The Snapshot system allows the user to store records of the console's settings. When a Snapshot is stored
it becomes part of a Cue: a Cue contains a Snapshot and optional MIDI and GPIO/HiQnet events. These
Cues can then be recalled during a performance. Cues can be deleted, copied and moved within the
running order of the show.
The Cues are stored on the console's flash drive, each set of Cues is stored as a Show. The Shows can be
backed up onto, and downloaded from, a USB data storage device.
Note that some of the console's settings are not stored within Cues, but they are recorded as part of the
Show. These settings therefore do not change within a Show. Other settings are not recorded at all. A list of
what is recorded, and what is not, is provided at the end of this chapter.
SNAPSHOT FILTERING
Snapshot filtering means the selective recall of certain snapshot parameters. The complete set of
parameters is always stored, so filtering only affects recall.
There are two types of snapshot filtering: Snapshot Scope and Global Filter.
Snapshot Scope is a way of selecting the parameters which are recalled from snapshots. The Snapshot
Scope is stored with each snapshot. This allows special snapshots to be created to perform specific
functions, only acting on a defined part of the console.
Global Filter is stored in the Show, and affects all snapshots. It can be edited and switched on or off
using the ISO buttons on the channel strips.
Global Filter is useful as an 'emergency' tool to stop some parameters from being recalled, e.g. a
microphone slipping making an EQ change necessary, or a fault of some kind meaning a spare channel
has to be used which has all parameters set to defaults in all snapshots.
Any snapshot recall is subjected to both these filters in series (assuming Global Filter is switched on), so if
a parameter is filtered in either or both of the filters then it will not be recalled.
