'Load Preset' will open the preset selection panel for the array.
'Save' is also a function available for Merlin. There are three options, 'All', 'Inputs' and 'Outputs'.
These will save the Merlin configuration as a Merlin *.meq file in a location of your choice on
your hard drive. As the options suggest, 'All' will save the entire Merlin configuration, 'Inputs'
just the input PEQ and delays and 'Outputs', all parameters from the output channels ignoring
the inputs. The *.meq file can be saved and re-used in future projects or distributed to other
MLA partners for use with other systems. It is loaded using the 'Load' function.
'Load Snapshot' will open the Load Snapshot Window.
'Save Snapshot' allows you to store the configuration that you have created to a free user
snapshot location.
'Import Snapshot' allows you to import a snapshot stored as a file.
'Export Snapshot' is an option for storing the configuration that you have created as a file on
your PC so it can be used in other cabinets of the same type in the project or in the future with
other systems.
'Select All' will select all components in the system design. The keyboard shortcut for this is
Ctrl + A. PEQs
'PEQ' has two options, Import and Export. As we will see, it is possible to tailor the EQ of an array
to suit personal preference. This is in addition to the array optimisation from Display 2.2 which
will equalise the system to suit the response requested in the design. If there is a particular
sound required for a style of music or requested by a sound engineer, the curve can be stored
as a file and recalled for any future shows using these commands. Using the house EQ will be
covered later in this chapter.
'Define Zones' is used with MLA and MLA Compact to zone the array up to a maximum of six
zones.
'Synchronize' is a manual synchronise between the PC and connected device. This happens
automatically when a device is first discovered.
'Disconnect/Reconnect' Allows you to disconnect a single device from the network turning it red
in the Vu-Net window.
'Rename' allows you to give the Merlin, array or cabinet a name to suit the event and location if
desired. Function key F2 is a shortcut to this option.

RENAMING

Selecting 'Rename' from the right-click menu or pressing F2 with a device selected brings up
the following window:
Type the required name which can be up to 30 characters. Press OK and the name will be shown
