XXXIV. Projects
Although the VM-7000 retains most of your settings when you turn off
its power, there's a better—and more permanent—way to store them: by
saving them in a project on a memory card. A project is a file on the
memory card that contains all of your current settings. Projects allow
you to:
•
save all of your settings for a particular song or piece.
•
save your basic setup for a particular artist or album.
•
save your setup for a particular recording or performance location.
You can reload a project at any time, instantly re-configuring the
VM-7000's settings for the task at hand.
Effect libraries and delay, dynamics, EQ and channel libraries can be
stored on a memory card separately—they're not stored in project files.
In addition, certain important features—such as scenes (which we'll
discuss later) and Automix—are only available once you've created a
new project or if you've loaded an already-saved project. The VM-7000
stores the scene and Automix data in the project, not in its own memory.
In a two-processor VM-7000 system, you must first create a project
before you can access the second processor's controls from your
master console.
Creating a New Project
To create a new project:
1. Make sure there's an initialized memory card
installed in the console's MEMORY CARD slot.
2. Press PROJECT.
3. Make sure the row of icons that includes NEW
is selected.
4. Press F2 [NEW].
5. Press F2 [CREATE].
6. Press F5 [OK].
7. The VM-7000 asks if you want to keep your current mixer settings
or reset them to their factory values. For now, press F4 [YES].
8. Press F6 [EXIT] when the project-creation process is complete.
If you attempt to create a new project on a card that doesn't have
enough available space, the VM-7000 will display "ATTENTION: No
Card Space." Since each project uses roughly 2 MB of space, the card
that ships with the VM-7000 can accommodate one project. You can
purchase and use larger memory cards that hold up to eight projects.
Re-Naming a Project
When you create a new project, the VM-7000 always assigns it the
name "DEFAULT PROJ." You can change this to a more personally
meaningful name. You can also add a 32-character comment—this note
can be any type of project-related information you find useful.
To re-name a project:
1. Press PROJECT.
2. Make sure the row of icons including NAME/PROTECT is selected.
3. Press F3 [NAME/PROTECT]. A box appears in which you can re-
name the project and add a comment.
4. Name this project "My Project," and enter "Tutorial" as its comment.
