channel mute controls

J)Status LED

This bi-color LED, associated with each controlled Mute, shows the condi-
tion of that mute. One of 5 possible states is possible:
1)Off- The channel is not controlled by the Mute Controller.
2)Steady Red- The channel is being muted by a Mute Scene.
3)Steady Green- The channel is in Safe Mode, can’t be muted by any
Scene.
4)Blink Red- The system is in Edit Preview Mode and the channel is in the
currently selected Scene (only 1 Scene active at a time).
5)Blink Green- The system is in Edit Safe Mode and the channel

is includ-

ed in the Safe Scene.

K)Mute Switch

This momentary switch toggles the Channel’s local mute and is also used to
assign / un-assign channels to Mute and Safe Scenes when in the Edit Modes.

L)Mute LED

This internal Red LED will illuminate whenever the channel is muted, either
locally or by a Mute Scene.

NOTE: If a channel is already locally muted when a relevant Mute Scene is activated,
this LED will remain lit. 2 sources are now telling the channel to mute; the Local
Mute and the Mute Scene. If the Mute Sw (K) is pressed once, the local mute will be
cleared, but no apparent change will occur.The Mute LED (L) will still be lit, and the
Status LED (J) will still be steady Red. At this point there is only one source telling
the channel to mute; the Mute Scene. If the Mute Scene is then disabled, the channel
will un-mute because the Local Mute was previously cleared.The user should be
aware of this fact:The Local Mutes can toggle invisibly behind a Mute Scene. For an
even number of presses on the Mute Sw (K), the Local Mute will return to its origi-
nal state, an odd number of presses will change the Local Mute to its opposite state.
Each press of this switch increments the Sequenced Mutes by one, the display (B)
will reflect this. Also used to activate the displayed Scene when an Up/Down (A)
button was used to scroll to a new Scene. In this case, an "*" will be displayed as the
first character in the display to indicate that the displayed number is not currently
the active Scene. Pressing Recall will put that displayed Scene into place and clear
the "*" from the display.

NOTE: All of the above actions will take place, but the displayed Sequenced Scene
will not be active (mutes not enabled) unless the Micro Scene switch (G) is lit. Each
press of these switches increments or decrements the Patch Display (B). Holding
either button down will allow quickly scrolling up or down.The buttons are also
used to select the parameters and settings of the system while in Utility mode.
