USB Scene transfer
Recalling a Show completely overwrites all system settings and system configuration. This may not be ideal in a festival situation where several guest engineers arrive with their settings stored as Shows on their USB keys. You may not want important settings such as output processing and I/O patching overwritten.
USB Scene Transfer lets you select one or more Scenes or 'last settings' from a USB Show file, and copy these to Scenes within the iLive. A Transfer Filter can be assigned to block selected parameters from being transferred. You can also copy Scenes from the iLive back to the USB Show.
To select and transfer Scenes from the USB key go to the Surface UTILITY / Configuration / USB Scene Transfer screen or Editor Tools / Scene Import Export window. Plug in the USB key. All Shows found on the key are listed in the right hand window. Highlight a Show and touch the + button to open up the list of Scenes in that Show.
The first item in the list is called Last Settings. These are the parameters that were current when the Show was archived. It is most likely that the guest engineer may not have stored his settings as a Scene and simply archived the Show to save current settings. In this case you can transfer these into a Scene you have allocated and named in your iLive.
Before transferring Scenes touch the Filter button and select parameters from the list to Block or Allow their transfer. Use the Filter + and - keys to expand or collapse the parameter tree. Items blocked are displayed in red. Items which have partial selection in their tree are displayed in orange. Once the Filter is set, highlight a Single or Multiple USB Scenes in the right hand window to transfer. Next, highlight a Scene in the left hand window to be overwritten by the transfer. Touch the Copy to iLive button to start the transfer.
Note - Transferring Scenes from the USB key does not immediately change the iLive settings. You need to select a transferred Scene and Recall it before its settings take effect.
Note - USB Scene names transferred overwrite the current iLive Scene names. The Last Settings item does not overwrite the Scene name. You can name iLive Scenes ready to accept Last Settings from the USB keys of different engineers.
Note - Scenes transferred into the iLive in this way may have been created on an iLive system with a different mix bus configuration, layout and patching. The transfer does a 'best fit' to match parameters to the iLive. Check the settings after recalling the Scene.
