CHANNEL SAFE

The SCENE screen's chan safe tab configures which console channels are and are not changed when a scene change
occurs. This allows the user to protect certain channels from ever changing during a scene change, giving them as much
control as possible for key audio sources.
For example, in a theatre context, the console operator may have dialled in just the right EQ and compressor settings, and
channel volume for the voice of the lead actor, and does not want to have them altered when the console changes scenes
and alters various other parameters.
To adjust the various settings on the chan safe tab, perform the following steps:
1. Turn any of the six rotary controls to navigate among the checkboxes on the Main Display, which represent various
groups of channels that can be isolated from scene changes.
2. Tap any of the six encoders to select the console areas that have been highlighted with the rotary controls. In each of
44
the six columns, multiple console areas can be selected and isolated from scene changes.

MIDI
The MIDI tab on the SCENES screen allows the console to associate different scenes with incoming and outgoing MIDI
messages, allowing the console's scene changes to control or be controlled by external MIDI equipment.
For instance, the user could configure the console to issue a MIDI program change message as each new scene is recalled,
with the outgoing MIDI message triggering a new scene of a MIDI-equipped lighting controller.
Conversely, the user could configure the console to change scenes in response to an incoming MIDI program change
message, allowing the console to switch to a new audio scene when a new scene is recalled on a MIDI-equipped lighting
controller.
To adjust the various settings on the MIDI tab, perform the following steps:
1. Turn the first rotary control to select a scene to edit.
2. Tap the second rotary control to make safe the console from any incoming MIDI messages, preventing the console
from switching scenes in response to MIDI data.
3. Turn the third rotary control to select what type of MIDI event is transmitted by the console when a scene change is
issued. The choices include:
• Off (no MIDI event)
• MIDI program change
• MIDI control change
• Note.
4. Rotary controls 4, 5 and 6 adjust the channel, number and velocity (if applicable).
The Main Display shows the MIDI data associated with the currently selected screen.
