2.2 Files Menu
2.2.1 Templates ..............................................................................
Touching on Templates in the Files menu brings up the Session Templates display. This lists any ordinary session files
which are located in the folder d:\Templates (or c:\Templates if not on a console), along with key session information.
Note: If this folder doesn't exist, it should be created manually. The required template sessions can then be
copied into it.
To load a Session Template, simply select it in the list and touch the Load button.
2.2.2 Session Structure ..................................................................
Touching on Session Structure in the Files menu brings up the Session Structure display. This is where a session is named
and where the channel allocation and sample rate for the session are configured. While changes to session structure can be
made once a session has been started, it is best to try and set these parameters before configuring the session. Session
Structure changes are not implemented until the Restructure button in the bottom right-hand corner of the display is pressed.
To name the session, touch the session title box, type the session name using the either the on-screen or external keyboard,
and press OK.
Set the Session sample rate at the top of the panel.
It is worth remembering that each output (buss) allocated also uses up one of your processing channels.
Below the session title, each channel type has its own setup row, which includes clear all and auto-route buttons, and a
display of the current number of channels in the session. To adjust any of the channel allocations, touch on the associated
channel count box, and either enter a number using the pop-up number keypad, or adjust using the assigned touchturn controller.
The SD7 is the only SD Series console where all these parameters are adjustable. For example, on an SD8, SD9 and SD11, only
the Aux buss and Group buss allocations are adjustable and all other Parameters are fixed.
For specific console model information, please refer to Configuring Session page in the Getting Started Section.
Note also that processing channels are reserved for the master buss, talkback channel and stereo solos.
