on top of the LEVEL, VOL and DIR parameters. The difference lies in the way they handle
volume fades. Locking them accordingly will make the crossfader fade between the volume
of the tracks or inputs in an equal energy fashion. This way of locking volumes is suitable
when wanting to avoid the volume dip that otherwise would occur when the crossfader is
used to fade between two tracks and reaches the center position.
The parameters are only visible when keeping a [SCENE] button pressed. The XLV
parameter is found as an overlay to the LEVEL parameter found in all TRACK PARAME-
TER pages. The XVOL parameter is found in the AMP MAIN menu. The XDIR AB and
XDIR CD parameters are found in the MIXER menu.
The XLV parameter can be locked to two settings.
• MIN will mute the signal, post track effects.
• MAX will let signal through at the set LEVEL signal level.
The XVOL parameter can be locked to two settings.
• MIN will mute the signal, pre track effects.
• MAX will let signal through at the set VOL signal level.
The two XDIR parameters can each be locked to two settings.
• MIN will mute the signal.
• MAX will let signal through at the set DIR signal level.
• Pressing the LEVEL knob while holding down the [SCENE] key pressed will
remove the LEVEL lock. An XVOL lock is removed by pressing the corresponding
DATA ENTRY knob while keeping the [SCENE] button pressed. An XDIR AB lock is
removed by pressing knob B while keeping the [SCENE] button pressed. XDIR CD
is removed by pressing knob C while keeping the [SCENE] button pressed.
SCENE MUTE
Mute a scene assigned to a scene slot by pressing [FUNCTION] + [SCENE A]/[SCENE
B]. When muting a scene the locked parameters of assigned scene will be disregarded and
instead the general parameter values of the active part will come into effect. This makes it
possible, given the scene parameter values are locked accordingly and the position of the
crossfader fully activates the scene, to for example apply washes of effects by unmuting a
muted scene.
SCENE COPY
It is possible to copy a scene and paste it to a new scene location.
To copy a scene assigned to scene slot A or B, press and hold a [SCENE] key and press
[REC]. A window saying “COPY SCENE” will appear. Paste a scene by holding a [SCENE]
key and pressing [STOP]. A window showing “PASTE SCENE” will be shown. The copied
scene will be pasted to the location of the scene assigned to the scene slot.
