XXXV. Scenes
One of the best things about a digital mixer like the VM-7000 is that it
can remember and instantly recall your setups. Much of the time spent
mixing is spent setting things up, so this is a great time-saver. In the
VM-7000, each setup that you save is called a "scene."
With a one-processor system, the VM-7000 allows you to store 100
scenes in each project, numbered from 00-99. With two processors, you
can store 50. In either case, scenes require an installed memory card
on which you've already created a project.
What's Stored in a Scene?
A scene captures all of your input and multi in channel settings—
including their input and output connections, preamp, delay, dynamics,
and EQ settings—as well as your main mix, cue mix, Flex Bus, multi
out, effect and fader group settings (see p. 104 in the VM-C7200/C7100
Owner's Manual to learn about fader groups).
When you recall a scene, you can select the settings to be loaded, as
we'll see in a moment.
Scene Buttons and Banks
Each scene is selected using a two-digit number that identifies the
scene memory location in which it's stored. Scenes that share a
common first digit are said to belong to the same scene "bank." For
example, scenes 00-09 all belong to Scene Bank 0.
The number of the currently active scene is always shown in the upper-
righthand corner of the display, as we mentioned back on Page 10.
You can select a scene memory location—when you want to save,
re-name, recall or clear a scene—by typing its number on the
VM-7000's numeric keypad. You'll type one or both of its digits,
depending on the scene location you want to choose.
When a scene memory location contains a scene, the corresponding
number button on the numeric keypad lights.
Selecting a Scene Location
To select a scene location in a bank other than the currently selected
scene bank:
• Press SCENE—all of the scene buttons begin to flash.
• Type the desired location's first digit. The button you press will flash,
and then all of the number buttons will light. Finally, the lights will
turn off for all locations that don't currently contain scenes.
• Type the desired location's second digit.
To select a scene location in the currently selected bank:
• You need only type the scene's second digit.
Storing a Scene
When you'd like to save your current settings as a scene, simply select
an unused memory location using the appropriate method.
Let's demonstrate this by saving a couple of scenes in Bank 6:
1. Press SCENE.
2. Press 6 on the numeric keypad.
