Edit & Control Buttons - SoundCraft Vi1 User Manual

Edit & Control Buttons
These touch buttons allow a) creation of Cues, scrolling of the list, and b) various editing operations on the
list such as Delete, Move, Duplicate, rename etc. To allow these operations to be carried out on more than
one Cue at a time, a set of Multi Select buttons c) are also provided.
a) Action buttons
<SCROLL UP/DOWN> buttons: Moves the Cue List up and down through the central selection cursor.
These buttons are duplicated by the action of the UP/DWN arrow buttons on the surface. The Cue List
cursor will always indicate the Cue that will be recalled if the Recall button on the surface is pressed.
The main Cue List page also contains a green highlight indication which shows which was the last recalled
Cue.
<NEW CUE> button: If Cursor is at the end of the Cue List, pressing New Cue creates a new Cue with
default name Cue xxx, where xxx = number of existing entries in the list +1. If the cursor is in another
position in the list, a new Cue is inserted in the next position in the list (see Cue Numbering). In both
cases, a desk snapshot is also generated and associated automatically with this cue, and the Desk
Snapshot enable/disable state is set to ON (enabled).
The events status of all other event types is set to disable (OFF) and no events are assigned.
The settings of the Snapshot Scope are also stored with the currently displayed settings, along side the
audio and surface parameters.
<UPDATE SNAPSHOT> button: Updates only the Desk Snapshot associated with the Cue, by overwriting
the snapshot with the current state of the surface. A dialogue box appears to confirm this action. Note that
Snapshot Scope settings do not need the Update button to be pressed in order to save them - changes to
Scope are stored immediately.
b) Edit function buttons
<NAME> button: opens the QWERTY keyboard to allow the name of the currently selected Cue to be
edited. The Cue is given a default name on creation in the format 'Cue X'. (The number is automatically
incremented with each subsequent creation operation).
<DELETE> button: deletes the currently selected Cue(s). A dialogue box appears to confirm this action.
<DUP> button: creates a copy (or copies) of the currently selected Cue(s). The copies contain all aspects
of the Cue, ie: Desk Snapshot and Events.
The names of the copies have a (D) added to the beginning of the Cue Name, in order to distinguish them
from the originals, and are placed after the original.
If multiple non-adjacent Cues are selected and the DUP operation performed, the duplicates appear after
their own original.
<MOVE> button: (Latching) Simulates a 'click & drag move function. When latched ON, a pre-selected Cue
or adjacent group of Cues can be moved within the list by using the scroll buttons or encoder.
Note that only a continuous range of Cues can be moved – the Move operation will be inhibited if a
selection of non-adjacent Cues is active when Move is pressed.
