Safes - Midas PRO SERIES Owner's Manual

Safes

Safes
Important:
Safes are intended for emergency use only and are not to be confused with
scope (see Chapter 21 "Scope (Automation)" on page 213).
Safes are incorporated into the PRO Series to prevent certain controls from being
recalled with a scene. Safe activation and status are provided on both the control
surface and the GUI.
There are six types of channel safe: EQ, dynamic, mic/config., auto, mute and fader.
Although some types of safe are channel-specific, any channel can be made safe from
off-channel mute, fader and automation control. Also, solo (for monitor areas A and B)
is always out of scene on any channel.
Note: The MIC button on the outputs operates as a configuration safe, rather than a
mic safe.
All of the channel safe areas, except MIC safe, have local LEDs on the control surface to
show their in/out status, which are provided in each channel/group fast strip and in the
safes sections of the overview and processing area displays of the GUI channel strip.
VCA groups only have mute and fader safes, and these can only be only switched on/off
via the GUI; see "VCA and POP groups" on page 177. Mute safe status indication is
provided both on the control surface (VCA/POP group section of master bay) an in the
GUI channel strip.
For details of which parameters are protected by the safes, see
Appendix M "Parameters Protected By Safes" on page 469.
