Mixer Scenes

There are two functions to quickly store and recall mixer
settings. One is referred to as "Scenes," and the other is
referred to as "EZ Routing." Use the method appropriate to
your situation.

Scene

A Scene stores all EQ, routing, fader-position, pan-position,
effects, V-Track selection, and master-level settings. You can
store eight different mixer Scenes per song, and each Scene
can be recalled using one of the eight dedicated Scene
buttons. Scenes are retained as part of the song data when
the song is saved. Scenes are useful for trying several
different mixes of a song using different combinations of
V-Tracks, effects and levels. When you copy a song to a
removable drive, such as a Zip drive, and then copy it into a
different VS-1680, the Scene settings are restored.
* The monitoring level—the position of the MONITOR knob—
is not stored in a Scene. When you recall a stored Scene, the
monitor level will be determined by the current position of the
MONITOR knob.

EZ Routing

Similar to Scenes, EZ Routing also stores all settings related
to mixer routing, V-Track selection, effects, etc. However,
unlike Scenes, EZ Routing settings are global—that is, they
stay the same regardless of the song. EZ Routing templates
are not saved as part of a song. They can be saved within the
VS-1680. EZ Routing is useful for storing settings for
frequent activities, such as "Recording a Drum Kit," or
"Bouncing Rhythm Section Tracks." Use EZ Routing to store
mixer settings you might want to use on several different
songs. For detailed information on using EZ Routing, see
Chapter 8 "EZ Routing."
