De-activating Snapshot Filters
Trim Mode
4-54 GC Operation
Caution: Clicking on the "Clear All" button will completely remove the snapshot
filter and therefore may change all console parameters upon the next snap-
shot recall.
Clicking on the "Mask All" button will protect the whole console (with
some exceptions, such as Patch points) against snapshot recalls, afterwards
allowing to enable just single elements to be activated.
It is possible to de-activate an existing filter in order to re-activate it at a
later point. Click on the corresponding icon in the toolbar to activate/de-
activate the current snapshot filter, or press the MIX ON key on the Auto-
mation panel.
If the snapshot filter is de-activated, the icon for entering the snapshot
filter edit mode is grayed-out and not accessible.
It is also possible to put elements into Trim mode. In that mode, you may
have recalled a snapshot and make some corrections (e.g. push the fader up
by some dB). This change will then be applied to all following snapshots
when recalling them. This feature is very handy if you have prepared a
performance and need to correct some levels when the show really starts.
Obviously it is good to have that correction applied to all snapshots of the
show.
Note: When going back to Read mode, the elements will jump back to the origi-
nal snapshot value.
In order to activate the Trim mode as a third possible status of the ele-
ments, the Enable Trim Mode option must be activated in the Snapshot
Automation Options window. Then the snapshot filter will not only con-
tain two (Read and Isolate) but three modes: Read, Isolate, and Trim.
Switches cannot go into Trim mode, therefore their indication is not dif-
ferent (yellow "I"). However, the rotary controllers and faders will toggle
between "Read", yellow "I" for "Isolate" and red "T" for "Trim".
