The
,
,
and
mix levels are stored in the
song memories. The channel fader levels are not
stored. They always control the level according to
their position. This prevents any confusion as to their
function.
However, a
function is provided so
that channel level changes can be stored, for example
to compensate for differences in backing track levels
between songs, or to allow rhythm or solo guitar
playing between songs. This is like having an
additional fader element in series with the channel
fader. You can set the levels using the trims with the
faders set to their normal ‘0’ position.
A trim range of –15dB to +6dB is allowed. Use the
keys if you need to turn channels fully off in
the memories.
Press the
key to display the level trim settings
for all the channels and effects.
The soft strip provides a level trim control for each
channel. The current settings are displayed as level
bars with normal 0 position shown.
Decide if you wish to use the trim function. To
disable the trims press the
key again to display
the
!
screen. Use the
keys to
select on or off and confirm or abort the change by
pressing either the flashing
key or the
key.
To use the level trims for performance automation
start by setting the channel and effects faders to the
normal ‘0’ position. Press
to set all the trims
flat at 0dB. Make the required level changes using
the trim controls, not the faders. Press
to
restore the previous settings or those marked by
pressing
. Store the settings into the song
memories as required.
To recall the levels during live performance adjust
and leave the faders at their ‘0’ position. You can use
the faders to make overall adjustments during the
performance if required. If you do not want to use
the stored trims turn them off as described above.
Press the
key to access a menu of utility
functions. Select the required function by repeatedly
pressing the
or the
keys. These include:
•
control to adjust the LCD display. Use
soft strip control 10 to adjust the contrast,
to restore the default.
•
to edit an 8 character name which can
be used to identify your console and archived
memories.
•
to select one of channel 1 to 16.
Use control 10 to scroll through and select the
required channel.
•
to archive the memory data. Press the
flashing
key to start the dump.
•
to check the console software
version.
It is standard practice to switch off or turn
down any connected power amplifiers before
switching off the console.
Press the rear panel MAINS switch to turn the
console off. The DP1000 relays disengage
immediately to protect the loudspeakers.
The control settings are saved on power down and
will be restored when you next switch the console on.
The contents of the copy buffer are cleared. The
icon always powers up in the
screen.
