45, press 4 and then 5, followed by the DO IT
button. If you're at Snapshot 45 and you want
to jump to Snapshot 3, press 0 and then 3, fol-
lowed by the DO IT
mistake, simply press the CLEAR
and reenter the number, or just enter the new
numbers.
You can scroll through Snapshots and have
them become engaged as soon as the number
appears in the display. Press and hold the DO
IT
button while you press the Up or Down
Arrow button.
Another method for selecting and engaging
Snapshots is to put ULTRA MUTE into Auto-
Increment mode (a.k.a. Load-and-Go mode, or
Show mode). This is useful when you have a
sequence of Snapshots to engage during a
scene or act. To initiate this mode, press and
hold the CLEAR
button followed by the Up
Arrow button for two seconds. The display
begins to blink, indicating that ULTRA MUTE
is ready to engage the next Snapshot. Press
the DO IT
button to advance the display
to the next Snapshot number. Press DO IT
again to engage the next Snapshot and the
display advances to the next Snapshot number.
(Remember, a blinking display tells you that
the Snapshot in the display is not engaged, but
ready to be engaged as soon as you DO IT.)
To end Auto-Increment mode and return to
Normal mode, press and hold the CLEAR
button followed by the Arrow Down
for two seconds.
Previewing Snapshots
Preview mode lets you see the mute
configuration of a Snapshot without actually
engaging it. This gives you the option of "look-
ing ahead" at a forthcoming change in the mute
configuration of the console to be sure that it
is the one you really want. It also allows you to
edit an existing Snapshot prior to engaging it.
1. Select a Snapshot.
2. Press the MUTE PREVIEW
LED above the MUTE PREVIEW button lights.

3. Select a different Snapshot by using either
the Up/Down Arrow
entering the Snapshot number via the
number buttons
the channels assigned to the selected
Snapshot will light and the Numeric
Display will blink to let you know that
you are only previewing the Snapshot and
the channels are not actually muted. The
channels that were muted prior to entering
Preview mode remain muted, even if their
LEDs are turned off. Remember, in Preview
mode the MUTE LEDs are just showing you
what might be should you decide to DO IT,
not what actually is.
You can manually add a channel to the
Preview by pressing its MUTE button. Its
MUTE LED blinks to let you know that it's
not actually muted yet.
4. Once you've decided on a new Snapshot or
modified Snapshot configuration, press DO
IT
and the new Snapshot, plus any
manually muted channels, will engage.
5. Notice that the PREVIEW LED is still lit.
You are still in Preview mode, and free to
preview another Snapshot if you so desire.
Otherwise, press MUTE PREVIEW
to exit Preview mode.
6. To exit Preview mode without making any
changes to the current mute configuration,
simply press the MUTE PREVIEW
button again to turn it off. The MUTE LEDs
revert back to indicating the current mute
configuration of the console. Any mute
switches selected during Preview are canceled.
Note: The Numeric Display
blink and indicates the last number selected
while in Preview mode. If you want the display
to return to the Snapshot number currently
engaged, either enter the number directly us-
ing the number buttons or use the Up/Down
Arrow buttons. When the correct Snapshot
number is in the display, the decimal point
LED in the display stops blinking. Press the
DO IT button to return the display to normal.
