Loading Scenes From The Library; Other Matters Concerning Scenes - Tascam 788 Owner's Manual

Loading scenes from the library

You can load previously stored scenes from the
library while playback is stopped. You cannot load
scenes (or change scenes using MIDI Program
Change commands) while playing back or recording.
If you attempt this, a message appears:
To load scenes from a stored library entry:

Other matters concerning scenes

Because the physical position of the faders on the
788 may not always match the position of the faders
as recalled by the scene, this may cause unexpected
results if you do not consider in advance what is hap-
pening when a scene is loaded.
This section explains some of the issues involved.
In this example, a channel's physical fader is set at a
high level, and a scene is loaded from the library,
where the internal fader setting is at a lower level.

This also applies to the STEREO fader, as well as the
individual channel faders.

The menu option described earlier in "Internal and
physical faders" on page 45 allows you to specify
what will be done when an internal fader value is
loaded which is different from the physical fader
value.
The option is probably the best option to
choose in many cases, allowing you to leave the
channel level unchanged until the physical fader
catches the internal fader (that is, it matches the level
of the internal fader).
The option ignores the internal fader level
which has been loaded—the physical fader is the
only method of setting the level.
The option means that if the physical fader
is moved, though, the level will instantly jump (up or
down) to the physical fader position. This can cause
unexpected results, and should be used with caution.
