Operating Snaps

Operating Snaps
There are two snap operation modes: non-forcing (additive) and forcing mode.
Snaps never force an assignment to A/B. Assigning a memory or group to A/B using snap
is permitted only when A/B is empty.
Snaps 1 – 20 can be operated using the SKs in Snap mode. All other Snaps are operated in
the editor.

Operating Snaps in non-forcing mode

A non-forcing mode Snap affects only controllers that are at 0%. If a controller is off the
end stop and assigned, its Snap assignment will "wait in the wings" until the fader is
returned to 0%. When a Snap assignment is "waiting in the wings" a yellow asterisk is
displayed next to the controller number and the fader number is yellow.
Example: In Snap 1 controller 8 has a group assignment. When the Snap is operated,
controller 8 already has an assignment and is at 80%. All the Snap assignments execute
(assuming the controllers are at 0%), except the assignment to controller 8; it waits until
controller 8 to is returned to 0%, then waiting Snap is assigned
