Step 2 – Load a ‘Template Show’ as a starting point
The iLive has a fully configurable audio architecture and control layout and socket patching letting you
customise the way you work. It would be a daunting task for the new user if we gave them a ‘blank
canvas’ to start from scratch. Instead we have provided a set of ‘Template’ Show memories which give
you a choice of classic console format to load in as a quick starting point. These emulate the familiar
architecture and logical layout of well equipped analogue consoles. Once you are comfortable working
with iLive you can make changes to your set up and save these as your own ‘User’ Shows.
A default show is already loaded when the iLive is shipped from the factory. This is FOH_LRSub.
Details of the layout and patching of this show are presented on the rear cover of this guide.
Note: Recalling a Show overwrites all the system
settings including the DSP mix architecture, Surface
configuration, current parameters, all the Scene and
Library memories. If you want to keep the current
configuration make sure you archive it as a User
Show before recalling the new Show.
Template Shows available:
FOH These make a good starting point for general
purpose live mixing whether FOH only or mixing
monitors from FOH. They provide a classic Group /
Aux / Mains / Matrix bus architecture and differ only
in the type of main mix configured.
MON These recall a format and layout suitable for
dedicated monitor mixing, with a combination of
mono and stereo auxes and engineer’s dual
Wedge/IEM monitor.
SLAVE Use these when the system gets its inputs
from a ‘master’ console via a digital mic split such
as Ace or EtherSound.
Load a Template Show
Press the UTILITY key below the TouchScreen -
UTILITY / Configuration / Show Manager .
Highlight the Templates item. Touch the + button
to expand the tree. Select a show from the list and
touch Recall. A show takes around 2 minutes to
load depending on the amount of data stored.
Recall the layout for your Surface
When the recall has finished, a 'Hello' message is
displayed on the strips. This is to remind you to
load a Scene to match your iLive model. The Scene
recalls the strip layout for your Surface size and
configures the output patching for either the
standard iLive or the T Series. Press the SCENES
key below the TouchScreen -
SCENES / (Surface
name) / Recall Scene
Customise and save your settings
You may wish to make changes to the configuration
and save the new settings as a User Show. Before
you do this we suggest you Delete Scene 1 - 14 to
clear them ready for your own application.
