Scene Memory Functions

Overview

A "scene" is a set of panel settings stored in one of the PM5000's 1,000 internal scene memories (000 ~ 999). Any stored
scene can be instantly recalled at any time for fast efficient changes. The first 10 scene memories (000 ~ 009) contain
preset data for common basic setups. The presets cannot be overwritten, but the remaining 990 scenes (010 ~ 999) are
available to store original setups. The parameters that can be store in each scene are listed in the chart below.

Since the parameters stored in the scene memory are the
normal panel settings used in setting up signal routing
and mixes, you can easily take "snapshots" of various
setups you might need to recall later. The preview
function can be used to check and edit the stored settings
as necessary. Stored scenes can then be recalled
instantaneously at any time.
Fade time settings can be individually stored with each
scene, so that when a scene is restored the faders settings
will, rather than jump to the recalled values immediately,
gradually fade to the recalled settings over the specified
fade time.
It is also possible to protect certain parameters so that
the specified parameters will not change when a scene is
recalled. The [RECALL SAFE] switches provided on

the input channels, master outputs and matrix outputs,
and the [FADER SAFE] switches provided on the input
channel and VCA master faders are used to specify
which parameters are to be protected for the
corresponding input or master channel, as listed in the
chart above. When a [RECALL SAFE] or [FADER
SAFE] switch is engaged the corresponding settings will
not be affected by scene recall operations, regardless of
the settings contained in the recalled scene.

If you don't intend to use the PM5000 scene memory function,
the "AUTOMODE OFF" mode can be selected (page 70) to
prevent potential problems caused by accidental scene storage or
recall operations.
