other state than when shut down. In that case, you will need to send out a different
preset to realign the system.
5.7 PRESETS
A great deal of what the software remote control comprises is a sophisticated manager for
the creation and use of presets. The capability of the software goes beyond the hardware
remote controllers.
5.7.1 Sessions
The concept of a “Session” has been introduced to the software remote. It has been pointed
out throughout this manual that there are a total of 60 presets available. HRemotes can
store 60 presets within a single Bank of 16 preamp units. It takes 8 HRemotes to store
all 8 Banks. A Session is a complete package of all 60 presets across all 8 Banks. Only the
software remote has a big enough “picture” of the constellation to deal with a Session
in its entirety. However, if enough HRemotes are present to represent the constellation,
then they can each contain a snapshot of all 60 presets within their own Bank, effectively
storing one complete session among themselves.
Sessions Are Implicit
As soon as the software is running, an ad hoc unnamed Session exists. As soon as you Save
a session, it becomes named and re-usable.
Presets Versus Sessions
A Session comprises a set of all your working Presets in all of your working Banks. It has
the widest possible scope and typically represents your entire show control setup. Multiple
Sessions can be stored to Disk and recalled for different shows, or a single Session can
become your permanent setup.
It is possible just to save and load Presets instead of Sessions. This can be very useful when
you are building your show control setup. Once all your Presets are designed and saved,
then you can save the Session and capture all the presets at once.
Load & Save Options
Whenever you want to load or save, there are three options:
1. Session to/from Disk
2. Preset to/from Disk
3. Session to/from HRemote
Saving to Disk is the most complete image of a Session. That’s because the software can
generate unit, mic channel, group assignments, and preset labels up to 128 characters in
length. The entire data structure with full-length labels can be saved to Disk.
NOTE: HRemotes can store only the first 16 characters of any label. Extra characters
are cut off and lost.
5.7.2 Loading and Saving Sessions

options.
2. Click the option you wish.
