Start-Up; Initial Power Up; Returning To Factory Default Settings - Mackie Digital 8 Bus Owner's Manual

3. Start-Up

Most of the procedures described in this manual
can be performed from the console's surface or
with the optional Video Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse
combination. Therefore, all operations and proce-
dures are presented in this sequence: "From the
console," followed by "From the screen."
Initial Power-Up
See the Quick Start Guide for instructions on
how to connect the Remote CPU to the console.
Once you have the Remote CPU properly con-
nected to the console, turn on the power switch
located on the front panel of the Remote CPU,
then turn on any peripheral equipment, such as
multitrack recorders. Upon power-up, the internal
computer initializes the DSPs and console sur-
face. There is a short delay (about 60 seconds)
while the Remote CPU loads the Mackie Real
Time OS into the console's memory and engages
the DSPs.

Returning to Factory Default Settings

Occasionally, you may find it necessary to return
the console to the original factory default settings.

When the Digital 8•Bus is first turned on, it
recalls the Startup Session, which contains the
default settings for the console. You can modify
the Startup Session according to your own pref-
erence and save it. If you download a plug-in to
the FX card and save the Startup Session, the
CPU downloads the effects algorithms that were
assigned to the FX card(s) every time you reboot
the console. This may take several minutes, de-
pending on how many FX cards you have installed.
In order to start working, you should create a
new session or load a previously saved session
(see Chapter 5 for information on creating and re-
calling sessions). If you've made some initial
settings and want to move on, save the session
before creating a new session using either the
"Save" or "Save As..." command.
