Using the Focus function Using the Focus function "Focus" is a function that lets you select the parameters that will be updated when you recall each scene, so that only specific parameters will be updated when you recall that scene. For example, it is convenient to use this if you want to recall only the input channel settings of a certain scene. HINT • As a function that is the converse of Focus, there is also a "Recall Safe" function that lets you select channels and parameters to be excluded from recall operations (→ p. 140). However while the Focus function is specified for each scene, Recall Safe settings are common to all scenes. 1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [SCENE MEMORY] key repeatedly to access the SCENE FOCUS screen. In this screen you can make various settings for the Focus function. The screen contains the following items. 1 2 1 FOCUS field This field lets you make Focus function settings for a scene saved in scene memory. Using the buttons arrayed in the center, select the parameters that will be updated when you recall the scene selected in the list in the left side of the screen. For other scenes, you can only check the on/off status of each parameter. B CURRENT field This field lets you make Focus function settings for the scene you're currently operating. If you select a parameter in this field and then store the scene, your selections will be used the next time you recall that scene. When you recall a scene, the Focus function settings of that scene are shown in this field. 2 Make sure that the cursor is located somewhere other than the constant display area, and use the dial or the [DEC]/[INC] keys to select the scene for which you want to make Focus function settings. 3 Use the buttons other than "ALL" to select the parameters that will be subject to recall. These buttons correspond to the following parameters (multiple selections are allowed). Button name RACK HA IN (PATCH) OUT (PATCH) IN OUT SEND Corresponding parameters Rack settings Head amp settings Input port patching Output port patching Input channel parameters Output channel parameters On/off status and send level settings for signals sent from input channels to MIX buses (shown only if the OUT button is on) HINT • The SEND button is shown only if the OUT button is on. However if both the IN button and OUT button are on, the parameters corresponding to SEND will automatically be subject to recall. 13 Scene memory 4 If you want to cancel the restrictions you specified in step 3, so that all parameters will be subject to recall, turn the ALL button on. When you turn on the ALL button, all other buttons for that scene will be turned off. Turning on any other button will turn off the ALL button. 5 Make Focus function settings for other scenes as described in steps 2-4. 6 Recall a scene for which you've made Focus settings. If buttons other than ALL are turned on for the scene, only the parameters whose buttons are on will be recalled. If the ALL button is turned on for the scene, all parameters will be updated. HINT • For scenes other than the scene number currently selected in the scene list, check marks show the state of the Focus function settings. • Scenes for which Focus settings are made are indicated by a "FOCUS" indication in the STATUS field of the SCENE LIST screen. • The Focus function can be used in conjunction with the Recall Safe function (→ p. 140). Channels or parameters that are excluded from Recall operations by either Focus or Recall Safe will not be recalled. LS9-16/32 Owner's Manual 139
