker or scene that will result in the corresponding
limit being exceeded, the message "Marker Memory
Full!" or "Scene Memory Full!" will be displayed and
this action will not be possible.
• When a new marker and scene are created as
described in Step 2, the lowest available number will
be assigned to this new scene.
• Markers cannot be created within 100 ms of one
another. In such instances, first clear the existing
marker, and then carry out Step 2 (p. 90).
• When a scene is recalled, there may be a delay of
several hundredths of a second before the stored
settings are actually applied to your song. Please
note that this delay is intentional and is intended to
prevent noise being generated as a result of sudden
changes in parameters.
• If you do not save the song as indicated in Step 4,
your settings will not be stored.
