Date printed: 28.0.0
At the time of recalling a snapshot, there might be a filter active, leaving
some console settings unchanged upon recall of any snapshot. Each console
parameter can therefore be in one of the following states:
• Isolate ( = part of the filter); this parameter will not be influenced by snap-
shot recalls. Indication: yellow 'I'.
• Read ( = not filtered); this parameter may be changed upon recall of any
snapshots. Indication: none.
• Trim ( = offsets applied to snapshot recalls); any changes since the last
snapshot recall will be applied in a relative way to upcoming snapshot
recalls. Indication: red 'T'.
There are some different ways to define the parameters to be filtered out.
Note: The static automation system (filtering) cannot be active on a console which
has dynamic automation available. The decision which functionality is availa-
ble is made by an entry in a *.ini file before the system is re-booted, or by
using a special way to boot the system (alternate icon on the desktop).
You may add whole channels or only parts of them to your mask by pressing
the channel strip ISO key.
When you click the Edit Snapshot Filter button in the toolbar, you will put
the whole console into edit snapshot filter mode. Exit by clicking/pressing
the same button or key again. While the console is in edit snapshot filter
mode, it is not primarily showing audio settings, but actually visualizing the
snapshot filter. Each LED will indicate that this parameter is currently part
of the snapshot filter, meaning being filtered out from snapshot recalling.
Vistonics elements are indicating a small letter 'I' – Vistonics
™
their color to yellow if they are part of the snapshot filter. E.g. seeing the EQ
key lit will indicate that this equalizer is currently part of the snapshot filter
including all its parameters. If the key is half-lit, there are some – but not all
– parameters of that equalizer part of the snapshot filter. If dark, it indicates
that none of the equalizer parameters are part of the snapshot filter. You may
make the whole equalizer be part of the snapshot filter or not by pressing its
key.
If the console is in edit snapshot filter mode, this is indicated by the opened
EDIT SNAPSHOT FILTER window (as shown below); on a Vista console,
the Vistonics elements are marked by magenta-colored frames in addition.

Notes It is of course also possible to use ganging in order to add an element of
multiple channels to the snapshot filter.
To add a whole channel to the snapshot filter, press the ISO key on the channel
strip.
Also the copy/paste mechanism works in order to copy selections across one
or multiple channels.
In edit snapshot filter mode (as described above), the following window is
shown on the GC screen:
