[. . . ] The card can either be retrofitted or ordered on new desks. The desk software automatically reconfigures itself when it detects the card has been plugged in. See the end of this guide for how to install the additional card. The C layer button in the Fader page control section of the surface now allows access to the extra channels and additional input meters will appear in the main screen. [. . . ] Snapshot Scope is a specific filter that is stored with each Cue, and controls what data that Cue's desk snapshot will recall.

This works in the same way as the previous software versions, but the channel strip border on the Vistonics screen now changes to purple to indicate the All Isolated state. To quickly isolate groups of channels or busses, the Gang function can be used. The new functionality with V3. 0 allows parts of a channel or bus to be isolated. This is done by pressing and holding the ISO button, and simultaneously dabbing the part of the channel strip that you want to isolate. A purple LED appears in the top corner of the block to indicate that the block is isolated. To isolate an individual parameter, you first zoom into the function block so you can see the parameters within, and then press & hold ISO and touch the Vistonics knobs of the parameters you want to isolate. If the sub-page isn't already open, you can press and hold on the screen block as well as the ISO button will zoom in if a screen isn't already open and allow parameters within the block to be accessed. This feature is designed to be used in conjunction with Gang mode to set ISO's across the desk quickly and easily. An alternative method is to go into the Cue List page and switch on the purple Edit Global Filter button, which puts the whole desk into edit mode, so holding the ISO button is not necessary. Note that this isolation is for ALL snapshots, and the settings you make concerning isolation are saved and loaded with the Show (but there is an option to turn this off see later).

In the above example, two MIDI events have been set up to control an HD24 multitrack machine by locating it to a song position Timecode value (event 1), and then to start the playback (event 2), when this Cue is recalled. In this example, the Desk Snapshot element of the Cue has been disabled so that this Cue can be recalled at any time without disturbing settings on the console, in order to provide Machine Control during a `virtual soundcheck' scenario. Using Snapshot Scope, it would also be possible to make another Cue that did have its snapshot enabled, and could be used solely to switch over the Input selector of all console inputs from the Stagebox microphone sources, to the Playback via MADI or ADAT cards (if fitted). By changing a setting in the MIDI tab of the main Menu, it is also possible to monitor incoming MIDI Timecode and display its value in place of the Show name on the Main Control Bay Screen. Also in the new MIDI Menu it is possible to globally disable the entire MIDI In and Out on the console, and to set up meaningful device names for each MIDI channel which will then be seen in the Cue List when setting up events. Vi V3. 0 Quickstart Guide. doc Page 11 Applying Changes on the Desk to Multiple Cues The V3. 0 software includes the capability to copy control settings that exist on the surface, into one or any number of other Cues in the Cue list. It is possible to define which controls from the current surface state will be stored, and which Cues you want to update with these control settings. The changes made to the Cues will be `absolute', ie the original setting of that parameter will be replaced by the new setting. Start the process by ensuring the parameters you want to Apply are active on the surface. They do not have to be stored already in an existing Cue. Press the START button in the Appy Changes field that is located on the bottom row of Vistonics controls below the Cue List. This brings up the Scope selection panel on the left of the Cue list - this is now used to choose which parameters on the surface you want to copy to other Cues. You will notice the Scope panel appears with all parameters deselected, but all channels selected, this should speed up the selection process. [. . . ] The part number to use when ordering this card as a retrofit is RS2401SP. Although DSP cards will work in any of the free slots in the upper section of the Local Rack, it is recommended to fit the additional card in such a way that there is one free slot in between all of the cards, in order to maximize efficient airflow in the rack. The new DSP card should therefore be fitted to the right of the Lexicon/BSS FX card, as shown in the diagram below (DSP 3 card, indicated with arrow). Note that the FX card may have to be moved one slot to the left, depending on how it was installed from the factory. [. . . ]
