17.2.1. Using Scene Mode
The Scene mode focuses on Scene selection and manipulation, and all Scenes can be managed
from the Ideas view.
To enter Scene mode:

→ The software switches to Scene mode. This is indicated by the illuminated SCENE ( Section )
button.
In Scene mode you see all Scene slots of the selected Scene bank represented cells:
• The fully lit pad indicates the selected Scene slot.
• Dim lit pads indicate Scene slots containing a Scene.
• Unlit pads represent empty Scene slots.

functionality as in Scene Arrange mode:
• The highlighted cell indicates the selected Scene slot.
• Cells showing a name represent Scene slots containing a Scene.
