Various Procedures

Recalling (switching) presets

With the MTX system, input/output port patching, matrix mixer
settings, and the parameters of XMV amps within the same
MTX system are stored together as a "preset" in the MTX3 and
in MTX Editor for recall when desired.
Each MTX system can store 50 presets. MTX Editor is used to
edit presets.
Each preset contains settings such as the following.
• Input/output port settings and patching
• Input/output channel gain and EQ settings
• Matrix mixer settings
• Zone settings
• Routing settings
• Effect settings
• DCA and mute group settings
• Parameter settings for XMV devices within the same MTX
system
• Preset name
For details, refer to "MTX Editor User's Manual."


Switching presets from the MTX3

1. While watching the [PRESET] display, use
the [s]/[t] buttons to select the preset
number that you want to recall.
The [PRESET] display will flash during this time.
2. Press the [ENTER] button to confirm your
selection.
The [PRESET] display will stop flashing; the preset has
been recalled.
NOTE
• If you leave the device for 30 seconds with the [PRE-
SET] display flashing, it will revert to the previous pre-
set number.
• If a control panel such as a DCP series unit is con-
nected, you'll be able to easily switch presets.

Setting the clock

Each time the devices connected to the MTX system are
brought online, the date and time of the computer will be trans-
mitted to all devices, automatically updating their internal
clocks.
You can also update the date and time settings on all devices
connected to the same network by transmitting the computer's
date and time settings from the "Clock" dialog box in MTX
Editor.
For more information on operation, refer to "MTX Editor
User's Manual."

Using the scheduler

The scheduler can switch presets or play music and sound
effects from the SD memory card at the date and time you spec-
ify. Each such setting is called an "event."
Event settings are made in the "Scheduler" dialog box of MTX
Editor. For details on operation, refer to "MTX Editor User's
Manual."
