PRESET MASTER
A Preset Master controls the overall level of all the channels in a preset (above). The MINIM
provides a Red and a Yellow Preset Master to control the overall level of the red and yellow banks
respectively.
GRAB MASTER
A Grab Master is similar to a Preset Master in that it can control the level of a number of channels.
It differs from a Preset Master in that it does not have dedicated channel faders under its control. It
“grabs” or stores the channels that it controls from other areas of the MINIM . Typically, it would be
used to grab the current output of the MINIM.
When a grab is performed, an exact copy of the channels that are on (including their levels) is
loaded onto the Grab Master. This is often referred to as taking a “snapshot”.
SCENE
A Scene is a recorded group of channels (at their respective levels) plus fade times. Once you have
recorded some Scenes, you may of course fade up several Scenes at once and record the
combination as a new Scene.
CHASE
A Chase is a list of steps that are replayed in order, stepping continuously from one step to the next
and automatically repeating the list when it has reached the end.
PLAYBACK
A Playback provides a means of playing back and controlling the overall level of a Scene or a
Chase.
1.5 SOFTWARE
The software version of your MINIM can be momentarily displayed on the F/A LED’s.

Example: Software version V1.2 will be displayed as follows – F/A Yellow #1 LED will light to
indicate Version 1 and the F/A Red #1 and 2 LEDs will light to indicate Revision 2.
