Creating and Recalling Scenes
Scenes are digital “snapshots” of your mixing work. They
allow you to save all settings in a mix—including EQ,
Dynamics, Effects, Groups, and more—and call them up
instantly whenever you need them. There are 99 Scene
memory locations for your custom mixes, and if you need
more, you can save them to your computer by using the
Studio Manager. (See page 9 and Studio Manager PDF
manual.)
Scenes are a great way to avoid ‘reinventing the wheel.’
Once you’ve got a perfect mix of a certain set of instru-
ments for a certain type of music—ideal compression and
EQ for bass and drums, delay and reverb just right on the
vocals—save it! The next time you do a song in the same
style with the same instruments, simply call up your tem-
plate and you’re ready to go. You can also use Scenes to
create alternate mixes of the same song, listening back to
each in turn and choosing the best one.
Make your life easier—coordinate the Scenes with your sequencer
songs. Here are some tips to get you started.
• Make sequencer templates for often-used song styles and instrument
combinations and create Scenes to match these templates.
• Use MIDI to control the 01X. If you make mixing changes within a
song, you can record program change messages in your sequencer
tracks and have each Scene change called up automatically as the
song plays. (See pages 87, 94.)
■ Operation
q Make all the desired mixer settings.
Virtually every setting you make on the mixer can be
stored to a Scene. This includes the channel [ON] but-
tons, the level settings (including the fader positions),
EQ, Pan, Aux Send levels, Dynamics, Effects, Group
Fader and Mute assignments, Input/Output Patch set-
tings and channel pairs. (For a detailed list of Scene
data, see page 85.)
• Remember that Scene data does not include the GAIN knob
settings. If you’ve made any changes to these, you will have
to reset them manually. For this reason, it may be a good
idea to keep notes on those settings—for example, writing
them down as clock settings to indicate the dial position
(10:00, 12:00, 2:00, etc.).
w Press the [SCENE] button to call up the Scene Library.
e Select the desired Scene number: 01 - 99.
Scene 00 is reserved for resetting the entire console to
the default settings, and cannot be overwritten.
• If an asterisk (*) is shown to the left of the Scene number, write-
protect is enabled and the data cannot be stored to that number.
Select a different number, or disable the write-protect by pressing
PROTECT (knob 8).
r Press STORE (knob 6) to store your settings to the
selected Scene number.
t Name the Scene.
You can give a descriptive, unique name to the Scene,
of up to sixteen characters in length. (For instructions
on naming, see page 41.)
• When recalling Scenes, keep in mind that volume levels may
change suddenly as channels are turned on and faders
moved. Unless you know exactly what changes are coming,
it’s best to turn down the MONITOR OUT control and any
connected amplifier/speaker system—to avoid damage to
your ears and your equipment!
