2.4 Snapshots Menu
Any number of Snapshots of the entire current console settings can be stored and recalled using the Snapshots panel. (This is
only limited by system memory)
These Snapshots can be independent or grouped with other snapshots.
The recall scope of the snapshot (how many controls it will affect when fired) can be set by controller or by channel.
To display the Snapshots panel, touch the Snapshots button at the top of the Master Screen.
Worksurface controls are detailed in Getting Started.

Note - The current snapshot appears in the panel as the highlighted entry in the list. The snapshot name
displayed in green indicates that it is the selected snapshot on the worksurface and its name is indicated in
the display. The Fire button recalls this selected snapshot and highlights it in the screen list as the current
snapshot.
Note also that an 'update Waves only' button appears below the Scope buttons when Waves is active.
If the current snapshot shows an asterisk next to the number (eg. 001*) this indicates that a controller has changed since the
snapshot was fired.
If a Snapshot name appears in black in the list it is a standard Snapshot and if it appears in red or blue then it is a member of a
group of snapshots
2.4.1 Storing a Snapshot ...............................................................
When a snapshot is stored all the console settings are saved but when the snapshot is recalled its effect can be limited to certain
channels and controllers using the Global and Recall Scopes.
To store a snapshot of the current state of all the console controls, touch the Snapshot panel or worksurface Insert New button
and a new snapshot will be inserted below the currently selected (green) snapshot. Alternatively, if the Touch To Fire function
is active, touch an unused button in the list and a new snapshot will be added to the end of the list, then type a name for the
snapshot.
Another method of creating a Snapshot is to press the Duplicate Selected button and this will create a copy of the selected
(green) Snapshot below it.
Note - If Duplicate Selected is used, the Snapshot that is stored may not reflect the current state of the
console's controls - it will simply create a copy of the Snapshot that was selected when the button was
pressed.
2.4.2 Recalling a Snapshot ...........................................................
There are several ways to recall a snapshot:
1) Activate the Touch To Fire function using the button on the Snapshot panel and then touch the snapshot button you require.
2) The buttons on the Worksurface provide Scroll Up/Down buttons to change the selected snapshot named in the worksurface
display and listed on screen in green.
The Fire button then recalls the assigned snapshot.
3) The worksurface Previous and Next buttons can be used to step up and down the list firing snapshots in consecutive order.
4) Snapshot firing can also be controlled by specific events on MIDI channel 16 (See Snapshots and MIDI).
5) Assign a Macro button to fire the Snapshot.
