Loading scenes from the library

You can load previously stored scenes from the
library while playback is stopped. You cannot load
scenes (or change scenes using MIDI Program
Change commands) while playing back or recording.
If you attempt this, a message appears:

TRANSPORT MOVING

To load scenes from a stored library entry:

Press the

QUICK SETUP

key.

Use the dial to scroll down to the

SCENE

LIB.

entry in the list, and press

ENTER

Use the dial to scroll to the entry from where
you want to load the scene.

Press

ENTER

. The scene is loaded and the dis-

play returns to the assign map screen (see
“Viewing assignments” on page 37), where you
can view the effects of the load.

Other matters concerning scenes

Because the physical position of the faders on the
788 may not always match the position of the faders
as recalled by the scene, this may cause unexpected
results if you do not consider in advance what is hap-
pening when a scene is loaded.

This section explains some of the issues involved.

In this example, a channel’s physical fader is set at a
high level, and a scene is loaded from the library,
where the internal fader setting is at a lower level.

NOTE

This also applies to the STEREO fader, as well as the
individual channel faders.

As explained in “Internal and physical faders” on
page 45, this means that when the

FADER/PAN

screen for the channel is shown, the values of both
the internal fader and physical fader are shown:

The menu option described earlier in “Internal and
physical faders” on page 45 allows you to specify
what will be done when an internal fader value is
loaded which is different from the physical fader
value.

The

CATCH

option is probably the best option to

choose in many cases, allowing you to leave the
channel level unchanged until the physical fader
catches the internal fader (that is, it matches the level
of the internal fader).

The

REAL

option ignores the internal fader level

which has been loaded—the physical fader is the
only method of setting the level.

The

JUMP

option means that if the physical fader

is moved, though, the level will instantly jump (up or
down) to the physical fader position. This can cause
unexpected results, and should be used with caution.
