Chapter 19. Automation (Scenes and Shows)
This chapter shows you how to use scenes and shows, which are part of the HD96-24 automation.
About Automation
The HD96-24 has a new Automation system that is predominantly a GUI-only feature that allows complex editing of scenes and the creation of show les via the GUI.
Some controls for storing and recall of scenes can be added to the Global Assignable Shortcuts area.
The automation system of the HD96-24 can store and recall a vast number of scenes, each one being a snapshot of the HD96-24 settings at the instant the scene was
created. By recalling scenes, users can, with certain exceptions, restore the HD System to the state that existed at that time the scenes were stored. This makes it ideal
for multi-act tours by providing quick and accurate access of settings for the band with a minimum of sound check time, as well as complicated touring bands, where
each song requires dierent eect settings with various channel changes such as mutes or level control of monitor sends.
Master Scene
The Master scene is a new concept in how to update and control automation data.
By default, the Master Scene is locked. Each new scene stored will recall all the information stored in it. Recalling the Master Scene when locked will bring back all
default values similar to the 'safe' scene in Pro Series.
With the Master Scene unlocked and used as the starting point of your show, any changes to the Master Scene will be seen as the new default setting when saving
new scenes. However, it should be noted that any stored changes in consequent scenes will be propagated to future scenes rather than the default setting.
The Master Scene can be used as a default for all recalled scenes that do not have dierent parameter/setting information stored in that scene. For example, if the EQ
of channel 1 is changed in scene 3 and wish to copy that EQ change to every scene, you can by saving to the Master Scene. If scene 2 has a separate EQ stored to the EQ
you have just stored to the Master scene, the stored EQ of that scene will be recalled, not the EQ from the Master Scene.
Note: When unlocked The Master Scene recalls anything saved to it.
Master Scene events are created just as you would for any other scene. Events of a similar type in other scenes will override the Master ones once stored.
It is possible to delete all changes in a channel (so it follows the master scene again) or individual change, such as EQ or Aux level change in a scene if you don’t require
the automation change anymore by using the Show Editor (Chapter 20).
Auto-save
This saves the current show every time a scene is saved or if a playlist is opened, created or edited. This powerful feature makes life easier for the user knowing the
show is always saved.
All of the scenes for a show are contained within a show le. Show les are stored in the HD surface, so that they can be loaded when required. They can also be
transferred to/from external USB storage devices and via the Midas mCloud.
Events provide an additional scene control by which you can use the MIDI, Target Tags and Notes functions to trigger events on internal and external devices from
within the show le.
