IMPORTANT: If you want to base your Show on one of the defaults, you MUST save it as a new
show before you start working, otherwise you will not be able to store Cues. This is because of
the write-protection assigned to the default Shows. It is good practice to create your new show
using the SAVE AS facility before you start to make your setup on the console.
Updating A Show
A loaded show can be updated at any time by pressing the <SAVE> button (but not if you have a Default
show loaded). If you are not using Cues to store the state of the desk, it is essential that you save your
Show in order to keep any changes made to the surface since you created the Show.
USB Data Storage Device
The right-hand side of the page displays the shows which are present on the installed USB data storage
device. Normally the front panel USB Data Socket will be used (EXT1), but it is possible to connect USB
data storage devices to the rear panel USB sockets (EXT2 and EXT3), and select the required device by
using the <EXT1><EXT2><EXT3> buttons. The up and down-arrows on the touch screen are used to scroll
though the available Show titles. Once the required show has been highlighted, in the double-height
yellow-outlined box, the two buttons on the left can be used as follows:
The <REN> button allows the user to rename the show, the on-screen keyboard is displayed.
The<DEL> button deletes the show from the USB data storage device.
Exporting A Show To A USB Data Storage Device.
Pressing the right-facing arrow will export the currently-selected Show to an installed USB data storage
device. Note that the date and time of the latest save is shown in both lists.
Importing A Show From A USB Data Storage Device.
Pressing the left-facing arrow will import the currently-selected Show from an installed USB data storage
device. Note that the date and time of the latest save is shown in both lists.
With Importing and Exporting, a dialogue box appears showing progress. To avoid data loss do not remove
the storage device until the progress box has disappeared
Export/Import Channel Labels
These keys allow the user to export a list of current Channel names in CSV (comma-separated values)
format. This file can be edited in a PC spreadsheet package and then imported back into the desk. The
file name is Soundcraft Vi channel labels.csv. Pressing the appropriate GO key immediately exports
or imports the file to a USB memory device. These keys are only available if a USB memory device is
connected.
Note that there is no progress dialogue because the operation is almost instantaneous.
Export Exception Files
If the console's on-board computer malfunctions an exception file is automatically written to the flash
drive. Pressing the GO key will write this file to a connected USB memory device. A service engineer may
want to look at this file. This key is only available if a USB memory device is connected.
